Monster Hunter Stories 2 is full of important story fights that introduce you to new monsters gradually, and some of them are hard enough to be worthy of the championship "Boss Battle." These involve monsters tainted by "Rage Rays" that make them more aggressive, though they are simply souped-up versions of their regular forms in terms of gameplay.

The strategy for all bosses is similar to regular fights. That is, use weapon types that they are weak to, use set on types that counter their assault types, and if you lot tin use an chemical element they are weak to that's just a minor bonus (though it'southward hardly necessary).

Note: This article contains spoilers for all storyline bosses and their weaknesses and strategies in Monster Hunter Stories two.

This boxing is quite piece of cake as long equally you lot counter its attack types - Technical attacks to start and then Speed attacks when information technology gets enraged.

Tail Slashing
Behavior Attack Type
Default Speed

Seltas

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Seltas Boss
Body Function Weakness
Caput Blunt
Stomach Piercing
Behavior Set on Blazon
Default Technical
Enraged Power

This dominate seems like a dual boss, just the Seltas Queen is the true star of the bear witness. Partway through the battle, the regular Seltas will attach itself to the meridian of the Seltas Queen and become a body part that you can target.

While the two are combined the Queen will utilise powerful attacks, so employ your best Piercing attacks and Technical monsties to take care of information technology quickly. Don't carp trying to take the Seltas out before they combine every bit the Queen can but summon more.

Body Role Weakness
Head Slashing
Wings Slashing, Blunt
Body Slashing, Edgeless
Beliefs Attack Blazon
Default Technical
Enraged Speed

You'll desire to be careful when information technology flies, as it can employ powerful attacks then.

Having a practiced Slashing weapon will get in easier on you but having a powerful Hammer for its part-breaking moves will help during the periods of the boxing where the Legiana flies. Alternatively, try Wink Bombs to ground the icy wyvern.

Body Part Weakness
Body Slashing, Blunt
Legs Slashing, Blunt
Tail Piercing
Behavior Set on Blazon
Default Technical

If you find yourself particularly annoyed by this skill, consider using whatever Nulberry Elixirs you've found - but it shouldn't exist also much of an impediment.

Otherwise, the fight is quite easy - but employ the most constructive moves and information technology will go down in no time. One time the battle is over you may want to pick up a Mizutsune of your own as they are very powerful Technical monsters.

Body Part Weakness
Head Blunt
Legs Slashing
Wings Slashing
Behavior Attack Type
Default Technical
Enraged Speed

Keep an eye on the Nergigante at all times and brand sure you're using the appropriate weapons. Hammers and their part-breaking moves are corking hither to get rid of the spikes ASAP.

Don't be afraid to heal sooner rather than afterwards with this boss as it can really put the hurt on you. By the fashion, your advantage for beating this ane is the ability to find Nergigante eggs in the Terga region.

Body Blunt
Tail None
Behavior Attack Type
Default Power
Enraged Technical

It's upwards to you lot whether you want to try and pause it or simply ignore it and have those attacks head-on.

Information technology will sometimes spend a plough charging up a fiery assault, this is your warning for Blazeball. This is an incredibly stiff ultimate attack but it'southward a Speed skill, and so it may exist worth storing a Kinship skill to interrupt it or hope that you tin can pull off a Technical double assail.

3 Glacial Agnaktor

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Glacial Agnaktor Boss
Torso Part Weakness
Head Edgeless
Trunk Edgeless
Tail Blunt
Behavior Set on Type
Water ice Armor Power
No Ice Armor Technical

If you've fought the regular Agnaktors in the game you volition know what to wait with this icy variant. Information technology begins the battle with Ice Armor, giving it some defense, but will fall rapidly to Edgeless attacks.

Once this armor is gone information technology will resist all attacks, but its parts will be cleaved and therefore you should still practice keen damage. If you peculiarly relish different weapon types, this would exist the time to switch — but be aware that it tin can put its Ice Armor support and crave a Blunt chirapsia again.

Trunk Part Weakness
Head Blunt
Tummy Slashing, Blunt
Tail Slashing
Wings Piercing

Phase 2

Default Technical

Phase 3

Beliefs Set on Type
Default Charging Up

The concluding boss of Monster Hunter Stories two is a very threatening-looking Elder Dragon, but information technology's more of a puzzle boss rather than a straight-up hard battle.

Focus on breaking its wings and somewhen it volition progress to the next stages of the battle — a really good Bow with skills that do extra damage to monster parts would be fantastic here, every bit well as monsties with high HP levels.

Every phase change in this fight is denoted with a minor cutscene and a huge attack that reduces the unabridged party to one HP - use your best healing items here to brand sure you survive the side by side assault and then become breaking!
