Welcome to Gaia! ::

((A note for all-this guide was made before unite came out in america and I havent really fought it since I got the game and it has new moves I havent gotten to know very well as well as the new color type))
Suggested weapons:This monster is weak to electricity so weapons of that element would be good and I recommend the devil slicer.

armor:Early in the game it would be good to use velociprey armor, but later on you could use most armors and still win without much hassle.

about this monster:It is able to move left right back and forward so standing behind it wont buy you time. its attacks are easy to read and dodge and I will now list those attacks:
Jump-it squats lower to the ground then jumps high in the air if you dont roll or run away in time you will be sent flying.

water blast-it covers its face with its claws then releases a blast of water from its mouth, you can usually get out of the way with one dodge roll and the attack lasts for a couple seconds.

burrow underground- it goes under ground then charges up under you, their are 2 types one is the normal and the other is the berserk. in the berserk it will repeatedly ram up through the ground randomly throughout the area and the best thing to do is get to high ground or keep moving. if you run fast enough it will just resurface where it went down

strategy/tips:I have fought it with a hammer and long sword so I can tell you that when useing a hammer stay behind it and try to break its shell, once thats gone it will retreat soon after. with the long sword and the other blade types you can break its claws but its better not to try because it uses those to attack most of the time so get right up in its face and start dealing damage, its claws have a hard time hitting you there. once the longswords meter is full unleash the combo attack and if its attack is high enough it will usually knock it down. other than that just watch out for its special moves and you'll have a crab dinner in no time exclaim

incredably aynooying

The purple ones are not longer weak to thunder, just so you know.

if you dont know when a daimyo hermitaur is close to death, i think it has a little bit of purple bubbles coming from its mouth

Its weak spot is it's legs.

I usually use a Longsword or DS to fight it.

Stay on its sides and Focus on its legs.

A few hits and it'll go down dazed.

Keep hitting the legs and it'll go down again.

the purple 1 is really easy if u no its weakness

This. It's especially handy for quickly getting out of its way when to does its side-rush, since a lot of the time the wide swipe will hit you even if you dodge. mrgreen
