As mentioned above, during battle, the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King will occasionally throw three Flamegranate Fruits on the ground, then swallow them one by one to throw them at you to deal damage on hit. You can ignite these fruits with any of your Pyro attacks, causing them to explode inside the enemy's stomach, dealing damage to it.

If you ignite all three Flamegranate Fruits before the boss can swallow them, it will temporarily immobilize the enemy, giving you a window to deal damage with your team's rotation.

There will also be instances when the enemy will throw only one Flamegranate Fruit on the ground. You can ignite the fruit with one of your Pyro attacks before the enemy swallows it to deal a decent amount of damage to it, but it will not immobilize the enemy.

Also, it is important to note that if the boss swallows an ignited Flamegranate Fruit and does not get immobilized, it will throw the ignited fruit back at you, which will deal a significantly higher amount of damage.
