Viper Tobi-Kadachi weaknesses and resistances
Lots of different parts of the Viper Tobi-Kadachi are breakable, but you won’t be able to sever that tail. This is a shame as the majority of attacks that you need to worry about come from said tail. Stick to the front of the beast where possible. Melee weapons are better at dealing damage to Tobi-Kadachi than the ranged weapons, but they do some with significant risk of being affected by a status ailment. Speaking of ailments, you do not want to bring any weapons with status ailments as they will not last long enough for you to properly use them. While it is possible to capture Tobi-Kadachi with the shock trap/tranquiliser bomb combination, the stun window is very short. Most elements don’t do much against the Viper Tobi-Kadachi. However, in a twist of irony since it uses paralysis and its cousin has electric attacks, it is weak to Thunder. Ice can also do in a pinch, but Thunder is the main element you’ll want to use against it.
How to hunt Viper Tobi-Kadachi
Stamina management is the key to winning the fight against the Viper Tobi-Kadachi. You’ll need to ensure that you aren’t caught by any of its attacks as the fight can quickly go downhill after gaining a status ailment. It can inflict a fast-acting poison, paralysis, and bleed with its attacks, though never all at the same time. It’s worth noting that being hit twice by its many poison attacks will intensify the effects, reducing health quickly. Having a deadly poison effect at low health is essentially a lost life, since the venom will sap remaining health away before you can drink an antidote. If you want to avoid poison altogether, consider bringing Poison Resistance decorations to reach level 3, as this will negate its poison attacks.
How to avoid Viper Tobi-Kadachi’s attacks
Viper Tobi-Kadachi will nearly always attack first by swiping its tail, releasing quills filled with venom. Viper Tobi-Kadachi has multiple airborne attacks and the safest way to avoid both is just to run away from it, diving to the ground at the last possible moment. It’s just easier to back off as the tail slam can inflict poison. If it ever bears its fangs and drools, it’s going to try and lunge, biting you along the way. If you are caught by this bite, you’ll be paralysed and set up for a free hit, so make sure you dodge to the side it is not looking at before it bites. It’ll bite twice, so be ready for the followup attack. If it raising its claws, it’s going to try and swipe you. This inflicts bleed, so to get rid of the bleed, back off from the fight, put your weapon away, and crouch. It’s a little harder to dodge than the bite, but it’s still possible to get out of the way. There are a few other things to watch out for in this fight, so here are a few more tips:
If you ever feel overwhelmed, just retreat for a short time as you can get your bearings and find a window of opportunity. It’s also a lot easier to dodge the quills from afar than up close. Viper Tobi-Kadachi will have Turf Wars with the Anjanath family. This is mostly relevant when you first face it as Fulgur Anjanath absolutely wrecks the Tobi-Kadachi, slamming it to the ground. Its attacks become quicker when it is enraged, so focus more on dodging while it’s annoyed at you, rather than getting cheeky hits in. There are a lot of toads in the areas surrounding Viper Tobi-Kadachi. Sleep toads can provide a bit of breaking room if the Viper Tobi-Kadachi breaths in the sleep cloud.
