Attacks

Glavenus uses its blade-like tail to attack its enemies. To maximize your odds of defeating this monster, first review its attack patterns:

• Red-hot tail: Glavenus drags its tail on the ground, causing it to heat up and glow red. Afterward, it uses its tail to attack its prey. When the tail is red, it becomes softer and is easier to break. However, the red-hot tail also deals more damage.
• Glavenus Roar: When Glavnus roars, its back, eyes, and some portions of the face glow red. This indicates that the monster is going to perform two consecutive jumping tail attacks.
• Fireball attack: Glavenus grips the red-hot tail in its mouth to heat up its throat for a fireball attack. This attack is fired right after the monster's throat begins to glow red. Additionally, the fireball explodes on impact, and the ground beneath the explosion erupts again, dealing area damage.

Tips to deal with Glavenus in Monster Hunter Now

The best time to attack Glavenus is when its tail is red-hot, as during this phase, the monster takes significantly more damage. Afterward, the tail gradually hardens, and the beast gains high attack resistance.

Additionally, keep an eye for any patches of charred ground – these could be from the fireball attack and may erupt soon.
