MHW Iceborne: With this info you will defeat Yian Garuga

First, it is important to know Yian Garuga's weaknesses:

• The birdwyvern is really sensitive to water. Dragon damage is also a possibility with two stars. Ice brings little with one star.
• In terms of status weaknesses, explosion damage has three stars. Thunder and Stun each have two stars, Poison and Sleep only one.
• On the other hand, Yian Garuga is immune to Thunder and Fire.

In turn, a look at the monster's skills and habits:

• Yian Garuga attacks with Fire and Poison. Fire resistance is therefore helpful, as well as poison antidotes.
• Watch out for the various tail attacks, as they can poison you. Fire spits Yian Garuga from the mouth. The tail is detachable and just like the head is a weak point.
• If Yian Garuga rises vertically into the air from a standing position, you should not be exactly below it, as a vertical attack to the ground follows.
• Generally, Yian Garuga is fast and furious on the move. If you get pressured, a cloak will help you heal and regain the upper hand.

After all, since Yian Garuga is not a dragon elder, you can catch him, which will shorten the hunt considerably.
