Those mechanics(endgame spoiler alert!
Defeat Malzeno and take that next step into Sunbreaks endgame with this guide.
Qurios are the leech-butterfly hybrids that you have seen flutter around Malzeno in cutscenes throughout the Sunbreak story.

While a player is afflicted with Bloodblight, all incoming healing is significantly reduced.
However, Qurio-afflicted players will also regenerate health when they damage Malzeno.
So, in keeping with the theme of many Sunbreak monsters, the best defense becomes a good offense.

You will heal faster and more efficiently by damaging Malzeno than by pounding more potions.
Throughout the fight, Malzeno shifts between two forms.
At the start, Malzeno has lighter scales and fewer Qurios floating about.

Upon transforming, Malzeno gains a dark aura and will have more Qurios surrounding it.
Blunt and Slashing damage also fare well against the tail and torso, but Shot damage struggles.
Bow and Bowgun players will need to stick to headshots as much as possible.

As for elements, Fire does alright but Dragon is the real star.
If you put together aGore Magalaweapon before fighting Malzeno, it will do wonders here.
All other elements struggle.
Ice does well against the head but is ineffective elsewhere.
Heavy-hitting attacks still pose a threat, butBloodblight allows players to shrug off smaller hits with ease.
Inevitably, you and your team are going to faint a few times on your first try.
This isnt exactly unprecedented, as many monsters have similar power-ups in Master Rank.
However, Malzenos one-two punches are particularly quick, and punish players for relying on certain habits.
If that happens, youre almost certainly dead.
If either of these attacks hit you,just stay downto avoid the second hit.
That’s everything it’s crucial that you know to hunt Malzeno!
Malzeno’s armor has some great skills for late-game, so plan to revisit this fight a few times.
The old maps are heavily featured in Sunbreak too, so see to it to track these camps down.
