Zoh Shia Moveset in Monster Hunter Wilds
Zoh Shia has several sets of moves that change as the fight progresses and you knock more of its armor off, unlike most of themonsters inMonster Hunter Wilds. Below are all of its moves and when you will see these moves, how to avoid them, and what to look for. But first, here are the four phases of this fight.
Phase 1: Swipe
The Zoh Shia will lift one arm or wing up, then sweep it down toward you. In order to dodge this attack, you shouldroll backwards or under its body. If you are close to the monster, it can also do a variation of this attack that is a tail swipe or a bite. It will lift its claw, mouth, or ready its tail to swing at you. After it has its arms exposed, or it is fully exposed, this move will cause additional fire damage.
Phase 1: Ground Explosions
When Zoh Shia raises a wing, it will crash it down into the ground to create a line of explosions. If it lifts its right wing, it will create a diagonal line of explosions from its right hand, across its body, and in a line to the right of the player. to dodge this,roll toward the raised wing. There is a variation where it charges the move first, lifting its wingarm higher, and this will hit just the ground in front of it. It can do this with either hand, and you shouldroll backwardsto avoid it hitting you. It can also do a horizontal explosion line, which is done by raising both hands, and you need toroll backwardsfor this attack too. During the wing exposed Phase 3, it will do these moves with fire damage added.
Phase 2: Small Fireballs
During Phase 2, Zoh Shia gains several fireball moves. This one, the small fireball, will be preceded by its wings lifting on either side of its body and fire being built up in its mouth. to avoid this attack, you need tododge roll to either side. Move horizontally from the fireball.The Ajarakan setis great for this fight as it has high fire resistance and Part Breaker.
Phase 2: Big Fireballs
When the Zoh Shia stands on its back feet and roars, gathering fire in its mouth, it is about to do a big fireball. This covers the ground in front of it in a puddle of fire and will deal quite a bit of damage. The best way to get away from this is to wait untilit shoots the fireball, then roll toZoh Shia’s left or right sideto get out of the way of the flames. Roll away as it hits the ground to ensure your i-frames keep you safe from the spreading flames.
Phase 2: Bouncing Fireballs
The bouncing fireball move is another you will have to worry about as soon as Zho Shia’s head is exposed. This move looks a lot like the other fireball moves, but as it is gearing up to ignite the area around it, you will seeseveral red spots appear in random places on the ground. These are all the places the fireballs will bounce to. You will need to avoid its mouth and the surrounding area, but also those fiery spots on the floor.Dodge away from Zho Shia and the spots on the floor. Thenroll away to the monster’s left or right and back after the spots explode, as the fireballs will bounce around, and the fireball from its mouth will bounce forward.
Phase 2: Fire Breath
There is another fire attack that Phase 2 Zho Shia will use. This one is a fire breath attack that floods the floor directly in front of it with flames. It will look like all the other fire attacks, but its mouth will be facing the ground instead of facing toward you. The AOE of this attack is fairly small, so you just need toget away from Zoh Shia’s immediate area.
Phase 2: Fire Cone
During Phase 2, Zoh Shia can do a mini version of its massive inferno attack. It will surround itself with a ring of crystals and then will throw out a cone of flames around itself, but will leave aspot behind it with no flames. Run behind it to avoid the attack.
Phase 3: Charge
Once both its head and wingarms are exposed, Zoh Shia will do its charge attack. It will first lift its arm, growl at you, then it will charge with its whole body, stomping over you if you aren’t careful. you may avoid this one by quicklygetting to the left or rightof the monster to avoid damage. The move doesn’t seem to have any tracking, so just move one way or the other.
The Halfway Point: The Inferno
During the halfway point of the fight, Zho Shia will do a massive attack. Your character will say “It’s doing something to the area… Not good!” This attack will cause a massive inferno to flood the ground with fire. It will bring up a whole bunch of crystals on the ground.The crystals amplify the fire’s power, so you do NOT want to hide behind them. You want to get to theother side of the arenafrom it, or you will die from the inferno. Get as far away as you may and avoid all the fireballs it throws as it gets ready for this attack.
Phase 4: Lighting Attack
There are two forms of Zoh Shia lightning attacks: a ground circle that it does at the beginning of Phase 4 and a lightning line attack. For the former, it will stand up and roar, then lightning circles will form on the ground. To avoid these, just make sureyou are not standing in the circles. The second type of lightning attack is aline of lightning. To avoid it, either dodgeforward or backwardbecause the line will run horizontal to your character between you and the monster.
