Enemies

Loading Tip
Rockbear's face is a weak point. You should try to lock onto the face to attack it.
When Rockbear gets angry, it'll continuously body slam. To get around this, try moving behind it to make it stop.
Although Rockbear's grab is powerful, it's possible to break free by pressing the movement keys rapidly.
Rockbear has a powerful attack where it'll spin and hit behind itself. When you see it lift one foot up, it's about to use this attack.
When the De Malmoth lifts its front legs and trumps their trunk, they are about to use a shockwave attack. Run away from the De Malmoth before they stomp.
The weakness of the De Malmoth is its back. If you can get on its back, you can attack the headpiece directly.
The De Malmoth has wide attacks, but it should be relatively easy to dodge these and stay on its side.
Burn is extremely effective against De Malmoth. You should attack with fire-based weapons and fire Techniques.
When you destroy all the claws of the Fang Banther, it will be put off balance, giving you a chance to attack.
When the Fang Banther is angry, it will continuously rush. Try not to attack, but concentrate on avoiding these attacks.
