Nightshade Paolumu

[Limamufu]

This fight was so annoying that I spent 30 seconds of the timer hitting his dead body on the ground.
Before the "Get sleep resistance" comments, It was my first try... I didn't know that he spent almost the entire fight flying and spitting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in every single place.

EDIT: Fighting him was more annoying than Viper Kadachi

you could have ran away, went to camp and get the immunity mantle, or some flash pods, for the record.

never be afraid to retreat to get what you need, you have 50 minutes afterall

Just beat Sniper Pukei Pukei. Despite that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ range, you can have some fun fighting him.

Here, breathe in this cyanide gas.

I dunno, my experience with him was hilarious, we were all making gas related jokes, getting sleeped and hitting each other, laughing as things showed up and got gassed in turn, etc. At one point Velkana showed up to do some damage, but ended up being slept, then Nightshade Paolumu ran off and we followed it, Velkhana woke up and just left the locale immediately etc.

His major annoyance is his reluctance to land, for sure, but there are ways of dealing with that so it's a meh problem at best.

Bring energy drinks. Profit? Profit.

Fighting it without preparation is asking for bed time fun.

Negate sleep with jewels and the fight becomes a joke.

It is a good lesson in preparation for new hunters.

With the name I thought he would be poison based.

Its dumb you can't change gems. Haha you didn't read cheater guide your bad at the game. To be fair for nightshade paoluma tells you in the quest description, tbh the gimmicks are dumb, I fought the blast goo guy with no blast blight protection. It doesn't matter how much damage you take it just matter you don't die. I just clutched it out and lived, but tbh it would of been better just to quit right when I saw he had blast blight. Basically it is a pointless ability unless you must fight a bunch of monsters in a row. its too easy to counter.

its like the game its telling you to use resistence decos instead of going "sheep meta", WOW !!

also its sleep one the minor status you can get and super easy to avoid, but remminds me when meta sheeps were cryng about arch-tempered Kushala and Vaal.

That's why if I don't have sleep resistance, I pack the energy drinks. At least that way there's one way to combat it.

I craft every status negate charms before start Iceborne so when I first meet new monster I can just farcaster to camp and equip charm and then come back to capture them because I need to capture for arena quest. Also recomment to make loadout for every element so you don't need to use nullberry everytime you get hit.
