Tigrex | Monster Hunter World Wiki

This ****** is so hard that every time I am trying to kill it, RADOBAAN COMES ROLLING DOWN THE SIDE AND PITS ME TO SLEEP

if you're struggling on this guy, I suggest using dual blades or charge blade. I'm experienced with both, and both of them work phenomenally. They both grant mobility and the charge blade allows you to perfect guard his attacks, which are easy to read. Take your time with this hunt and don't stress, wait for openings and strike. I also recommend using the bugtrappers gear for the palico, as well as bringing some flash pods and flash bugs.

I'm a dual blades hunter and I use Tobi-kadachi dual blades so the Tigrex fight was so EASY man
Capcom at least give Tigrex another rare species

Submit

When I fought it for the first time in Monster Hunter Rise I was so scared but the reason I won was Tobi-kadachi dual blades

Okay, well... Barioth was kinda OK, just need to learn him a bit and it gets much easier. Nargacuga is way easier and weaker by itself. But this thing... This fight isn't hard or skill-demanding, it's just annoying. You need to dodge 90% of the time to deal a couple hits in a small window, otherwise you are 1-2-shotted even with the best MR armour available at that point.

It just has super damage + super mobility + super attack speed. I can't even flinch shot it properly after it's exhausted cuz it recovers and attacks faster than flinch shot animation proceeds. Basically every your mistake results in carting.

This fight would be fun if it had around 1/2 of it's hp, but in current state it's just an endurance+patience check. I killed it by spamming poison bombs and traps (my and Palico's), only attacking when it was stunned/paralised/KO'd and by luring him into Odogaron. Took me around 45 minutes on the last fight and 6 attempts in total before I came to this strategy.

For these kind of monsters who likes to charge at you, as a hammer main, I use a paralysis hammer with some stun bonus to stunlock these things as much as I can. Using traps when he's enraged it's ideal because it open the possibility to stun him while he's in the trap AND also trigger paralysis after a stun which gives you plenty of time to attack him. Don't forget to use stamina thief lvl 3 to make things easier.

Submit

Got him first attempt, I use Insect Glaive and He is very fun to fight with just dodge and let him get tired and sling him to a wall

Submit

Does anyone else hear him roar from across the map?? It scares the hell out of me and I don’t know why I hear it from so far

Submit

I'm always looking for ways to cheese this it's so awful to fight it. Mount abuse, leading it to another monster, sleep/stun spam, whatever. God forbid you get a larger version that makes it less likely for you to be able to roll out of its charging attack thing.

Submit

And i though they couldn't make a fight worse than barioth...

Submit

And i though pink rathian's charge attack was annoying, but of course they had to make a monster that turns that **** up to 11

yay I have the world record for largest Tigrex Hunted!

The guys is a literal cousin of the bat faced rat and the polar tiger i killed him like a billion times barely even capturing him

Bugtrapper
Need a bugtrapper
At least their trap will stop this thing for a moment
Shield cats r ehh... Tigrex hits so hard they cant bear it, also range attack is wide too. Even the cat raw its attention there's no really safe opening to attack
; - ;) when it ever stops cut it tail so its spin range will be a little smaller
So tired...

Submit

I was on my first time fighting him, and I was on my last life. I didn't have any canteen buffs on because I was on cooldown. I clutch clawed onto his wing and he literally just walked forward and it killed me. I was at 96% health, I don't think he was charging. Just walks forward like a Chad, and I died.

Submit

This thing turns so quick after a charge attack. 360noscope move. Oh lord..

As someone right below pointed out, keep your composure in this fight. Don't blindly attack, wait for openings on forcefully exhaust him with flashes, traps, etc. Enraged state can last a while so just wait it out, top up, charge phials or w/e, so that when the opening comes you're fully prep'd. Cutting the tail can help as it reduces the wide af swipes he does with it. The fight is actually fairly similar in tone to Barioth, so if you figured out how to beat Barry - apply similar approach here. If you're a shield user just put a few points into Guard and you can basically afk the fight, just keep fairly close to him so you have more time when the opening appears.

Submit

Was very funny to watch him fall over a bunch after cutting off the tail

Submit

i hate who creat this monster !!

Submit

Great sword and iceborne monsters man.. I'm about to loose my mind. Consecutive attacks messes with the tackle playstyle of this weapon. And then there is this guy with his charge spams.

Submit

Fights with Tigrex shouldn't be approached the same way as with any other monsters since Tigrexes are more of a glass cannon type of enemies. They have speed and power, but they tire, flinch, and fall pretty easily.

You should change between attack and defense, back and forth depending on their state. You may be able to keep the pressure on other monsters at all times, but it isn't wise to engage Tigrexes when they're enraged. Instead, play it cool until they're tired. Maybe get a hit or two but don't get greedy. Rinse and repeat. Think of it like a fight with Rathalos that will never ever take flight. The difference is that Raths are just flash pod-magnets.

Also, don't chase them around. You're asking for a death sentence that way. Just let them come to you!

Its practically if you photoshopped a Trex head onto a wyvern body.

Submit

you need a lot of iframes to properly counter this monster, I'm not a long sword main but had to temporarily switch to it for mantle farming. was much easier to deal with than hammer. luckily got 2 mantles after just 4 hunts.

Submit

First they gave a Saber tooth tiger wings and called it a Barioth, then gave a jaguar the same wings and it's a Nargacuga, now they gave a dinosaur wings and call it a Tigrex?? These three share the same skeletal structure, and all of them are a pain in the ass to deal with. Had my first failed quest because of him too.
Ranting aside, if you feel overwhelmed, Farcaster out, return and wall-slam it to death, that's my strategy with this ****in' pain train wannabe.

hi JEBUS me Smart Guy other people, if you have trouble: read this
so he is very cool but that doesn't mean he cant be a pain he has a very powerful roar that will stun you for exactly five seconds he has a turf war with odogaron so if you are doing a quest place meat on the ground when your fighting tigrex to lure odo since tigrex tires out quickly you take your time reading your wepon you also want to try mounting him because it takes him a while to get up if you knock him down ( one more thing he will charge at you two times three if enraged and this attack makes up 70% of his move set my main point is when he charges if he continues to charge on the 2nt or 3rd time he will stop right before he hits you and spin around possibly stunning you if he doesn't charge on the 2nt or 3rd tim then he will do a long range jump attack on you so be careful with that ) thank you for reading this - Smart Guy

Hello my fellow hunters, mortals seem to be having a problem with this monster so I thought I could shed some light on some forbidden tips. Most of his attacks can be dodged by a simple roll or superman dive, so stay flexible. If your having trouble with his roar he has a simple pattern. He will step back and he has red veins bulging so if you are near his step back just dodge. Stamina thief is also a good skill since he will tire out quickly which will allow you to get in those precious damage numbers. Anyway my dads yelling at me to go to bed so good luck my fellow hunters. (P.S if your having any trouble please comment and I will do my best to help.)

i would like to see a turf was between tigrex and barioth

Submit

Heavy bowgun is just his SeXy face

Submit

To be honest even though the turf war between him and odogoran was a tie I think he would rek odogoran

Submit

He was very intimidating when he killed the Radobaan in the intro but seeing 2X bigger in the event quest was soooo scary when he charged. BUT he does low damage in the event quest and honestly maybe lower than normal tigrex.

"Tea" or "Tie"?

Stamina Thief counters this thing, once it gets tired all it’s movement becomes really slow, with a high chance of it slipping after it’s bulldozer rush as well. Proceed to place down Tinged Meat for it to eat and do some free damage, rinse and repeat

Submit

What if you fight him in Special Arena what ailment then?

Submit

For those struggling, trap spam works well. Rotten Vale map is quite small so you can farcaster back to base get more traps and keep the thing locked down.

Submit

How about a new kind of monster? Something that doesn't look like all the other beasts? No? Okay then...

Submit

You are not supposed to hit monsters in iceborne. They are supposed to hit you.

Tigrex has more Ailments than ice and water, it applies fireblight in the enlder recess and the effluvia debuff in the rotten vale

Submit

Total pussy, my 5 year old cousin beat this thing and he spent half the fight with the controller upside-down

Submit

This monster is just not fun to fight against. It deals way to much damage to have an attack with a tracking, lingering hitbox and whoever thought it would be a good idea to give it a ranged attack is beyond evil.

Submit

Tigreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex

They removed Tigrex tank? Worst monster 0/10

Submit

This thing is 95% I-frame, especially in tight corners...

he screm louger

Submit

It would seem he can also apply Effluvia with the ground chunks projectile when fighting him in the Rotten Vale... So I guess that's one more thing that makes him annoying as f*** to fight XD

Its spin is more stupid than behemoths. You arent save underneath the monster. You aren't save above it. You aren't save 20 meters away from it. What an annoying piece of*****

Submit

All you mai ly need is the trusty vitality mantle and the one mantle used to dodge strong attacks since most of his attacks are powerful. In between charges just hit him IF you can

Submit

*angrily puts on vitality mantle*

Submit

Everyone's talking bout difficulty here, I wanna know the gold crown size

Submit

This things moves are easy to dodge and he is easy to deal damage to. But what’s annoying is that if his feet slightly brush past you, you get one shot and it’s his main attack, so in my opinion this fight isn’t hard or fun it’s just annoying

Any tips

I'm trying to fight tigrex with a switch axe and a friend of mine is using a longsword. How should we tackle this beast?

Submit

Man, I want to love this monster, I really do. It has such a great design, and that damaging roar is incredibly unique, yet it never seems to use this trademark skill. Instead I’m just left playing a glorified game of tag, chasing after the thing as it runs around. There’s an agile, lithe monster, and then there’s this. Potential to be a great on your toes fight, instead feels like a chore. Poor Tigrex. Least he’s got a great, well, everything else! Theme, physical design, I love everything about Tigrex except the run spam. Rather be curb-stomped by a new feature than annoyed by one we’ve already seen.

Submit

Is he supposed to have unlimited stamina, i never got more than 1 hit with any weapon in the gaps of his attacks and he never got exhausted, this guy is bs

*****ing SOMEHOW, while farming for the last required mats for Tigrine Need, i got MORE MANTLES than Cortex. I dont need Mantles, I need Cortex

The Monster Hunter Stamina Test is a multi-zone stamina capacity test that gets progressively more difficult as it continues. The full canteen benefit test begins in 20 seconds. Line up at area 6. The stamina decrease starts at Wiggly Litchi but will slowly progress to Waterblight each minute after you hear this signal. *Deafening roar.* Stamina should be recharged by the time you hear this signal. *Wild screech.* Remember to dodge in the correct direction as Tigrex may block a direction entirely. The test ends once you get stunlocked into hell three times. The test will commence at “Quest Start.” Ready, set, Quest Start! SCREEEEEEEE-

Fighting this thing in the beta is a pain in the butt

Submit

Reminder that the canon pronunciation of Tigrex is "TEE-grex," not "TYE-grex." The developers and Handler say so. This reveals that the first half of Tigrex's name is Spanish in origin, not English. "Tigre" (TEE-gray) is Spanish for tiger. I believe that if the first half of the name WAS English in origin, the name of this monster would be "Tigerex." A single "e" can make a huge difference.
