MH Rise Bazelgeuse Combat Info

The formidable scales that the Bazelgeuse scatters explode after receiving an impact but the time they take to regenerate can be used as a chance to attack. When its scales turn red hot, they will explode immediately and require caution, however, parts of the body will be soft too - the perfect time to attack.

Quick Combat Tips

• Bazelgeuse's weakest parts are its head and tail. This is especially true when it enrages and the scales on its neck and tail tip glow red. However, attacking Bazelgeuse's legs can also prove effective in knocking the monster down, making it easier to focus on its weakspots during the small window.
• Fighting Bazelgeuse is all about maintaining mobility and avoiding explosions. Bazelgeuse constantly drops its explosive scales all around the battlefield, adding an extra layer of difficulty and keeping hunters on their toes. This is especially true for melee weapon users as the scales can be set off by accidental weapon swings. If you are having trouble, consider using one of the ranged weapons for a more manageable encounter.
• When Bazelgeuse drops its scales, they are inactive for a time until struck either by the hunter or by Bazel itself. They will also explode on their own after remaining on the ground for a long period. However, when the monster is enraged, dropped scales are primed immediately and will explode after just a few seconds. Striking a red hot scale will cause it to explode immediately so be careful with accidental swings.
• Attacking Bazelgeuse can also dislodge some of its scales, be careful when executing combos!
• Bring Flash Bombs to halt Bazelgeuse temporarily when it flies around the combat area. While subsequent uses will have diminishing returns, you will be able to knock Bazelgeuse out of the sky at least once and open it up for a beating.
• Bazelgeuse is an invading monster and appears in all Locales. It has a tendency to drop in and interrupt hunts. Consider bringing Dung Bombs to drive it away.

Bazelgeuse Attacks & Moveset

Bomb Scatter - Bazelgeuse's most common form of attack is to scatter its explosive scales in varying patterns either from its neck or tail. These scales remain on the ground for a period of time unless struck by either the hunter or Bazelgeuse. When struck, they glow a bright red and explode in a couple of seconds. Scales may also become dislodged when attacking Bazelgeuse or when it moves around. Watch out when this happens as you may accidentally set off the scales during a long combo or when recklessly attacking. When the monster is enraged, its scales glow red and are primed immediately when they hit the ground, exploding soon after. Bazelgeuse will at times strike even the red-hot scales to set them off even faster. 

• Tail Whip - Bazelgeuse turns its backside towards hunters, raises its tail straight up and whips the ground behind it, sending a bunch of scales on a straight linear path outwards. When enraged, it will whip a second time, setting off its scales immediately.
• Tail Sweep - Bazelgeuse turns its backside towards hunters and sweeps its tail in a 180 degree arc, scattering its scales in the same direction. When enraged, it will often follow up with a tail whip, scattering scales in a linear path outwards as the explosions from the tail sweep obscure hunters' visions. Watch out for this dangerous combo and dodge accordingly.
• Forward Scatter - Bazelgeuse flicks its head forward, sending scales along a linear path towards hunters.
• Scatter Lunge Combo - Bazelgeuse tosses out two lines of scales on its left and right. It then immediately drops to a low stance, plants its wings down and drags its neck on the ground as it advances forward between the two rows of scales, setting off explosions along the way.

Strafe Run - Bazelgeuse takes flight and bombards the battlefield with plenty of scales, flying back and forth in a straight line 2-3 times. At the end of the strafing run, it will often follow up with its extremely powerful Divebomb attack. 

Divebomb - Bazelgeuse dives down violently from its strafing run, aiming to crush hunters as it lands on them. This move sets off any remaining scales in the area and deals devastating damage to all hunters hit directly. Keep constant watch of Bazelgeuse as it strafes the area and prepare to move out of the way using our Wirebug or perform an Emergency Evade.

Fireball - Bazelgeuse raises its head up high as flames spew from its mouth and then lets loose a fiery ball that travels forward in a straight line. A direct hit deals moderate damage but the projectile is easily dodged by moving sideways.

Quick Bite - Bazelgeuse winds its head back sideways and lunges forward for a quick bite. Deals very light damage but can flinch and interrupt item use and other actions.

Aerial Stomp - Bazelgeuse takes flight, hovering just above its target and then forcefully lands on top of it. Deals moderate damage and knocks players away.
