How to beat Amatsu

Amatsu is a large-target fight where part access and timing matter more than chasing the nearest hitbox. Dragon damage is the best first route in the local data. Use Head pressure when the monster settles, then move to Back or Tail routes only when the material target makes that detour worth it.

  • Large body movement can make weak spots inconsistent, so use weapons that can reposition quickly or hit elevated parts safely.
  • Head breaks are the best general farming anchor. Tail severing is a separate route and should be planned from the start.
  • When the fight shifts into bigger arena pressure, prioritize survival and re-entry timing before committing to long attacks.

Farming plan: For Heavenly Dragonsphire, combine target rewards, body carves, severing chances, Head or Back breaks, and dropped materials. For Stormtail, focus on Tail severing and avoid wasting time on unrelated breaks.
