However, the best hunters always go into them fully prepared, whether that\u2019s with the right weapon, knowledge, or food. This is entirely the case for the challenging Kingtusk, the first monster you come up against in Wild Hearts. Luckily, to help you get through that tricky fight, there are a few tips and tricks. We\u2019ve put together everything you need to know about defeating the Kingtusk including its weaknesses and the best weapons and armor for you to try out. Contents Kingtusk weaknesses – Best armor for the Kingtusk – Best weapons to use on the Kingtusk – How to defeat the Kingtusk – Kingtusk weaknesses Fire The Kingtusk is especially weak to fire, meaning if you\u2019ve unlocked the torch Karakuri then place it down and deal some fantastic fire damage to this creature whenever you can. Headshots Sure, the Kingtusks large body is ideal for players to hit, but its true weak spot is right on its head. Aim for there, preferably with fire and you\u2019ll be taking down this Kemono quicker than ever. Slashing and Piercing weapons To help deal even more damage, try combining the headshots and fire with your slashing and piercing weapons. These include the Karakuri Katana, Nodachi, and the bow. Best armor to use on the Kingtusk With the notion being that you\u2019ll be relatively new to the game when first fighting the Kingtusk, you\u2019ll only have a choice of three armor sets. The best armor you can put on for the first Kingtusk is the Young Samurai set. The Kingtusk deals brute damage over anything particularly elemental so you\u2019re better off going for direct protection instead. However, it\u2019s worth seeing what works best for you and not being afraid to hunt a few different creatures to gain some handy resources, skills, and perhaps some new armor. Best weapon for the Kingtusk As previously mentioned, one of the Kingtusks\u2019 weaknesses is Slashing and Piercing weapons. With that and the sheer size of this Kemono in mind, we recommend using the Bow. While not extremely high in damage, it has the versatility and distance to keep you safe, while still dealing huge damage on those vital weak spots. How to defeat the Kingtusk in Wild Hearts It\u2019s no secret that the Kingtusk is the first challenge many come up against in Wild Hearts, so you need to approach the fight carefully, preferably with friends or other hunters. When getting into the battle, your Bulwark Karakuri is the best defense you\u2019ll have. Whenever you see the Kingtusk begin to charge, by lowering its head and pawing the ground, quickly build a Bulwark and you\u2019ll be safe from its attack. Then, while fighting, try to aim for its weak spots that are located on the blue markers around its body. Ripping this out will hurt it considerably and increase your thread storage, ideal for more protection and agility. Using a bow on its weak spots or even fire will help combine all its weaknesses and really take this beast down quickly. However, while going on the offense is the only real way you\u2019ll be able to do damage, the Kingtusk has extremely high health, meaning dodging is a must. The main tip to defeating the Kingtusk in Wild Hearts is to be patient. Attack when there\u2019s an opening and dodge as much as you can or it\u2019ll quickly send you back to your camp. Lastly, before getting into any battle, be sure to eat some food. This will help you boost some handy stats without needing to work too hard. By following these tips, you should find the Kingtusk to be a little easier than before, although it will still be a challenge, after all, it is still a boss.
