Vaal Hazak
5 Hardest Beasts to Kill in Monster Hunter World
Let’s face it, the undead are a bit overrated nowadays. These slow creatures just aren’t scary anymore, so Capcom decided to turn things up a notch by crafting a zombie dragon. The Vaal Hazak is one of the Elder Dragons in the game, thriving in the heart of the Rotten Vale. This dangerous creature will make quick work of any hunters who come in the fight unprepared. Using its Effluvium, the monster can your current health pool in half until the effect wears off, so you can say goodbye to any of your useful buffs. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Vaal Hazak also has a variety of deadly swipes, charge attacks, and tail swings you have to watch out for.
Fear not, though, as you still have a good shot against this harbinger of death. First off, always remember to pack plenty of Nulberries to counter its annoying Effluvium blasts. Once you get the hang of its attack patterns, strike back with a Dragon-based weapon, or build up some charge and send it flying with the Blast ailment. Don’t forget to target its head, stomach, and tail as you dance around any incoming attacks. The Vaal Hazak will put up a fight, so make sure you’re up to the task if you plan on hunting it.
