Bazelgeuse Combat Tips

  • When in the air, will have 2-3 flying passes to drop pods on the ground, and will dive bomb you on the last run and make them explode
  • Has a rarely-used front fire blast.
  • Likes to dig its head in the ground and charge you, leaving it wide open for attacks when it completes the move.
  • The scales that Bazelgeuse scatters explode with tremendous force, making them extremely deadly. Focus on its legs to knock it down, and then knock out its scale-generating organs under its chin and tail. (Severing the tail reduces the amount of bombs released at once, but the tail stump still keeps a few after the tail is severed.)
  • Focus your attacks on its head, wings, and tail for maximum damage.
  • If Bazelgeuse shows up at an inopportune time, Dung Pods can be used to scare it away. Carrying dung pods is recommended once Bazelgeuse begins showing up, if you wish to avoid fighting it. However, this is only a temporary solution and the full mechanics regarding Bazelgeuse, dung pods, and possible exploits can be found here.
  • Equip high-defense armor with fire resistance. Choose a weapon that suits your comfort level, considering both melee and ranged options. Ranged weapons like the Bow or Bowgun provide safety at a distance. Utilize weapons with Thunder damage for increased effectiveness, and exploit poison, sleep, or paralysis to gain an advantage during the battle.
  • Ensure you bring healing items such as Mega Potions and Max Potions, along with traps, Flash Pods, Barrel Bombs, and other utility items.
  • Recognizing Bazelgeuse's arrival is key to staying ahead in the fight. Listen for Bazelgeuse's distinct theme song and be prepared for its loud screech, signaling its presence.
  • Understanding Bazelgeuse's attacks is crucial for survival. Stay alert for its explosive scales and move away quickly to avoid damage. Utilize Flash Pods strategically to briefly stun Bazelgeuse, creating openings for attacks. Set traps to immobilize it and deploy barrel bombs during moments of vulnerability for extra damage.
  • Use the environment to your advantage by seeking cover behind obstacles and being aware of your surroundings to avoid getting cornered.
