Ashen Lao-Shan Lung

The Azure Lao-Shan Lung is a subspecies of the Lao-Shan Lung. It is essentially the same creature, only possessing a different coloring and increased health. They typically migrate from volcanic areas in the time of season where the temperature becomes too hot to handle. The gray appearance of their massive scales are due to life long exposure to the ashes erupted from volcanoes. In Monster Hunter Freedom 2, you must repel it to get to Hunter Rank 5.

=Weakness= The Azure Lao Shan Lung shares the same weaknesses as the regular Lao-Shan Lung. For Blademasters, the weakest point that can be reached is the monster's belly. However, less experienced players keep hitting it on the head, since it's less risky for them.

For Gunners, there is a weak spot that can be easily reached with their weapons, it's located on the back. It's the same place where Anti-Dragon bombs should be located, and you can carve this spot 3 times.

This weakspot can be normally reached on Areas 2, 3 and 4 of the map, by literally jumping on the back of the monster from one of the bridges.

The best way to actually kill rather than repel Lao is to continually hit him in the belly with a hammer (preferably Onslaught Hammer or Diablo Chaos Breaker) but if you are wanting Lao's horn you should use your supply Lg barrel bombs on it's head to break the horn (the bombs probably won't make it flinch straight away so hit after using the bombs) and then focus on the belly, but it's pointless in using the anti-dragon bombs if you are going to use this strategy.

This strategy also works on regular Lao-Shan Lung.
