Fun fight, really enjoyed trying to figure out the best way to fight it. Failed ideas included
- Concertina traps/arrows
- Liquid Fire/Poison cloud
- Electric Lamp to blind it or lure it out
- Flair to blind it or lure it out
- Different water tactics for melee damage

If you have any other failed or successful ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Haven't gone against it yet, but I thought the new green dynamite stick was the way to get it.

I mean two waxed dynamite sticks turned her into a fine red mist

Im trying to keep it quiet, but the duel wax is a good call

Take one step into the water, shoot the bubbly water, step out, repeat.
Easy cheese. Honestly a bit disappointed the croc can't at least come out of the water a bit.

Honestly it was ♥♥♥♥, the alligator just sits there waiting to be hit, when it disappears and appears you get 3 whole seconds to react. Gators are ambush predators but the game does everything to tell you exactly where it is. and it just appears and stands still most of the time.

I wish they just added gators on the map everywhere to act similarly but more threatening than devilfish.

OMG, our party screamed the first fight with rot-jaw, was awesome! Second fight we were thied partied by two different duo's (4 enemy hunters), excitement level 100. If they tweek it just abit to come on land for about 5 seconds, it would become a man mangler, lol. Good times.

Imagine if they eventually put it into standard contract on wide open day map? OMG, you would have to be super duper careful. Cant wait. Level 100 challenge, me and my group, would accept that adversity. Love the highs and lows of hunt.

its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke, it isn't even a threat in the slightest

I mean she hits harder than like any boss in the game, and leaves you with like one health chunk in one hit- in the middle of an open field where other people might run along and open fire on you, and you have almost no cover.

She is less of a threat overall than a normal boss, but it's not a normal boss, it's like half-a-boss which is the point. So I mean that seems to be about what it should be.

best way to kill him imo is to throw dynamite at him before he goes into the water. he sits on land in a bush before the fight starts.

Also bomblance you can just walk into the water and like 4 or 5 shot her with melee in one go faster than you can even cook and hit her with one dynamite stick. So that is the fastest way overall.

The waxed bomblance charge isn't even as fast funnily enough.

go in water with a hammer and the mariner perk and can solo without worry. wish she was a bit harder. and she seems kinda small

Anyone tried the big dynamite bundle while she's resting? Insta-kill?
I haven't tried yet, was just coming to my mind...

Edit: Is the fuse probably turning off because of the rain? I can't remember what they have told in the stream... sry ^^

Annoying AF
Hunting rotjaw is awesome, you actually hunt him. Then there's a showdown at where he is. That's the name of the game. Hunt: Showdown.
