Where to find the Ravenous Mountain King Yumkasaurus

There are no additional requirements to unlock access to this boss, so in fact you can get to him right after completing the Archons' quest "Song of the Dragon and Freedom". However, we still advise you to start with Natlan quest chain.

So, first of all, get to Natlan by teleporting to the opened teleport west of the Hadramawet Desert. Then get to or teleport to the waypoint near the river, shown on the map above. You will see a crevice ahead - glide into it. Once you get to the bottom of the gorge, continue moving west, jumping off the waterfall.

You will find yourself in a spacious cave. Continue flying westward, reaching a teleporter. Ahead and below you will see an arena where a giant Yumkasaurus will be peacefully sleeping.

Respawn of the Ravenous Mountain King Yumkasaurus

After you deal with this boss, it will regenerate almost instantly - you need to teleport to another area or re-enter the game for the huge Saurian to re-spawn. Also remember that you will have to spend 40 units to collect the rewards from it Original resin.

Characteristics of the Voracious Mountain King Yumkasaurus

Even in its normal state, this enemy has 70% resistance to Dendro elements , but its resistance to other types of damage (including physical) is only 10%. This imposes certain restrictions on the selection of characters to fight this enemy.

If we talk about the combat parameters of this special Yumkasaurus, it has impressive health indicators, but at the same time its attack power is comparable to similar values ​​of the Monstrous Baptist or Setekh Wenut. For example, at level 90, its base HP is 1 million units (the worm has 519 thousand), and ATK is 15.9 thousand units (the Baptist has 15.2 thousand). You can see all the enemy's characteristics in the image below (2P, 3P and 4P show the parameters when playing in a co-op).

Tips for choosing heroes

Considering the boss's large health bar and average attack power, we advise you to focus on the striking capabilities of your squad, i.e. do not take more than one shielder/healer or try to do without such characters at all.

Primary damage dealers can be of any element except Dendro. However, we recommend that you always take at least one Pyro character who can quickly deal fire damage if needed to set off the Flame Grenades (more on that below).

As for secondary damage dealers and supports, they can be of any element, since the task of the former is to create the necessary reactions, and the latter - to increase the elemental damage of damage dealers. Therefore, you can easily take, for example, Baizhu, Emilia or Nahida in the squad. The list of all suitable heroes is shown in the picture below.

Optimal teams

In the table below we have shown the optimal teams with Pyro damagers, however, the presence of fire characters is not at all necessary, so you can take a team of any of your other pumped characters (the main thing is that the main DD does not belong to the Dendro element).

Attacks and Movements of the Ravenous Mountain King Yumkasaurus

Spit

The boss spits out a single poisonous projectile at the hero, dealing damage to Dendro in a small area.

Stomp

The boss raises one of its legs high and then stomps it, dealing damage to Dendro in a small area, sometimes followed immediately by a tail slam.

Tail Whip

The boss turns its back to the player, then rolls and performs a powerful tail slam on the ground, dealing area damage to Dendro.

Jump kick

The boss uses its tongue to jump up, hover above the player, and then fall on them, dealing damage to Dendro in a small area.

Swinging and falling

The boss uses its tongue to swing and fall onto the player from a great height, causing two expanding shockwaves at once that deal significant damage to Dendro.

Rotation on the stomach

The boss begins to spin on its stomach, moving towards the player and repeatedly inflicting Dendro damage on impact. Subsequent hits deal less damage than the previous ones.

Spitting flame grenades

The boss can summon 1 or 3 flame grenades that will fall in front of him. If he swallows them, he will launch a single fireball at the player in the first case, and in the second case, he will release 2 fireballs and then shoot a powerful fire beam. All of these attacks deal damage to Pyro.

While the flame grenades are on the ground, you can try to set them on fire with Pyro attacks. If Kongamato swallows 1-2 ignited fruits, he will take significant damage, and if you manage to force him to eat all 3 fruits, he will also be paralyzed for a while, allowing you to hit him without hindrance.

How to defeat the Ravenous Mountain King Yumkasaurus

Preparing for battle

Before the battle begins, you can eat dishes that increase attack power, critical damage, and critical hit chance. It would be a good idea to drink potions that increase certain elemental damage to strengthen your damage dealers. In this case, the following will be useful:

• Streaming Essential Oil – Increases Hydro damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Flaming Essential Oil – Increases Pyro damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Frosting Essential Oil – Increases Cryo damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Shocking Essential Oil – Increases Electro damage by 25% for 5 minutes.
• Unmoving Essential Oil – Increases Geo damage by 25% for 5 minutes.

The boss also mainly deals Dendro and Pyro damage, so we recommend you take Heatshield Potion and Dendrocide Potion, which increase resistance to Pyro and Dendro damage respectively by 25% for 300 seconds.

Combat strategy

In fact, everything is quite simple here - at the beginning of the fight, you need to start attacking the boss, trying not to get hit by his attacks. We advise you to stay close to him so that he does not use spitting and jumping attacks. Stomp, tail attack and spin are quite easy to dodge, especially if you stay behind the enemy.

If you have a Pyro character in your party, try to always keep his skills ready. The thing is, at a certain point, the Mountain King will shake out 1 or 3 flame grenades (blue fruits). At that moment, switch to the Pyro hero and use his fire attacks on the fruits.

Each ignited fruit will cause significant damage to the enemy, and if he swallows all 3, he will be stunned for a while, so you can attack him with impunity. If he manages to eat regular fruits, he will then be able to release fireballs and a laser beam at you, causing huge Pyro damage.
