The Qurupeco is the second boss-monster hunter's will come across in their adventure. He's a considerable step up from the Great Jaggi, but a relatively tight attack range makes his attacks easy to dodge.
The quirk is, that he can imitate the calls of other monsters and bring them too his aid. Wailing on him a little too hard? Oh don't worry, he'll call in a Great Jaggi, and now you are faced with not one but TWO boss monsters. Qurupeco doesn't like the way you are eyeing him? He'll call in a gigantic Rathian to rip your face off! Interrupting these calls and/or driving away the monsters they attract (with dung-bombs) is essential to victory. If you see your foe stand tall and start to bellow, hit him hard with a charge attack in the throat or head if you can, or throw in a sonic bomb to stop the call and momentarily stun him.
Knowing these things will bring you a long way toward victory, but the Qurupeco isn't really a lightweight. He'll charge toward you and bowl you over, biting downward. If you get too close he'll spin around and send you flying with his tail. Sometimes he'll hover just above the ground and spit wads of goo at you (get right in his face to avoid the spit and use a high-reaching attack).
In his most lethal attack, he jumps at you, banging the flints on his arms together and creating a fireball. Get caught by this one, and you will go flying and be set a-flame. Most of the time he claps his flints together twice before using this move so watch for the tell, and dodge or run at right angles to the direction he is jumping to escape. He'll usually attack three times with this so keep dodging. You can block, but even with the lance's shield, the attack takes some life away.
Focus your attacks on his throat or head using vertical slashes to take him down the quickest. A dull weapon will bounce off his wings or tail. Make sure to throw a paint pellet on him, as he'll fly to a new area when he feels he's getting beat. This makes him much easier to track down. Keep following, interrupt his calls, focus on his head and throat and you'll have him down in no time

you will want a hammer or great sword for this one
ReplyDeletenote watch the queropecos movements and remember them they are similar to a rathians movements
it has two types of calls
when it rears its head up straight its either calling minor monsters or increasing attack/defense or healing itself
when it sorta bows and makes a noise its calling a large monster like a great jaggi
when its increasing attack/defense you can stop it via attacking or sonic bomb and you will get these effects instead of it also note that its status changing howls also effect the other monsters in the area
its main weakness is its head
i would like to add (warning minor rant) A QUEROPECO CAN NOT CALL RATHIAN UNTIL MUCH LATER IN THE GAME WHEN YOU ACTUALLY FIRST FIGHT A RATHIAN AND THEN AS FAR AS I KNOW IT ONLY CALLS THEM IN THE MOGA WOODS FREE HUNT YOU MORON
ahhhhhh better now XD
