Preparing For Nergigante
Upgrade Your Armor To Withstand Attacks
Without the proper armor, Nergigante will be able to make you faint in 3 to 4 shots. This is why it is best to upgrade your armors in order to withstand its attacks.
Create a Lightning Type Weapon
Nergigante is weak against lightning type attacks which is why it is best to create or upgrade lightning weapons for the fight. Weapons that use Tobi-Kadachi parts can be very useful when facing Nergigante.
