1. Master the overall picture and basic strategy of fighting Gogmaggios
If you don't understand the overall picture of the battle against Gogmaggios, it's easy to make a mistake in the early stages and end up defeated, so first thoroughly understand the basic strategy. This monster's body surface begins in a hardened state (individual state), softens (liquid state) with a fire attribute attack, and then transitions to a gas state (dragon attribute super weakness) with a dragon attribute. The stage is Aburaku Valley's Forgotten Machine Ruin, and is divided into Area 1 (centered on flat ground) and Area 2 (high ground/final area). The appearance condition is HR 100 or higher, and after clearing the EX mission “The ghost does not care about tomorrow's war ravages,” it can be ordered in the event quest “Toguri falls asleep in the war ravages.”
The weak points are the head, wing legs, tail, back, and chest, and the flesh is soft after softening, and the Hitzone value is 45 for the head, 40 for the wing legs, 35 for the tail, and 50 for the back, making it ideal for continuous attacks with dual swords. Elemental resistance is fire ◎ (softening trigger), dragon ◎ (great damage after softening), water, lightning, and ice are ineffective. Only explosions are effective for status abnormalities, traps and flashes are completely disabled, and Koyashi balls are also ineffective. Aim for the clusters of mutated parts on the body surface (head, chest, back, left leg, right leg, tail, 6 locations, destroy up to 24 pieces), collect the gigantic mutated parts, and use them to strengthen your weapon.
The basic strategy is based on three pillars: gimmick priority, part concentration, and attribute switching. Utilizing the strengths of the twin swords, Ranbu (R2 consecutive hits) and Onijin transformation (hold △), repeatedly move positions from the legs to the back. Aim for a solo battle time of less than 15 minutes, and get 70% damage with 3 knockdowns, 2 big move suppressions, and 1 full charge of the Convergence Dragon Cannon. Support Hunter (Support Hunter) will automatically help you with gimmick transportation, but when soloing with dual swords, use hunter life skills to strengthen your own transportation. The failure pattern is getting hit by a big move and slipping into lava, so evasion distance UP Lv2 or higher is required.
| phase | Main actions | Recommended attributes | damage target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early stage (area 1) | Leg attack/lava launch | fire | 20% |
| Middle stage (transition to high ground) | Wing legs/cooling transportation | fire → dragon | 30% |
| Second half (flight/big skills) | Back/small dragon tube | dragon | 30% |
| Final stage (tail destroyed) | Ranbu finish | dragon | 20% |
Please print this table and bring it with you to review during phase transitions. Overall, the winning pattern for twin swords is to avoid unreasonable follow-up attacks and compensate for damage with gimmicks.
2. Detailed explanation of the optimal equipment and skill composition for twin swords
In order to stably subjugate Gogmazios with twin swords, it is essential to have a fire resistance of 23 or higher (nullified by fire) and dragon attribute specialization. The optimal equipment is a combination of the gigantic Artia twin swords “Eternal Kraukrais” and the 4 pieces of Gogmazios armor. For the weapon, upgrade Rare 8 Artia to a gigantic sword at the processing shop, and select the attribute intensification type (attribute +30-80, disadvantage – criticality -5% only). Use the restoration bonus to carefully select attribute enhancement EX x 2 and attack enhancement EX x 2, and aim for the group skill “Nushi's Soul” (Guts[Bravery]).
Main equipment configuration (for laps, production amulet OK)
- weapon: Eternal Kraucreis (Fire 460/Dragon Sub, Product Lv3, Concentration Lv3, Enhancement Continuation Lv3)
- head: Exol Smail γ (Skillful Attack Lv5)
- torso: Gogmail α (Giant Dragon's Apocalypse II: War Call II)
- arm: Regios Arm β (Continuous Attack Lv5)
- waist: Gog Coil α (Claw Dragon's Power I: Enhancement of Consecutive Attacks I)
- leg: Tunamul γ (Fire resistance Lv3/Evasion distance UP Lv2)
- Amulet: Attack Lv3/Challenger Lv1 (or business)
Total skills: Fire resistance Lv3 (disabled), continuous attack Lv5, skillful attack Lv5, challenger Lv5, counterattack Lv3, Taijutsu Lv5, Nushi's soul, declaration of war II (attribute UP when angry), water field / oil mud adaptation Lv1, earthquake resistance Lv2, hunter life Lv1. The firepower is over 600 when angry, and the critical hit rate is over 80%.
Prepare the dragon attribute Tiltkrys as a sub-weapon, and change it after confirming its softening. For meals, strengthen your luck and endurance with Kunafa (Meal Fortune Technique, Life Insurance, Defense Technique[Large]). Always keep the following items on hand: Demon Medicine Great x 3, Hardening Medicine Great x 2, Secret Medicine x 5, and Great Dust of Life x 3. With this equipment, you can achieve a solo win rate of over 95%. If you are not good at carefully selecting amulets, you can use Regios 4 parts base instead.
3. Essential environmental gimmicks and advanced utilization techniques
The outcome of the match against Gogmagios will be determined by the rate of gimmick utilization. Take advantage of the mobility of the twin swords and ride on Secreto (a small monster) to transport and fire. The main gimmicks are detailed below.
- Lava mouth (near area 1 left leg): Activated by explosives or firestone, deals 2050 damage x 4 times per hit. Guide Gogma Geos to the left leg and use the heat ray preparatory action to escape to higher ground and activate it. Gain 10% damage on multiple hits.
- Falling rocks (2 locations each in areas 1 and 2): Deals 4100 damage + down. The timing is guaranteed to hit after charging or at the start of flight.
- Convergence Dragon Cannon (Area 1 center): Connect 3 bundles to charge 100% and deal 67,650 damage. In my life as a hunter, I carry out high-speed hauls and aim for the back when I'm down.
- Small Haretsutsu (Area 2 High Ground): While flying, charge fire while riding Secret, dealing 500 wing leg/700 softening damage. Immediate pick-up with vertical rotation preparatory action.
- Old forging machine (area 2): Activate the lever to deal 8200 damage + down. Use immediately after suppression fails.
- large lump of coal: Deals 525 damage and follows up with a lift and roll.
As a technique, hide behind Fabius (Secret) and do a big move avoidance (70 seconds grace period). Suppression reduces the gauge with dragon attribute dance, and if successful, it becomes possible to guard. Use the twin swords of the Thousand-Blade Dragon's Fighting Spirit II to repeatedly do just evasion and increase the gimmick's accuracy to 100%. This allows you to replace half of the damage caused by moves with a gimmick.
4. Early stage area: Optimal opening route and perfect timing of lava and falling rocks
At the beginning, after collecting the Slinger species, he immediately dashes to the left leg. Induces softening with a fire dance and activates a lava mouth. The preliminary action (heat ray collection) is to avoid rolling to higher ground and take down the leg with a lava explosion. Next, activate the first falling rock, move to the back position and fire a series of attacks. Start charging Convergence Dragon Cannon before recovery from down. This route will accumulate 25% damage within the first 5 minutes and confirm the softened state.
The point to note is that the speed of expanded dragon bone oil is reduced, which can be nullified by applying to water areas and oil mud. Gogma Geos's right-turning breath evades backwards, and its left-turning lunge allows it to escape from the side. Use the dual sword sheathing technique to quickly use items, and use the rapid stamina recovery Lv2 to ensure the continuation of the wild dance. If you fail, don't reset with the Modori ball, try to restart the lava immediately.
5. Mid-high ground phase: Avoidance-oriented maneuvers and cooling measures
After moving to Area 2, prioritize attacking the right wing on the high ground. Cooling system environmental organisms are collected and materials are thrown to maintain softening. Prepare a small blasting dragon tube with a flight omen (wing tension) and shoot down with the second rockfall. Evade the vertical rotation attack by jumping at the edge of the high ground, and counter it with Kijinrenzan. In my life as a hunter, I aim to accelerate the transportation of bundles and recharge the Convergence Dragon Cannon. The damage target for this phase is 35% and aim for 0 hits.
When rehardening due to insufficient cooling, it returns to fire attribute and buys time by rolling coal. Perfect position keeping with dual sword runner/taijutsu.
6. Second half of the big technique phase: Successful suppression methods and small-sized Haryuzutsu hit techniques
After transitioning to the gas state, concentrate on the dragon attribute dance with a major preliminary move (full body stiffness for 70 seconds). Successfully complete the suppression gauge and pass unscathed with the guard. In case of failure, evacuate to the back of Fabius or directly below the hill. If you hold down the charge, the power of the small Haryuzutsu increases by 1.5 times, and a direct hit to the wing leg will deal 700 damage. Repeat the flight loop three times, racking up 50 Hitzones on your back each time you go down.
The trick to increasing the success rate of suppression is to use super firepower when activating a grudge. Ignore vibrations at Earthquake Resistance Lv2 and mass-produce continuous downs.
7. Final stage finish: The secret of destroying the tail and wings and performing wild dances
When HP is below 30%, priority will be given to destroying the tail (additional down damage will be triggered), and flight will be restricted by destroying the wings. Activate the old forging machine and use the falling rock to get the final knockdown. Finish with 3 consecutive wild dances (demon personification release pinch). An all-out attack is triggered by the BGM change (dying mode). Material collection will secure 24 giant sword mutation parts, mainly from the tail and back.
8. Summary of advanced tips and lap optimization for stable subjugation
Advanced Tips: Increase attributes when angry with Declaration of War II, and achieve invincibility evasion by maintaining Thousand Blades Evasion II. When multi-purpose, support is provided by widening the area. Optimizing the laps will increase the defense by strengthening Gog α equipment limit breakthrough, and confirm Nushi's soul with the giant sword arty resemara (re-draw before saving). As a general summary, we will achieve a 99% win rate with a distribution of 50% gimmicks, 30% steps, and 20% equipment. If you follow this guide, Gogmaggios will become a hunting ground for twin swords. Complete the strongest equipment by going around every day.
