Rompopolo Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo's unique attacks utilize its gas-filled, saggy skin. Be prepared for explosions and poison. Carry Antidotes, and remember your Palico can help alleviate status ailments.

Key attacks to watch out for include:

• Arm Swipe: A double swipe easily dodged due to its short range.
• Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe; requires precise timing to avoid.
• Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
• Poison Stream or Swipe: Rompopolo sprays poison gas, either as a stream or while charging.
• Oil Explosion: Rompopolo uses its tail to ignite oil pools, causing explosions beneath you. Dodge!
• Charged Oil Explosion: A larger, more damaging explosion later in the fight. Dodge!

Should You Kill or Capture Rompopolo?

Choose to kill or capture Rompopolo. To capture, weaken it until your Palico notes its exhaustion, then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps followed by at least one Tranq Bomb.

Both methods yield rewards, though some items are exclusive to capture or kill.
