Yian Garuga

The Yian Garuga is a subspecie of the Yian Kut-Ku and the Blue Yian Kut-Ku. This wyvern is not only very different in physical aspects of the Yian Kut-Ku, but also very different in behavior, abilities and hunting strategies. Physically speaking, they are purple, have a body covered with spikes and have extremely hard shells. Their tail spikes are toxic enough that one tail swipe can poison you. These creatures are very aggressive and seem to always be enraged. They are also much faster and can roar in a loud sonic "tune".

=Monster Hunter Freedom Glitch= To perform the Yian Garuga Glitch get a single Spiderweb then accept the "Revenge of the Yian Garuga" quest. Once inside trade the spiderweb to the Elder to get a special mushroom. (You can also just gather a special mushroom from the spot near the elder if you do not have a spiderweb). Now you just wait until the time runs out and the game will think you won the quest. The next time you fight him, his health will already be substantially low, making it an easy win. (Note: This glitch has not been tested in Monster Hunter Freedom 2.)This glicth is extremely helpful for new players and can provide a a very good set of armour to get through most of the elder quests.

=Battle= Without ESP, your weapon will not pierce through the shell of the Yian Garuga. The only areas on its body that can be hit without bouncing is the head, wings and tail. The head is the most sensitive area on their body. They are weakest to water-elemented weapons.

It is possible to damage the Garuga's ears during battle, allowing them to be obtained as a reward item. This process also works for obtaining Garuga Mane. The Garuga's spiked tail can be cut off during battle for 1 carve. Their wings and back can be damaged for extra reward items.
