Shrieking Legiana (help and rant)

[D-Jak]

As if the normal one wasn't annoying enough, they now made this stupid thing.

How I am supposed to fight it solo, when it almost never touches the ground? I play Dualblades and it was the most annoying hunt so far I had in the game, literally. I was close to punching my monitor. I love the game and soloed almost all monsters at least once with great fun. But this just sucks.

In the end I killed it, but I am still so annoyed and angry at that ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'd love some help next time to obliterate it as a revenge.

How do I fight flying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ almodt never touching the ground? All the other flying monsters still give you attack windows.

Flash pods not really working, in the end I was just grappling all the time, trying to blast it in the wall so I can do some damage. Really horrible game design in my opinion. Or I just suck.

Poison will help indefinitely as it will stop sometimes to spit out the poison

This is the part where you have to learn to integrate the clutch claw into your moves.
As a hammer main I like the claw cuz I can reach flying mons easier now (and kirins head) , I hear other weapons don't dig it so much.

Try using shock and pitfall traps to maximize your damage on the ground too but using them repeatedly has diminishing returns.

I found this speedrun video that used the impact mantle to land a cheeky KO while trapping the monster. The dude also got lucky when the Gajalakas helped him too. You don't really need to copy the exact speedrun but just incorporate some things like the impact mantle on DB. You prolly don't even need the exact build he has since you're not really speedrunning but traps with Impact Mantle is something that can work for all weapons I guess to get chain CCs.

I'm a GS main so I just power through with raw damage hahaha.

Just try watching some speedruns and see if you can pick up a new move or two from them.

poison all the way, try the rath dual blades, they do half poison and half fire.

and as a DB main, i agree this guy is annoying, but poison mitigates him a lot.
also barioth is worse IMO.

Fair enough. But you suck for just writing this instead of giving some helpful tips; why do you think I am asking?

And I did beat the thing on my first try, but I don't want to keep running after it again for 40 minutes next time I encounter it.

He should write a book

Yeah just don't write such posts here. You'll just get a bunch of "Git gud" comments by dudes who have thousands of ingame hours.

LOL. Super underrated comment.

But yeah, Shrieking is an annoying af fight. Just beat it once however you can and never fight it again since it doesn't drop anything remotely useful.

Hey, maybe you could show us how good you are playing this game, git gut boy...

[LordShoe]

I have currently fought it and beat it once and I will never fight it again. Ever.

Any enemy that is flying is a pain to fight with most melee weapons, but they're not unkillable at all.

Try to make sure you wallbang them twice between enrages if you can. It's nice damage and also an opening. Also, while in MR it's often much harder, do try to break those wings when they are down and remember flashpods. Even if they build resistance from time to time you can drop them down with it.

If you don't have a way to get them on the ground at times than hit whatever you can. The dangling tail or their feet. While not big targets, nor weak points at times, you can still put in some damage. Better than just running around waiting for them to land.

Use traps often. When they are on the ground try to extend their stay. Put a trap on them as they try to get up from a KO or drop them straight on one when you flash them.
Did I mention to break their wings? Well... break their wings.
