You'll need to use various tricks and tips to defeat him and claim his exciting rewards. I've tried to share these strategies to help make defeating GOGMAZIOS in Monster Hunter Wilds easier for you and ensure you have a great experience with this boss fight.
What Team Composition is Best for Fighting GOGMAZIOS?
To defeat GOGMAZIOS in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need two teams of 4: one primary 4-player attack team and one 4-player support team, for a total of 8 hunters. Given the difficulty of this boss, I highly recommend using Support Hunters.
A Crucial Tip for Defeating GOGMAZIOS
The most important thing to remember is that GOGMAZIOS's body is covered in a hard, oily substance. Therefore, we need a specific strategy:
First, weaken the boss's armor as much as possible using Fire Element attacks.
After GOGMAZIOS's shell is weakened, use Dragon Element attacks to deal major damage.
It is recommended to focus your attacks on its wings, as they are its weakest point.
Required Equipment for Fighting GOGMAZIOS
Use weapons with Fire Element (to weaken its shell and defense) and Dragon Element (for the main damage).
Upgrade your armor as much as possible for this fight. Also, use Armor Transcendence to boost your armor skills.
Detailed Battle Strategy and Guide
The battle against GOGMAZIOS has 3 phases, each with its own specific conditions and challenges.
Phase 1 for Defeating GOGMAZIOS
In this phase, you have two types of environmental tools to deal good damage: two large boulders and a Fire Plume.
Try to lure GOGMAZIOS under the boulders and then drop them on him to deal severe damage. (It's recommended to save one boulder for Phase 2).
To use the Fire Plume, lure the boss onto it and then activate it by throwing a Torch Pole at it. This intense fire can deal about 2000 damage.
Another tool you have is the softened oil on the ground. You can pick it up and throw it at the boss to deal damage.
Phase 2
In Phase 2, you must focus all your power on damaging GOGMAZIOS, especially its Wing Arms, until they break off from its back. You can then use these to deal major damage to the boss. In this phase, you have two main tools:
Large Explosive Wheels placed around the arena. Push them into the boss; upon impact, they deal heavy damage.
Next to the Forge, there is a lever. Activating it fires a direct shot at GOGMAZIOS, putting it into a Topple state.
How to Use the Elder Dragon Weapon?
After the boss enters the Topple state, attack its neck until the Elder Dragon Weapon falls to the ground. Then, connect the Nexus Wires to the weapon to charge it, and fire it at GOGMAZIOS. After the shot, you will enter the third and final phase.
Phase 3
In this phase, you face the boss at its most aggressive and must stay extremely focused. In Phase 3, GOGMAZIOS moves to the upper part of the arena and spends more time flying. You need to use the right strategy to bring it down.
Use the large boulders on the edges of the arena to drop on it, and focus attacks on its arms and wings. This disrupts its balance while flying.
It is very important to use Dragon Element attacks to neutralize its Gaseous State.
When GOGMAZIOS begins charging its ultimate attack, take cover quickly behind the Fabulous (structure) or go to the high ground, and use Guard Up to protect yourself.
Another weak point is the monster's tail. When it falls, focus your attacks on its tail. Severing it deals extra damage and increases your chance of getting additional loot.
Essential Skills for Defeating GOGMAZIOS
To make finishing off this monster easier, you should use the following skills in this battle:
Use weapons with a Guard feature to block GOGMAZIOS's attacks.
Wide Range is very useful for group play, as it allows a healer to heal the entire team at once.
Divine Blessing can be very helpful for reducing damage from the boss's attacks, especially its heavy hits.
Mobility Skills will help you move without issue when oil is spilled on the ground.
Even if you follow all these tips perfectly, defeating GOGMAZIOS in Monster Hunter Wilds is still a challenging task. You'll need to learn its attack patterns, and it's completely normal to fail a few times in the early attempts—don't be discouraged. Happy hunting, hunters!
