Guide for: Basarios

Game: MH1

Rank: Unsure (There's ranks in MH1?)

Weapon Type: Great Sword

Armor: Anything Velociprey or above works, for the Basarios is very predictable, but just in case, try Yian Kut-Ku or above. Guide: Okay, so killing the Basarios is very easy, for it is predictable AND slow. I suggest bringing 20 whetstones, antidote herbs, antidotes, and some barrel bombs (max the large ones out; it'll help). If you like chargin the enemy as much as I do, then bring some potions along. Take whatever you need from the item box, and go to Area 2. Ignore the Ioprey in Area 1 and on't take a Cool Drink when passing the area between 1 and 2, it doesn't help that much. Okay, so when you reach Area 2, the Basarios will be there, only under ground. It is very easily noticed, because of its distinct shape: Three jagged spires of rock. Be careful not to get too close, or it'll begin attacking. First, take out ALL the Ioprey in the area, for it's a pain having to fight both Basarios, and Ioprey at the same time when you also have a Vespoid stinging you. Oh, and by the way, don't try to bother with the Vespoid; they just keep respawning. So when all the Ioprey are dead, get NEAR the Basarios, but not right next to it. If you brought a Large Barrel Bomb and Small Barrel Bombs, perfect! Set two Larges near the Bas, then set two smalls, and run. If you didn't bring bombs, just paintball him. When he wakes up, make sure to paintball him, if you haven't already. If he lowers his head, he will charge. It is quite easy to dodge the charge, but if you can't, block it. There are some rocks that can be detonated with the same damage as a Large Barrel Bomb. Taking advantage of this, run in front of a rock. If you still have a Large Barrel Bomb, set it in front of the rock. When the Bas charges, it can't correct its course so run to the side and it'll collide. Repeat until all rocks are destroyed/detonated. Then attack his belly/legs with a horizontal slash or an uppercut. You can try a vertical slash., but it usually will hit his back or tail, glancing off. When it charges, follow it. Sprint between his legs and then do a quick draw. If it glances off, wait to recover and roll away before the Bas gets pissed. That's pretty much it. Repeat until Bas dies. Oh, and by the way, it'll do a hip check if you're attacking its belly, but that's easy to dodge. When it leans towards one side, that's your cue to roll away, because that's the sign that Bas with do a hip check.
