Guide:

Tips before getting on the hunt guide itself : Any armor works, as there's a pretty good chance you won't get hit during this encounter I use a Kut Ku D Gunner armor, with a few jewels that give Reckless Abandon +1 (+10% affinity) and Attack Up(Med), but any gunner armor works ( Full Hunter Armor helps a lot to find Basarios, as he tends to hide underground ).

A good bow for Basarios is one that has a lv3 charge pierce arrow, allowing to hit Basarios' weak spot (stomach). A Wild Bow would work well, or even better a Daimyo Warbow I or II.

Now to get to the fun part :

Basarios is a heavily armored Wyvern, with a predictable attack pattern. He uses 3 kinds of attacks:

- A rather slow charge, which he initiates by leaning forward, extending it's right leg behind

- A poison cloud discharge, that hits in a limited radius around him ( estimated radius: ~1.5 back hop )

- A tail sweep, similar to most wyvern tail sweeps

The choice of a bow makes the last 2 attacks pretty useless, as you won't get nowherere near enough to get hit, and the charge is slow enough that you won't even need to evade it.

He might occasionally scream, but even without earplugs you should recover before he can attack (unless you're next to him and he does a tail sweep ... didn't I tell you to keep your distance?)

Once Basarios is located, tag him with a paintball, then start launching a few arrows at him. Only stop when he faces you, and leans forward for a charge. Never be greedy otherwise you'll get trampled. When Basarios faces you, cancel your bow charge (with a roll to the left or the right) and keep moving in that direction until Basarios has charged (and missed) past you. Rince and repeat.

Try to keep a reasonnable distance between you and him (estimated to 3-4 back hops) and aim your arrows through his head and chest. Eventually, you'll have him down in 15-20 minutes, including the time spent zoning while looking for him.

He should not pose much of a problem, once you know his patterns and tells. All that's required of you is patience.
