Tzitzi-Ya-Ku Combat Info

• Tzitzi-Ya-Ku has the ability to perform a special attack where blinding light emanates from its head. The attack will cause Stun.
  • This attack cannot be avoided by looking away from it.
  • It has a telegraphed pattern beforehand that warns hunters of the range it will cover.
  • To avoid the attack, stay out of the stun range.
  • The stun will activate even if the hunter or camera is facing away.
  • The flash attack can be blocked by looking at it with a shield up. (Gunlance, Lance, etc.)
• This large monster can perform powerful kicks
• A major weak spot is the head, which doubles as a breakable part.
• Weak to Thunder and Ice
• Kinsect Extract:
  • Red: Antennae, Forearms
  • Orange: Head, Tail
  • White: Body
• Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's organs begin to radiate before it releases its blinding pulse, giving you enough time to escape and flank it. Damaging this organ will dramatically reduce the flash's effective range and can even nullify it entirely.
• While in it's nest it is able to reflect flashes off of reflective shells on the walls to extend the flash range and change angles
• Master Rank Changes:
  • While charging its Flash ability, Tzitzi can move away from the hunter if they get to close. It will do this up to two times after every little Flash.
