Dead by daylight the blight series#

It’s all about reading its moves, which have subtle tells, and knowing when to pile on the damage. Overall, Malzeno is arguably tougher than the final boss in many respects. If hit by the laser, Wiredash away to avoid being caught by the orb and its waves (though you’ll still need to dodge a decent amount to avoid damage from the latter).

The other is its Ultimate attack where Malzeno flies up, fires a laser around it, and then fires an energy orb directly blow that splits into two waves firing in multiple directions. Wiredash away to avoid a follow-up attack. Two attacks, in particular, you’ll want to watch out for – the Grab attack, which doesn’t happen too often or inflict much damage but can leave you open. You’ll also want to be careful when it fires a laser into the ground, which explodes and inflicts Dragonblight.Īnother attack sees it firing an orb into the ground and then hitting forward in a line of explosions. It also slams its tail down and then pushes it forward to attack, sometimes twice in a row, unleashes a wind attack on the ground, and even shoots a wave of wind forward for massive damage.Īttacking from behind is also tough since it can quickly stab with its tail without turning around (look for it to stare first before doing so). It shoots three energy orbs that move slowly but are fairly big, making them tough to dodge in tighter areas. In terms of other attacks, Malzeno has a whole range of them. Deal enough damage and it will get knocked down, so aim for its flashing neck and arms afterwards. Aim for Malzeno’s chest when it’s exposed. It also unleashes a spinning attack that’s telegraphed by it drawing the right part of its body back. While running is possible, try not to keep too much distance when fighting since it can teleport and quickly hit you (often slamming down into the ground with an AoE attack). When Malzeno is Enraged, it takes on a more ghastly red form. Next is its foreleg which is the weakest to Cut and Blunt damage. The weakest spot to hit is the head with Cut, Blunt and Ammo damage all being effective. Resistant to Water and Thunder damage, it’s weakest to Dragon element with Iceblight and Blast being the most effective ailments. Attacking Malzeno when afflicted will restore that health though. When afflicted with Bloodblight, the player steadily loses health.

Malzeno is the new flagship monster and brings a new ailment to the series in Bloodblight. Be patient, read his moves and don’t be afraid to take a more defensive stance when necessary.Īs noted earlier, Sunbreak offers multiple Elder Dragons (plural) to fight. This is a tough fight when solo, especially if you’re still grinding through Master Rank. Regular healing items still work as well so as long as you’re not reliant on other forms of healing, you’ll be good. As for Frenzy, it should be fine if you have some Nulberries. Keep an eye on its back legs – when it stands up, an AoE attack is usually coming. Try to avoid striking its head from the front due to the close-range explosions. The key to fighting Shagaru Magala is attacking up close when it’s not Enraged and aiming for its foreleg when it is. Don’t try to outrun this, even on your Palamute since it has ludicrous range. When Shagaru Magala stands on its back legs (the camera will also pan slightly out), it will fire a sweeping beam. It can also fly up and fire some energy which creates explosions but the beam is what you’ll need to avoid. In this state, it attacks quicker and has bigger explosions while also stunning monsters used while Wyvern Riding. When it becomes Enraged, it flies up and starts dropping energy.

However, Shagaru Magala’s strongest attacks also have the biggest area-of-effect. You’ll also want to be wary of any side tackles. This is in addition to charging, firing projectiles, spinning and slamming its claw down to create several explosions. Shagaru Magala can slam down much like Gore Magala (which is easy enough to counter with Longsword or block), but will also deploy wide-ranging explosions from its mouth. Poison is the most effective ailment against it, followed by Fireblight. The spots to attack are its head with Cut and Blunt weapons, followed by the neck, foreleg, hindleg and tail. It’s immune to Water damage and resistant to Ice while weak to Dragon damage, followed by Fire and then Thunder. First appearing in Monster Hunter 4, Shagaru Magala is the adult form of Gore Magala, capable of using Frenzy to an even deadlier effect. It also introduces some new Elder Dragons. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak doesn’t just offer some new Flying Wyverns and subspecies.
