Preparing For Raging Brachydios
Bring Fireproof Mantle
Raging Brach also deals a lot of Blastblight and Blast-induced explosions that can easily tear away at your HP. Bring your Fireproof Mantle to help negate the effects of Blastblight.
Use Ice Weapons To Hunt
If the Raging Brachydios has the same weakness from older games, Ice-based weapons will be your best bet to do the most amount of damage.
Bring Recovery Items
The Raging Brach is definitely more powerful than its regular counterpart & that one already packs a punch, Make sure to bring a lot of Mega Potions & Max Potions to keep your health up in the hunt.
Stun Resistance Recommended
Raging Brachydios' attacks have a high stun yield, & will often put you in a stunned state. Having a Stun Resistance as part of your gear will stop you from getting stun locked to the cart.
Melees Avoid Hitting Reddened Parts
When the Raging Brachydios has reddened parts in its body, these will explode when hit. Make sure to avoid them to keep safe from damage.
Slime Explodes Almost Instantly
When the monster drops slime on the ground, it won't have an elongated countdown like the normal Brachydios. Avoid getting onto the monster's slime at all cost as these explode almost immediately!
Tail Can Deal Massive Explosions
Unlike the normal Brachydios, the Raging Brachydios' tail is very dangerous. It can cause explosions when it hits you, making it hard to find a safe spot around its body to do damage.
Hunters Will Be Trapped During Final Showdown
When the Raging Brachydios' HP lowers, it will fall back into Area 15 on the map. Once you arrive, it will collapse the entrance, trapping you inside. You will not be able to use Farcaster or Traps. Be sure to return to the camp to stock up on items prior to entering this area!
Slime Behaves Differently During Showdown
During the final showdown, the slimes will behave differently than before, it will not put blastblight upon contact, but will deal heavy DoT while on it which cannot be nullified. The slimes will continue to persist after time, but will be remotely detonated by Brachydios' roar.
