How do you kill Vaal Hazak?

[Talesin]

I need some constructive suggestions here as he has proven infinite harder than any monster i've so far faced.

And please no dumb suggestions about farming for 100 hours and hope you get a miasma gem to drop.
I need suggestions that actually helps and is not based on luck.

[Singrave]

Oo

It's not harder than Nergigante, even easier.
You don't need miasma gem, you need hornetaur chestplate.
And Nergigante weapon you play.

[paul32]

You dont really need specific parts in my opioion.
You need ... the berries to counter his miasma and some ancient/max potions to get your health back. Always try to stay on his back, so you dont get hit by his miasma kamehameha. And if you have a elder seal weapon you can even stop his miasma.

[Zecendia]

Just pack a full stack of nulberries,potions,honey,and mega potions since most of the fight just has the problem of consistently keeping up your health

You do not need hornetaur chestplate just use nullberries if you do get hit by his debuff outside of that ez pz

[Volbia]

effluvia expert helps a lot, you can get it from the Girros Coil (Girros Belt). carry plenty of nulberries otherwise and go for that defense food.

You stab it until it doesnt move anymore and bring a lot of medical equipment

Smack him in the face, and don't get hit.

[SappFire]

Walk out for a bit when your chest have brown smoke. It will save you a lot of pots

[DarkFenix]

Asks for advice on Vaal Hazak, immediately preemptively dismisses the most sensible suggestion. Yeah, here's a guy who wants to whine, not get assistance.

So. Here's how you beat Vaal Hazak: Hit him. Repeatedly.

[Sid Longwei]

There's a couple spikes in the acid area, area closer to his nest, that can be dropped on him to help the fight.

[Andante]

he has some of the easiest tells in the game imo.

Him sucking in air and standing on 2 legs = cloud aoe attack, you get a couple of hits in and then gtfo.

Him sucking in air while still hunched over = breath attack, you go ham on him during this time.

Him pulling back = he's gonna charge, you gtfo of his way.

Him swaying to the side = he's gonna shoulder check you or he is gonna swing his tail so get ready to dodge.

Also sometimes he jumps backwards and walk forwards to bite a few times, all and all a fairly easy boss if you watch the tells.

[Kashra Fall]

Hit em in the chest to break the strain of constant flow of gas. If you break that part (the dragon will fall.) and the gas will disperse. The dragon can still use a stream attack (Which it won't if you're close.) or a close range gas dispersion (Long start up time and heavy knock back.) both are dodgable. Bigges tproblem is the chest though. Take that out and the fight becomes easier than a jagras fight.

[SolidusPrime]

We use nullberries and just rush him. Maybe you would define that as luck, but that's what we do and it seems to work :P

Under and behind seem to be the safest places to me.

[Baklavah]

If you have Effluvia Expert, then you can at least deal with the DoT. Without 3 Miasma jewels, there's no negating his half-hp debuff. Once you have both? He's a joke.

I always hit him from the back, then lose 90% health from miasma.
And obviously using high dragonseal weapon, though it doesn't seem to have any effect.
