Attacks
Edit
The Daimyo Hermitaur is relatively slow for a boss monster, but its attacks take strong damage. Here is a chart analyzing each of its moves. Feel free to correct any information when necessary.
| Attack | Description | How Often? | Evasive Manuever | Counter-Attack | Damage | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hugging Attack | The Daimyo will swing its claws inward as if it's "hugging" you. | A lot | Dodge backward when you see the claws get high. Or get behind or on the side of him by going under the legs. | Hit its legs or shell. | Medium | |
| "Sideways Claw" | The Daimyo will crawl towards you sideways at a fast speed holding its claw out. It will slash once it reaches you. | When you are farther away from it | Dodge to the side near its rear by going under the legs. Dodging to its front will still result in you getting hit. | Hit its side | Low | |
| Water Blast | Foams at the mouth (not te be confused with enraged), holds its claws to its mouth, then blasts water at you. | Rarely, more frequent when weak/enraged | Dodge away from its front. If you are too close to it its claws may still take weak damage. | After dodging the water blast, hit its shell or legs. | High; low if its claws strike you. | |
| Body Slam | Jumps straight up into the air, then slams down / Moves in a direction (GRank/Felyne Elder). Has a small "shockwave" radius | Rarely / Often (GRank) | Roll away or guard | Hit its legs when it is gathering itself up. | High; low for the shockwave. | |
| "Pushing Claw" | The Daimyo holds its claws against its chest, then pushes you back. | When you are very close to it | Roll away or guard. | Attack his side after dodging | Medium | |
| Skull Charge | The Daimyo will walk backwards and ram you with its Monoblos skull. This can make rear attacks difficult. | When you are behind it, no matter what distance. | Roll away when it is about to hit you | After he is done he will stay still for a few seconds | Medium | |
| Digging Attack | The Daimyo will burrow into the ground and shoot its Monoblos skull straight up. One variant is semi-tracking, where after burrowing it targets the spot you were standing when it finished digging. If it does this variant, it will usually resurface immediately. The second variant has no target, and it randomly resurface. An annoying attack, it will do this up to 7 times in a row before resurfacing. If you have the Autotracker skill, you can tell which variant it is using since in the first, the carapaceon icon on the map moves in a line towards you. In the second, the icon randomly moves around on the map. | Rarely, but more frequent when weak/enraged. | Put your weapon away and run in large circles or go near a wall. | It will resurface twice in the same place and then slowly reverse out. you can get a few hits on the monoblos skull. this is great for when you want a blood red horn. |
Very High | |
| Skull Jump (MHFU only) | Daimyo will begin to flail wildly, then throw itself backwards over a long distance. | Rarely in Village quests, although sometimes in Felyne Elder quests | Roll out of his way when its skull is lurching down | It is prone to do a hugging attack after this, so moving to it's side is the best option | Quite High |
