Quick Combat Tips

• Make sure to bring plenty of healing items, as well as weapons and armor that are well-suited for the fight. Focus on items that allow you to dodge or block the Zinogre's attack, as well as items that increase your attack power.
• Zinogre's weakest spot is its head. Attacking this spot is the key to knocking it down as well as kicking it out of its enraged state.
• Zinogre performs many heavy attacks that slam the ground, sending dozens of Fulgurbugs floating up into the air, indicated by tiny, glowing blue particles. When not supercharged, Zinogre absorbs these fulgurbugs into its back, and their energy charges the up the beast. This is most evident during its Stomp attack. Once enough charge is accumulated, Zinogre enters is enraged state.
• Zinogre's ability to enter enraged mode can be severely hampered by applying constant pressure to its back, scattering the fulgurbugs. Its back is exposed when knocked down so aim for its head frequently. You can also use Silkbind Attacks that propel you upwards such as the Charge Blade's Axe Hopper move. A constant barrage against its head and back is so effective that masterful use of this tactic can result in Zinogre only ever entering enraged state once throughout a hunt or not at all.
• When enraged, many of Zinogre's attacks become infused with lightning and inflict the Thunderblight effect, increasing a hunter's susceptibility to getting stunned. Consider equipping the Stun Resistance skill at level 3 when fighting Zinogre to completely negate this property of the effect.
• While enraged, Zinogre will continue charging electricity in its body to fuel its ultimate Thunderbomb move.
• Do not use Shock Traps against Zinogre! When not enraged, a Shock Trap will supercharge the beast immediately. When it is supercharged, it destroys Shock Traps as it runs through them.
• A great way to fight it is to use ranged weapons and attack from a distance. The Zinogre has high defense and can take a lot of damage, so you'll need to be careful. If you're using a melee weapon, make sure to dodge its attacks and stay out of its line of sight.
• You can use environmental objects to your advantage. The Zinogre is weak against water and can be damaged by attacking it with large water sources like rivers or lakes. You can also use traps to slow it down and make it easier to deal damage.
• Defeating the Zinogre in Monster Hunter Rise can be a challenging task, but with the right strategy and knowledge, you can make it through. Make sure to be prepared, use ranged weapons, and use the environment to your advantage. With patience and skill, you can successfully take down the Zinogre.

Zinogre Attacks & Moveset

Claw Stomp - Zinogre leans towards one side, raises that side's foreleg and smashes the ground in front of it. When uncharged, it will take a moment to absorb the fulgurbugs sent floating in the air as a result of the stomp. It can also follow-up with another Stomp immediately after the first. When enraged, Zinogre will often unleash a stomp combo, smashing with one foreleg and then the other up to 4 times. Each Stomp is also infused with lightning, increasing their hitbox and inflicting Thunderblight. In both cases, dodge forward and under the stomping leg as it is raised.

Horn Uppercut - Zinogre stands on its hind legs, raising its upper body in the air. It then dips its head and scoops its target upwards with its horns, sending them flying. This attack has a very long telegraph as Zinogre takes over a second on its hind legs before executing the attack. Get out of its front side immediately.

Headbutt - Zinogre raises its head, slightly pulled back to one side and then smashes its horn downwards in front of it. It will often follow-up with a Somersault Tail Slam or perform a spinning retreat into a Claw Stomp. The Headbutt itself has a narrow hitbox and is clearly telegraphed.

Shoulder Tackle - Zinogre places one foreleg in front of the other, angling its side toward a hunter. It then throws itself forward, tackling its target with its shoulder. This move has a very large hitbox. Dodge roll around its head to avoid the attack.

Lightning Orbs - Zinogre jumps up and spins laterally very quickly, slamming its tail on the ground and sending a set of 2 lightning orbs flying outwards and to one side. It repeats the move spinning the other way and sending another 2 orbs flying outwards and to the other side. 

Somersault Tail Slam - Zinogre turns its rear towards a hunter and then performs a backflip, sending its massive tail crashing on the ground behind it. This attack has a very long range but a narrow hitbox. It also has good tracking so don't dodge too early. Severing the monster's tail will reduce the range on this attack.

Rising Tail Sweep - Zinogre steps back slightly and then pivots on one foreleg as it swings its body in an upward spiral, whipping its tail in a large arc. Dodge underneath its tail towards its pivoting arm (pivoting on left arm, dodge to its left and vice versa) to evade the attack.

Rising Claw - Used exclusively while enraged. Zinogre stands on its hind legs and feints a Claw Stomp with its left claw. During the fake-out, it charges is right claw with electricity and then performs a Streetfighter-style rising uppercut, emiting beams of lightning that jut upwards in the shape of a claw slash. This attack deals massive damage and sends the hunter flying.

Thunderbomb - When enraged and fully charged with electricity, Zinogre lets out a roar and then performs a lightning-infused mad dash in a straight line, attempting to trample hunters. It then turns around, somersaults into the air and divebombs with its back facing the ground, causing a large lightning explosion on impact that sends several lightning bolts striking outside the impact radius. This attack hits very hard and will likely KO hunters with lower level gear. If you are consistent in applying pressure to Zinogre's head while it is enraged, it may never use this move.
