  1. Honestly, I don’t see a need for a guide on this thing. It was so weak that I only ever took a single hit from it. Mind you it was my first hunt on it so, I didn’t know about the AOE attack and how far it reached. It only ever used it once on me though. I literally just wailed on its tail and it died way to fast on me. Honestly, seems to weak to be a four star. I’d rate that more of a two star. I finished with full health and all of my potions as well as the first-aids un-used. Only used a vigor which was sitting in the area. Just mostly sat there and let me wail on it. Felt a bit underwhelming for a four star honestly.
