Deviljho & Riftborne Deviljho Strategy Guide
In order to halt this monster’s movements you must keep up the offensive, so weapons which offer continuous damage output are recommended. When it gets fired up, its skin turns red, and its attack patterns and weaknesses change. In this state, it will exhale breath emissions over wide arcs in front of it and in tandem with its bites. If you continue to attack it during this riled-up state, you may be able to topple it, causing it to eventually calm down. The flesh on its head is usually soft, but almost its entire body hardens as it becomes enraged, leaving only its chest vulnerable.
Recommended Weapons
Bring weapons with thunder, dragon, or poison elements, Deviljho’s main weaknesses. We especially recommend weapons made from Tobi-Kadachi or Rathian materials, which can also be upgraded with style customization.
Recommended Armor
Equip armor with elemental attack skills that match your weapon’s element. Espinas armor is also a great choice, featuring the Pursuit skill. This increases the damage of an attack that breaks a body part for the first time during a hunt, including special part breaks unique to riftborne monsters, making it especially effective.
You can also grant elemental attack skills via driftsmelting. See more details about driftsmelting here.
