Monster Hunter World Iceborne Beotodus weaknesses and resistances

Beotodus weaknesses and resistances

Its weakest point are the legs, though for the majority of the battle, you won’t be able to damage them as they’re submerged in the snow. What is on show however can be breakable and the most effective way to do so is to use blunt weapons such as the hammer to shatter its face. You can break all segments of the Beotodus, but its tail and head are the other weak points.

As for weaknesses,fire and blast are the go-to elements and ailments for this fight. Blast is particularly effective at shattering its ice armour. All the other ailments are only slightly less effective compared to blast. You should have a wide variety of weapon types to choose from at this stage, so as long as you don’t bring water, ice, or dragon weapons to this fight, you should be fine.
