Any tips for soloing Vol Dragon as a hunter?

[Fafnir]

Level 12 hunter trying to do Ozha's quest, I've gotten him close to dying (At least, I think I have, I've gotten well past the point where he starts summoning baby dragons), but I eventually just end up running out of mates.

I've essentially just been slugging away at his feet with a sword, but it's obviously not doing much damage (what with the fight taking over 20 minutes before I go down).

Any suggestions? I know he has a weak point on his head, but I don't like the idea of risking getting in the face of all of his strongest attacks. I know he has a weak point on his tail, but he keeps moving around, and having to be in the air to hit him makes it not exactly reliable. I think he has a weak point on his back, but I have no clue how I would hit that as a hunter.

basically, as you said, the tail and his horns are vol dragon's weakpoints. it's best to just focus on those.

i honestly have no trouble jumping to hit vol dragon's tail, but if you do, try switching to gun mode on a gunblade + lockon mode and whack at him that way. his attacks are predictable enough to know when you should hit and dodge.

To be honest, Vol Dragon is tougher than Dark Ragne. I held off on doing the "solo Vol Dragon with Ozha" until I was in my 20s.

As you noted, the weak points are his face and tail, both of which are either dangerous or hard to hit. You can however attack from his side at his face, if that helps.

Go for horn damage with jump attacks. If you have Just Guard, you won't have to dodge anything which means more time spent attacking.

Rave Trick with the Partisan is pretty amazing for cracking his tail and horns. Every time he jumps backwards he'll shoot a fireball when he lands, so just chase him and Rave Trick the tail while he's inactive.

I currently managed to kill the damn lizard by myself, but I had to focus on hitting the legs mostly.

I gotta be too used to the Force dodging, because for the life of me I NEVER manage to dodge attacks, in the way of using the short invincibility span to avoid attacks. If I gotta go out of an attacks way that's fine, but when I'm on the guy's face and he decides to do a tail spin and I can't go out of the range in time, I always get pwn3d.

Think you can jump over his tail when he does that.

Hi Fafnir,

For this particular Client Order, although it says "Only Ohza", you may fill up the additional slots with human players.

Also do note that you have no time limit. Take your time.

If you have any access to Poison, many players have proven for this to be extremely effective on Vol Dragon.

I hope I was some help.

Beat him last night. Actually used the lock on to target the tale (too used to Dragon's Dogma, I usually just use the right stick orient the camera), and it made getting that damn tail so much easier.

As a hunter, you can just gunslash bullet spam from a distance locked onto the tail or horn full time.

With an ice gunslash, even better.

For maximum damage, you can alternate between gunslash and your choice hunter weapon; regenerating PP from a distance and going up close to spam a high damaging pp skill with your choice hunter weapon.

I've used a similar tactic as a force and was able to kill Voldragon in 7 minutes for Koffy's desert unlock quest.
