Combat Tactics for Ruiner Nergigante

The Ruiner Nergigante is the stronger and more ferocious version of the standard Nergigante. It shares a lot of its combat moves, speed, and behavior with the original, as well as having the ability to heal itself and resist damage as the fight wears on. As you first encounter the Ruiner Nergigante, you will immediately notice the white spikes that have formed on its limbs. At this state, these are its weakest points and you should aim for them. You can see it covering their body so you can practically aim any part at the start.

Make sure that you are using a Dragon-based ailment Weapon to deal the most damage, followed by the Thunder. Preferably, you can use either Blunt or Ammo damage when going for the head. This will soften up the spikes and weaken it. Always pay attention to the spikes of the Ruiner Nergigante. This would indicate the threat level and how dangerous the fight is becoming.

As you notice the spikes turn a different color, either black or metallic, the Ruiner Nergigante will start doing a Nose Dive attack. This is extremely dangerous and can cart players if it lands on your directly. Be ready to do an Emergency Dive if you think you will not make it to a safe zone. Ideally, you would want to equip the Rocksteady Mantle, or the Temporal Mantleto boost your chances of surviving the attacks. You can even have both ready for that extra insurance.

Lastly, try not to take on the fight against a Ruiner Nergigante head on. Be patient and keep an eye out for openings. Take out the spikes first while it's breakable and then focus next on the Head and Forearms. This will tenderize the body parts and will allow you to deal the most damage later on.
