To encounter Magnamalo in the wild, you first need to defeat it during an emergency mission within Season 3’s narrative. This battle requires you to take on Magnamalo solo.

In “Monster Hunter Now,” this monster is significantly more robust than most of its counterparts. It’s advisable to target specific body parts for breakage, as this will stun Magnamalo for an extended period, giving you a chance to land some attacks. While it has a weakness towards water, the Hunter Guide also suggests that thunder-based attacks can be effective against the body parts that are surrounded by hellfire – the purple aura seen on Magnamalo’s limbs.

As a seasoned gamer, I’ve found that mastering the art of timing my dodges is key when battling Magnamalo. The swift slashes and jumps may seem routine at first, but don’t let your guard down. The crucial aspect to watch out for is Magnamalo’s menacing tail. When it starts lashing around wildly, brace yourself for a devastating laser attack that spans the entire screen. A slower sway of the tail signals an impending rain of hellfire-infused fireballs, so be sure to dodge strategically to steer clear of the Hellfire blight status ailment, which can escalate your damage if left unchecked. Attempting to break its tail for valuable monster materials is advisable only when you’re hunting in a group.
