Tips

1. Ibushi appears as the last boss of the Rampage quest. While fighting the monster waves, try to get as many points as possible to reinforce your equipment before the final battle starts. Defeating this monster may turn to be extremely difficult if the final gate has already been damaged before his appearance.
2. Ibushi has special sacs on his back and tail that store gas. Focus your attacks at those parts of his body if you want to deprive him of his strongest attacks.
3. Destroying the sacs will cause the monster to fall, making him vulnerable to your attacks. Ibushi can create wind barriers that will protect him from attacks.
4. The monster's breath attacks have a long range - use Wirebugs to avoid these blows. Ibushi can also create tornadoes, which you can use to fly into the air and attack the monster from above;
5. Next in line are attacks where Ibushi throws large boulders, but you can shoot them down using balistas.
6. Once available, use Counter Signal as it amplifies weapon attacks (the signals do not affect damage from balistas) Remember that on the battlefield, there is also a Counter Gong.
7. Hit it to summon Kamura Warriors who will help you during the fight.
8. Use heavy hunting machines, such as Dragonators and Splitting Wyvernoshots that will deal huge damage and break the monster's parts.
