Jyuratodus Characteristics

Jyuratodus is a large Piscine Wyvern that thrives in swampy areas. It coats itself in mud, using it as armor and a weapon to trap prey. Jyuratodus is highly territorial and is known to clash with Barroth over hunting grounds.

Useful Information

• Fighting Jyuratodus in water is difficult due to limited mobility.
• Try to lure it onto land where it becomes easier to handle.
• Its mud armor reduces damage, but using Water element attacks or your Slinger can strip it off faster.

Jyuratodus Fight Guide

Main Mechanics

• Mud Armor: Jyuratodus covers itself in mud for extra defense.
  • While covered in mud:
    • Water element becomes super effective.
    • Thunder element is ineffective.
  • How to remove the mud:
    • Hit Jyuratodus with Water element attacks.
    • Use Slinger ammo to chip away at the coating.
    • Wait—it will eventually fall off over time.
• Mud Traps: Jyuratodus spreads mud across the battlefield using:
  • Mud Spit (large or small blobs)
  • Tail Whip (leaves mud behind)
  • Falling Mud (from its own body during the fight)
  • If caught in mud, roll repeatedly to escape.
• Waterblight (Status Effect):
  • Reduces stamina recovery speed.
  • Denoted by a water droplet icon above your health bar.
  • Use a Nulberry to cure the effect.

Jyuratodus Attacks

Fight Tips & Strategy

1. Lure Jyuratodus Onto Land
   • Fighting it in water is difficult due to limited mobility.
   • Coax it onto dry ground where it has fewer attack options.
2. Bring Water or Thunder Weapons
   • Use Water weapons to strip the mud armor quickly.
   • Use Thunder weapons when Jyuratodus isn’t covered in mud.
3. Stock Up on Nullberries
   • Waterblight slows down stamina recovery—bring Nullberries to counteract this.
4. Clear Out Gajau First
   • Gajau (small monsters) can interrupt your fight—take them out before engaging Jyuratodus.
5. Attack During Mud Coating Animation
   • Jyuratodus will pause to recoat itself in mud—attack during this vulnerable moment for a free stagger.
6. Stagger It with Head Hits
   • Jyuratodus is very easy to stagger.
   • Land charged attacks on its head to interrupt its attacks.
7. Use SOS If Needed
   • If you’re struggling, send an SOS flare to summon help from the MHW community.
