Preparing For Stygian Zinogre

Bring Dragon Resistance

The Stygian Zinogre's attacks are Dragon-based & will hurt much more if you're inflicted with Dragonblight. Make sure to bring Dragon resistance armor to counter this.

Eat Nulberries When Inflicted With Dragonblight

Always bring a stash of Nulberries when fighting against the Stygian Zinogre. Its Dragonblight is very dangerous & can easily knock you out if you get hit by its attacks when you have this blight on.

Prone To Thunder Damage When Charged

Prone To Thunder Damage When Charged

When the Stygian Zinogre is powered up and charged, your Thunder elemental weapon will be much more damaging. Make sure to bring a Thunder element weapon to this fight!

Break Forelimbs To Topple Monster

Break Forelimbs To Topple Monster

When you break the forelimbs of the Stygian Zinogre, this'll cause it to topple over, giving you time & space to make powerful hits. If you need some breathing space, focus hits on the forelimbs.

Make Use Of Clutch Claw Flinch Shot
