The scales of this Bazelgeuse variant burn hotter than normal, increasing in number and explosion radius as time passes.In-game description
If regular Bazelgeuse was the party crasher of World, Seething Bazelgeuse is the one that brings even more explosives. This Iceborne variant’s scales burn hotter, and the longer the fight goes, the bigger the blasts get.
Out in the wild
Seething Bazelgeuse lives in the Elder’s Recess, where the heat suits its burning scales. It drops scales as it moves and attacks, and they stick to the ground and walls before they go off. In the Guiding Lands you find it in the Volcanic Region.
Where you meet it
It is part of the Master Rank story. You hunt it in the Elder’s Recess in the assignment The Second Coming, after the Velkhana arc. Optional quests follow.
How the fight goes
It charges, sweeps its tail and flings scales everywhere. When it gets angry, its head and tail glow white and then purple. Purple scales blow up faster and in a wider radius. Its finale is a dive from the sky that rains scales over the area and ends in a massive explosion.
Hunter’s tips
- Ice is its main weakness and thunder works too. Sleep is very effective.
- Bring Nulberries for fireblight, and roll to clear blastblight. Earplugs help with the roar.
- Watch the color of the scales. Purple ones are the ones to run from.
- Break the head, back and wings, and cut the tail. Pitfall and Shock Traps both work.
