Xeno'Jiiva tips

[Atomsk]

Even when the monster is pretty easy, I just wanna point some things that everyone should know. First, use the fireproof mantle (or whatever is called in english), that will solve the burning zones he leaves on the ground, and that mantle recharges pretty fast.

Second, his fireballs can be blocked, but not his lasers, but the lasers are always predictable, look for them and NEVER stay in front and far away from him (this goes for range weapons).

Third, his tail CAN'T BE CUT in the first half of the fight (before he flies away and you get tp to another area), I guess it is to prevent people to miss the tail if it's cut before he flies away, so even if you focus 100% on the tail on the first half, you will se AFTER the second zone the first hit u do (if u damaged it enough in the first half) will cut the tail. Cutting the tail is very important, not only it has 2 carves instead of 1 like any other tail, but it can only drop TWO items, tail or gem.

Feel free to post any other tips.

Not a tip but a question:

Can you actually break off both his horns? Or when his head breaks once and he's got one horn broken, is that all you can do?

I ask because my friends and I can always break one off easy but the other one just doesn't seem to ever break no matter how much face smashing he recieves.

Yeah, You can, but breaking parts from xeno jiva in MP is a different story :P

If I'm not wrong (from fighting him countless times here and on console too) it can only be broken once, once you see his eyes with cuts, dont worry about his head to break it anymore.

The things you can break (or cut) are: his head, both his front claws, his wings and tail.

I'm 90% sure the head can only be broken once, I will have to try focusing on his head for one fight and if it can be broken twice I will post it.

Biggest tip is use his pods all the time... piercing pods from head to tail do like 200+ damage. Bomb pods do 132 damage no matter where they hit. Thorn pods help trip and break parts.

Use them up before they vanish.

Dragon pods are good to knock him out the sky but the elder seal on them even on solo takes too long.

Focus front claws to trip and then chest every time hes tripped. Ignore head as it bobs and youll miss a lot.

His chest takes double damage focus it as much as you can.

Oh yes, as Hurricane just reminded me, hitting him while he's in mid air with your slinger (any ammo seems to work) staggers him. If you stagger him twice in mid air he'll fall to the ground.

I never 'constantly' farmed Xeno Jiva, all my kills are over time when I feel like doing one. I never really had muhc care for his set because to me it didnt look that great. XD

So I dont really know much about how many times his head is breakable, I just know his parts are much harder to break in MP then in solo, and there;s kills I seen only a paw break :P

To elaborate on this, I wouldn't use all his pods right away, just use them if there are extra to pick up. A few pod shots while he is flying postured up in the air will knock him down to the ground, giving some easy shots to the head or tail. Don't waste the pods when he is slumped in the air unless you just want to do more damage.

I break head tail and claws every fight. Wings not so much. Bow runs with dp are insane as you do so much damage but only really break face

Yeah, any piercing shot (pods, DP, BG pierce ammo, HBG bone special ammo) obliterates him. With my tobi HBG (to cut xeno tail) whenever I have the special ammo ready and I position well, I can deal between the piercing shots and the explosion 2000+ damage without any problem.

Don’t forget the 4 stalagtites in each corner of the first arena!
They deal huge damage and huge good stun effect for more to be applied
