Is it even possible to break kushala's horns?

[Sir Teddy The Brave]

So i've been doing several investigations in a row now and have not managed to break her face a single time. It's come to the point where i started using a mod so i can check her health on my last run and on the last 20% i started using a hammer with partbreaker 3 and exclusively used claw attack on her face just to be 100% sure and it still didn't break. Course i also used bombs when she went to sleep. Is there some hidden mechanic or anything special you need to do to break her horns? I'm kinda getting desperate here. So far i've only gotten 2 horns, 1 from a carve and 1 from investigation reward.

It is possible, it's just got the highest part health on kusha. It requires FIVE head staggers to break and they won't break until sub 30% health or so.

Edit: Probably sub 20%

I have done it before with Hammer in investigations and with CB in the GL.

You can break Kushalas head once, I believe. Usually leads to a knockdown and is very commonly the only part that ever gets broken on him in most fights, because the tail sucks to cut and the wings are pretty much ineffective against most weapons I think. I think?

I know Teostra has a mechanic of sorts where his horns just won't break until he's very low health, making it a very useful gauge for when he's about dead. Not sure if it's the same for other Elder Dragons like Kushala though. If you've done a lot of damage to the rest of Kushala without focusing down the head so much, that may be why you're not seeing a break?

If you're having trouble, try Partbreaker 3.

Desire sensor will mess with you. The hell of trying to farm for Vaal Hazak fangs still rings true in my mind, and that was back on the PS4. Ugh.

Hey if you want more rewards remember to capture it!

its hard to break, like lunastra or gold rathian parts

Generally if you wanna break specific parts it will be much easier to do it solo. You get to funnel all the damage to that specific spot and the damage required for breaks will be lower.

As i mentioned i am using partbreaker 3, and i don't think you can capture an elder dragon.

Had no problem breaking parts with either one of those, kushala is seriously the only one.

I am solo'ing, hardly ever play with others. And like i said i've used only claw attacks on his face with a hammer and partbreaker 3 so i would've imagined that would do the trick.

Just spam investigations for box rewards like you're doing, going for head breaks is a massive chore on Daora.

Again: Five staggers.

Base head stagger is 300, horns have a base part health of 1500.

Just gotta get that last stagger in when its health is below 20%.

You sure did, and I totally overlooked that. My bad.

Well I had this problem too so you're definitely not alone, I had to learn how to make sure every single one of my hits really land on the head and not other places (when he's down hammer pounds tend to hit his front legs sometimes so u gotta be real careful) and then and only then did I start to be able to consistently break his horns. Good luck!
