Key Attacks

Body Slam - If the Plesioth turns side on then rams its whole body towards the Hunter. This attack has a massive danger zone.

Slither - The Plesioth lays itself on the ground and then slides forward. This is also used to return to the water, so make sure you’ve rolled away in advance.

Water Stream - The Plesioth opens its fin and lowers its head launching a massive burst of water at the hunter (this is also used from the water if a hunter remains on the shore). when underwater this stream can be fired in a sweeping motion.

Backflip - A favourite of the Plesioth when it is underwater, it flicks its tail upwards at the Hunter while doing a backflip. You can see this attack early as the Plesioth moves its tail into position, so try and move early.

Recommended Strategy

As with other Wyverns it’s a good idea to get under the Green Plesioth and attack its legs, but always move away because the Green Plesioth has a number of attacks that can easily wipe you away from such a position. Simply move close, hit him a few times and then roll away.

As long as you stay in close proximity to the Green Plesioth then his projectile attacks won’t be a problem, so try and give chase if he moves away and especially if he dives into the water.

When submerged the Green Plesioth shows its most significant difference; its water beam can be fired in a sweeping motion. As such you’ll want to stay both abreast and elevated of the Plesioth, approaching from an elevated side-on angle so that his Water Beams don’t catch you completely off guard.

As with all water monsters the Green Plesioth becomes fast underwater, so movement and cautious attacks become paramount.
