Garangolm is a new Fanged Beast that has made its debut in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and is one of the “Three Lords” of Elgado, alongside Malzeno and Lunagaron. This colossal titan is known for its slow but incredibly powerful attacks, which it uses to pulverize Hunters into the ground.

As the first major fight in Sunbreak, Hunters will need to learn Garangolm’s weakness if they wish to make short work of this monolithic monster and claim a dominant victory. 

So, if you’re struggling to kill this Fanged Beast or simply want to know more about Garangolm’s weapons and armor set, then our handy hub has you covered.

Garangolm weakness Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Hunters fighting Garangolm in Monster Hunter Rise: SunbreakCapcom
Garangolm has a number of elemental weaknesses.

Garangolm is weak against Blast, Thunder, and Fire-type weapons and ammo types. This means hunters should take weapons with the above elements to inflict as much damage as possible during the fight. 

Whenever Garangolm reinforces its arms, we recommend focusing your attacks on Garangolm’s these body parts. Once you’ve done enough damage, the element on its arms will shatter, and Garangolm will topple over.

This will give you a few seconds to focus your attacks on its head, tail, and legs, which can be broken for extra rewards. Simply rinse and repeat this method for an easy kill.
