Tips

1. Watch out when the monster charges! During the charge, Arzuros will run towards their victim while flailing its powerful claws around. It can also perform a powerful hip-check attack or fall on its rear end, so be careful while standing behind the monster;
2. Arzuros is very prone to mounting. Attacking it with silkbugs is a quick way to make it mountable. Once you have jumped on its back, run into a nearby wall to deal lots of damage to the monster;
3. The weak points of the monster are its head, lower abdomen and back. Fire-element weapons deal the most damage to it.
4. Arzuros loves honey! If you have honey in your inventory, the monster will steal it from you and immediately start consuming it. This makes it vulnerable to your attacks;
5. If another player is grabbed by Arzuros, throw flash bombs at the monster. This will cause the Arzuros to drop the player and become blinded for a few seconds. If the monster happens to grab you, you can use Wirebugs to break free;
