Get ready to see giant people, pointy ears, four-fingered hands, and a new village.

It’s time to meet the Wyverians!

After entering the village, you’ll get an optional objective to talk to the villagers.

Explore to meet new people and find the beloved Poogie.

You’ll even get a free item if you time it right.

For those unfamiliar, melding is a way to crush decorations and other items to make new ones.

Simply speak with Tasheen and you’ll be on your way to the next mission.

This doesn’t immediately put you into any hunts.

Therefore, you’ll still have time to prepare.

Once you reach the campsite, upgrade your gear and prepare for the next fight.

You’ll need Nulberries and anything that can remove Bleeding.

Rations should work fine.

Once you’ve finished preparing and resupplying, hop on your Seikret to investigate.

You don’t have to travel far to start your next hunt.

Even when you create gaps they’ll close that distance quickly.

This can make it difficult if you’re playing alone or constantly have their attention.

The Odogaron’s mobility often forces you to fight them head-on.

Unlike the Doshaguma, you’ll quickly create wounds.

As long as you prioritise destroying those, you’ll stun the Odogaron frequently.

Then, you’re able to deal damage and open more wounds.

For this fight, you’ll want to use Ice damage if you have it.

Use any elemental slinger ammo you could find to blow them up before the Odogaron does.

Another familiar guardian behaviour is how they have a loud audible cue for an incoming attack.

They do this with a variety of attacks, but you’ll begin to notice the warning regardless.

A trick to take advantage of is using traps under Entangled Rocks.

After the Odogaron escapes to zone 10, you may notice an area covered in tree roots.

This also has a set of Entangled Rocks you could drop.

But, the cool trick here is that the tree roots function as a fragile floor.

The Entangled Rocks will drop the Odogaron into the roots, temporarily trapping it.

you’re free to repeatedly use the roots if you wound the Odogaron here.

This is a fun spot I love to use when fighting any monsters in the Ruins of Wyveria.

Once you’ve slain the Guardian Ebony Odogaron, you’ll learn why you needed two elements.

Moving on from your win, you’ll have to immediately fight the Xu Wu monster.

This one is weaker to Water damage.

You’re in for another agile fight where you’ll wonder where to strike.

Fortunately, almost every part of this monster is either severable or breakable.

Despite the Xu Wu’s agility, they will occasionally do an overhead attack that gets them temporarily stuck.

It’s not obvious that they’re stuck, but they won’t do anything for a moment.

This is a great time to pummel in on them and deal damage.

Otherwise, you’ll have to frequently chase Xu Wu as they use their tentacles to get around.

Aside from using traps, you may notice Vespoid insects as Xu Wu flees elsewhere.

you could either use Brightmoss to lure nearby Vespoids or use their broken stingers.

Either way, paralysis is always great for slowing down a fight.
