Ash Lao-Shan Lung

EDIT: Sorry you guys wasted your posts, I should've edited this AGES ago, I killed him with what I was using, and was very surprised to only come out with Integrity of 60%!!! I would have thought it would be 30% or something. Thanks for the help anyway!

Got the HR 4 urgent for Ash Lao-Shan Lung. The question is: am I ready?

Equipment:

Dragonbreaker (dragon element hammer, upgraded version of the dragon destroyer (normal Lao-Shan Lung hammer) 884 raw, 330 dragon).

Full Diablo D (gemmed for dragon wind breaker and sharp sword, no negative effects).

Items:

Book of combos 1-4
10 potions
10 mega potions
10 honey
2 lg barrel bomb+
3 lg barrel bomb
10 large barrels
10 gunpowder
10 sm barrel bomb
10 scatterfish
20 whetstone
Armorcharm
Armortalon
Powercharm
Powertalon
Herb
Blue mushroom
8 rations
6 ballista S (I think that's how many there are)
2 sply lg barrel bombs

Strategy:

Bomb the head 3 times per area (excluding 1 and 5), triple pound belly throughout areas 2,3, and 4. In area 5 get the ballista shots off as soon as he enters, proceed to triple pound the belly, when he gets close to the fort, dragonator to the face (or belly depending what stance he's in, I try to get the belly), proceed to triple pound the belly. Rinse and repeat either until death or time over.

Am I ready? If not, what else is there that I should bring? Or is there something I don't need to bring? Should I improve my strategy? I honestly don't know, this is the strategy I used for the chief's Lao-Shan Lung, high rank Ash Lao-Shan Lung is probably a completely different kettle of fish.

Please post this stuff in the Question Hotline.


Dragon Wind Breaker isn't really necessary, you can use the slots for something else like Speed Sharpening.

Given that you'll only be bombing him 3 times, you'll only need enough for 4 LBB+.

I'd take stuff for farcasters (bomb material and exciteshroom), as it'll speed up things considerably.

There are actually 12 Ballista S, 6 in the box and 6 where it looks like a buncha spears.

I'm G-Rank and I still can't kill the Ash Lao-Shan Lung. :|

The dragon wind breaker was for when I was farming Kushala Daora, forgot to take it out. And I forgot about farcasters.

Instead of getting speed sharpener I get bomber.

also, when you get to area 2 and 4 there are ledges you can climb up, and from there you can jump on his back and use the anti dragon bombs and get 3 carves as well. Just remember, AVOID THE TAIL.

The hammer you're using is not the ideal weapon to go for, you want the highest raw possible, I would take the Ceanataur head axe into consideration.

Although it is boring, after your bombing, you just have to spam triple pound on his lower belly (not quite the beginning of the tail) and just wail on him there, he'll probably die within the last few minutes, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a good few hits in on the fortress.

I just got a psp off my friend about a week ago and started MHFU for the 3rd or 4th time lol. (haven't played it for a coupe of years) It looks to me like you are more than ready, I have killed and/or repelled ash lao-shan with much less than what you are planning on using in fact i just did it earlier using only the items in the chest on mission. XD

Alas, i miss my old save... had over 700 hrs of gameplay and soloed everything... Good luck hunting it though it should be really easy with your current gear.
