Rewards

Above, you will find a list of all the rare items you can get by defeating this monster. Some of them are necessary to make particular weapons or armor.

Tips

1. Kushala Daora often attacks in the air, using flash bombs will bring it down;
2. Kushala Daora can produce a strong wind barrier that surrounds the monster. Gusts of air can repel your hunter, making you vulnerable to monster's attacks. This barrier also makes it difficult to deal damage to the monster. Aim at the head or tail, and when using a ranged weapon, use piercing ammunition;
3. The wind barrier can be easily weakened by poisoning the monster. Use the poisoned Kunai you can find in the guild chest or choose the right weapon to cause this negative effect;
4. Chameleos armor has a special ability, which neutralizes the wind attacks of Kushal Daora and increases the effect of the poison;
5. Breaking the horn on the monster's head will deprive its ability to generate strong winds;
6. Like in other fights with monsters of higher rank, we recommend using other monsters to weaken Kushali Daora. Look for other beasts in the area and mount them;
7. Beware of Kushali spitting attacks, they can repel you and destroy nearby environmental elements .
8. During most air attacks, it is best to stand on the monster's side to avoid damage. Tornadoes created by the beast can stay one the arena for a few seconds. An enraged Kushala can unleash multiple tornadoes in an instant, so stay alert and use Wirebugs to escape from danger;
9. When Kushala Daora is close to death, it will create a vacuum that pulls hunters to itself. After a while, it will create a huge tornado inflecting constant damage. Do not get caught in the trap and immediately use the Wirebugs to move away to a safe distance.
