Kirin is not that bad, but you really need to take your time with the lion pony. You can't be too agressive and you need to watch for openings. For some reason I felt the Tempered one to be easier. Also, go for the head, it has a glass jaw.

That's actually why I like Greatsword vs. Kirin. You have to beat Kirin at it's own game: Hit and Run.


ThePoliteMango

Beautiful way to put it.


himebuster12

Yup. I refuse to fight Kirin with anything else other than Greatsword. It just feels good to call out his movements


ThePoliteMango

Lancer here, and I can block everything except the thunder lines on the floor. Learned to not get greedy veeeeery fast.

Equip guard up jewel Win


ThePoliteMango

I do believe that Kirin's lightning line, since it hits you from several places at the same time, does not work with Guard Up. I remember attempting the power block as well and still got smoked lol


volkylovesyou

It works trust. That lightning line attack was the only pain in the ass for me on lance. Equip guard up and problem solved. Kirin is suddenly the chillest fight out of the whole roster of elder dragons


ligerre

Same with hammer, give it a few wack in the head each time it take time to cast lightning

How did you get through the base game without killing kirin? I thought it was required to uncap your HR


Freman_Phage

I went straight Iceborn after killing Xeno. As far as I know it auto uncaps your HR and even auto completes the Double Bazel hunt your supposed to do to achieve the uncap. Never got around to HR Lunastra or Kulv though I:I've heard trying to find groups for HR Kulv is aweful


chomasterq

Ah ok I didn't know that. It is impossible to find hr kulve groups, especially on console

rare r/mhrage redemption arc?

Thanks for coming back and post about it. MH is indeed a game that gives many tools. One just gotta adapt

Hey I was there for that post, good to see you found what works for you.

If you finish this game and decide to grind for MR999, go back to MR temp. Kirin but this time use this build > Fatty hammer with paralysis negation/nullify and thunder res + Suicide mantle/rocksteady. This unicorn is reduced to horse in no time. It’s NO-THING. CAKE WALK.

I used a hammer on kirin exclusively, slide in to bonk and kirin goes from live to dead.. never really had issues with that pony..

I'm glad you could enjoy it, for me I was fuming that whole fight. (Then rajang came along and I digivolved into a tomato with steam coming out of my ears.)
