Strategy

The Trampler is surprisingly quick on its feet despite its size. Always be aware of when the Trampler is going to charge at you or maul you with its horns. To give yourself more time to react, engage the Trampler at the distance and hit its body with Freeze Arrows.

If you get too close to it, it will release a red vapor that will quickly ignite with flames to burn anything around it. It is generally not advised to engage a Trampler up close, especially if it is still in full health. Various trip wires from the Ropecaster are very effective against its staightforward attack pattern, so use Shock Wires if you have any.
