USJ Blazing Azure Stars! Event Guide & Tips
This quest is manageable for high-rank hunters but can be tricky due to facing two monsters at once. Here are some key tips to help you complete it efficiently.
Preparation & Loadout
- Eat Before the Fight – Visit the Canteen to boost your stats. A meal with Elemental Resistance (Fire) and Attack Up will be beneficial.
- Bring the Right Mantles – The Fireproof Mantle helps against Azure Rathalos’s fire attacks. A Ghillie Mantle or Temporal Mantle can also help you reposition safely.
- Stock Up on Consumables:
- Cold Drinks – The fight takes place in hot areas of Elder’s Recess.
- Flash Pods & Flashbugs – Great for grounding Azure Rathalos when it flies.
- Nullberries – To remove Fireblight from Azure Rathalos’s attacks.
Combat Tips
- Focus on Dodogama First – Take it out quickly so you don’t have to deal with both monsters at once.
- Use Flash Pods to Control Azure Rathalos – Flashing it mid-air will ground it, making it much easier to fight.
- Watch Out for Azure Rathalos’s Fireballs – They deal high damage and can inflict Fireblight, so always have Nullberries ready.
- Team Up for an Easier Fight – If you’re struggling, join an SOS Flare or play with friends to make the hunt smoother.
By following these strategies, you’ll make quick work of both monsters and earn the Azure Stargems needed for the event armor.
