the brachydios!

For anyone that has fought this beast, how has your experience been? i died my first time fighting him in village using the Finblade GS, then i made HR LoS Armor and breezed thru him, now i got his full set and dios + GS.

how has this new monster been for you guys?

I died twice on my first run due to how unpredictable he was, now he's pretty easy though. Getting close to G-rank brachy, it's going to be hell.

My first 2 run throughs were disastrous, it was difficult for me to use the lance in that fight. Lack of a roll while unsheathed and the futility of blocking while the goo is on you just meant disaster for me.

I switched it up with the Swax (no pun intended) and haven't died to him since. Mobility is key in this fight.

i agree, when he is in rage mode, he is pretty much glued to you, mega dash juice is my bff in a fight with him.

He keeps triple-carting me.

I fight with Plesioth Cutlasses in upgraded Jaggi S armor.

Yes, I keep aiming for his hands, but I get so tied up in the fight, I forget to run away when he begins his "rage pounding."

I am considering gunning again (but definitely gaining confidence and skill on a different monster - Brachy is certainly not the foe to learn gunning.

^ A good thing to remember is some of his attacks you can roll through pretty easily. Especially his jump pound, just aim straight for him when he comes at you and dodge roll straight ahead.. You can avoid his attack and get some good hits in.

He was a pretty significant wall to break through, but he, like others (lookin' at you Tri Barroth) are pretty easy once you practice enough. Learn his patterns and maximise your deeps, and soon the mats come flowing in.

He's so obnoxious though.
