Monster Hunter Rise brings a variety of foes, both new and old, for players to face.

All Great Izuchi Weaknesses

Great Izuchi Elemental Weakness

The main weakness of the Great Izuchi is thunder, so if you have a weapon with this element, it is preferred. Water, fire, and ice are all acceptable secondary options. Remember that these elements won’t deal as much damage as thunder does. Avoid using the dragon element, as the Great Izuchi is resistant to this element type.

You should focus on the Head, Tail, and Tail Tip when using elementary weaponry on the Great Izuchi, as these are its most vulnerable areas. Make sure to aim for the tail tip if you’re using less effect gear, as this is the weakest point on the Great Izuchi regardless of the element type.
