So if you’re here because of that, I wouldn’t be surprised.
The game doesn’t quite tell you what to do and leaves you scrambling to survive.
They can appear in the wild but may not be huntable without starting an optional quest.
The first time you’ll find Jin Dahaad is during theChapter 3-2 main mission, “Indomitable Spirit”.
Fortunately, their head, neck, and iceplates are vulnerable to sever and blunt damage.
The element that Jin Dahaad is weakest to isFire, although physical damage is still the strongest.
They’revery resistant to Iceso you’ll want to avoid using that element.
The best status effects to inflict upon Jin Dahaad areBlastblight and Exhaust.However, all the others are still effective.
You should avoid bringing Sonic Bombs and Pitfall Traps since Jin Dahaad is immune to those.
Jin Dahaad regularly deals ice damage so having resistance to that will help.
However, Jin Dahaad’s armor also provides resistance against Water and Dragon damage.
This means you may benefit from those if you could get them.
But, you will need level 2 or 3 to benefit against their strong roar.
Having all threeInsect Glaivebuffs will also help mitigate roars.
These tips will help you survive and take advantage of their weaknesses to win your encounter.
Destroy Jin Dahaad’s iceplates along their ridges.
Getting rid of these will weaken Jin Dahaad’s attacks.
I’d recommend starting from their tail and working your way towards their head.
Use environmental hazards for massive damage attacks.
This means you’re free to take advantage of the same Giant Frozen Pillar Jin Dahaad climbs on.
Due to their giant body, you could usually land these attacks more easily than you might expect.
Break wounds to stun Jin Dahaad and reach certain body parts more easily.
This creates an opening to break iceplates and deal damage.
Between environmental hazards and mounting, it’s possible for you to create wounds.
Listen for audio cues warning you of incoming attacks.
Once you hear it, you’ll know to get out of the way and avoid getting Frostblight.
Otherwise, you’ll need Cleanser or a buddy to hit you to get out of it quicker.
Pull Giant Ice Chunks down to hide behind and survive Jin Dahaad’s one-shot attack.
If you’re in the right spot, you won’t take damage over time while it occurs.
Save several of them so you’ve got the option to protect yourself from the one-shot attack.
