Bazelgeuse Combat Info

• Elemental damages: N/A (Blast)
• Weak to Thunder element, and to Dragon andIce to a lesser degree
• Can inflict Fireblight on hunters.
• Only moderately susceptible to Poison, Sleep and Paralysis
• The head is the weakest spot, followed by the tail that hunters can cut
• Hunters can also target the wings, but they are more resistant than the head and tail
• The chest portion can be broken
• Friction and heat cause the pods he drops to explode.  When he's red, they explode immediately. When he's black, he needs to hit them (including his dive bomb) to make them explode. You can also detonate the pods manually by firing slinger ammos or any projectile to the pods.
• 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 his head in the ground and charge you, leaving him wide open for attacks when he 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.
• If Bazelgeuse shows up at an inopportune time, dung pods can be used to scare him away. Carrying dung pods is recommended once Bazelgeuse begins showing up, if you wish to avoid fighting him. However, this is only a temporary solution and the full mechanics regarding Bazelgeuse, dung pods, and possible exploits can be found here.
