Use the anvil hammer weapon and full Tigg armor eat a felyne meal KIRIN CHEESE AND GOLDEBFISH BREW. gives +50 health and stamina. When the quest starts grab your suplies and face Gaoren. You'll need to have a lot of whetstones and potions here. Standing mode strategy: Triple pound his legs till they're really red and triple pound the other legs. Gao's steps were predictable, you'll see. If Gao recieves enough damage he'll fall and pound his head or shell(around Lao's tongue) rinse and repeat... Crouching mode: Triple pound his shell around Lao's tongue(his weakest poit, I think) till he drops. Note that you'll recieve damage if you were too late to dodge. Triple pound Gao's head or shell and you'll win.
