Forum:Gigginox Guide (SnS) by D Skull

Guide made by: 

D Skull

Guide for: 

Gigginox (online high/low rank)

Game:

MH3

Rank: 

Online, for both high and low.

Weapon type: 

Sword and Shield(preferably one that is able to inflict status problems).

Armor: 

If this is your first Gigginox hunt, you cant have its armor yet, and becausse of that, you should just bring armor with enough slots for antidote jewels to give you poison immunity

if you have hunted the Gigginox before, i reccommend the Gigginox armor, for poison immunity, status attack up and constitution +2(slows down stamina reduction while blocking and evading)

Recommended items: 

 TORCH the main part of this strategy, don’t forget to take this out of the supply box!

Antidotes*: you are supplied with some, but not enough for 4 people, so bring your own

hot drink*: you are supplied with 8 hot drinks in total, for 4 people, but its better to be safe than sorry.

Dung bombs: it depends on the situation, but you might want to use them

Bounce bombs(+):They are not really needed, but if you want, go ahead and use them when he is on the ceiling. It is a pretty effective way to get more hits on him.

Guide:

Most people think the Gigginox is really easy, but if you haven’t fought him before, or if some of your hunting companions haven’t, this guide might prevent you from getting trouble.

First, you need at least one person with a Sword and Shield, preferably 2.

Then, let the people with the SnS take the torches.

Start off doing the same you always do(lighting up the cave/area 5 and paintball the Gigginox)

Just fight him like you normally would, but when someone is badly hurt, this strategy could be used: Let one person with SnS use their torch(SnS, because they can wield the torch and still have their weapon out to block attacks) to distract the Gigginox. And to taunt it to attack the user of the SnS, leaving the hurt person a while to heal, while the SnS user can just simply block the attacks the Gigginox fires at him/her.
