How to Beat Chameleos in MH Rise



 

Welcome back

Before we get started I want to let you guys know that I have other guides and if you like this one you should check them out! I make lots of tools and guides for monster hunter Rise like the damage calc. Now let’s get into it.


This is The Topic Hole and this is Chameloes’s Monster breakdown


General Info

The special thing about Chameleos is that he turns invisible and steals your stuff but there are ways around these.

 

To get rid of

1)      You can break it’s horn

2)      You can wear the Teo Armor

 

When it’s invisible you can still attack it where it is and if you have a wire bug move that attaches a wire then you can see it’s movement as well. It’s sneaky and have a few moves that you’ll need to look out for which we’ll talk about in a minute.

 

 

 

Body Slam (Slow)

This body slam is very deadly especially when it's invisible. It takes a lot of wind up but if you don't see it coming you won’t see it until it's too late. What you want to do is roll next to its legs to get away. When it lands it has a really big hitbox so moving left, right, away from it, or under its legs just won't work.

 

Body Slam (fast)

This one is similar to the slow one but obviously much quicker. You can tell the difference because it don’t hold its position like the slow one. You'll still want to dodge next to its legs to get away but because it can combo into its self so be ready to dodge again.

 

Tail slap

Each time it's tail slaps onto the ground it will send rocks flying. If you are near the tip of it's tail or farther away then you'll want to try to walk around it or wait for it to finish. It'll slap it's tail 1 to 3 times in a row. If you can get in between it's tail and back legs you'll be in a safe zone so you'll be able to get in some free hits.

 

 

 

Jump

When you see it crouch down you know this move is coming. Make sure you move to it’s side to avoid it. There are a few ways that it’s follow up from this. If it’s invisible then it’ll do one of the body slams and if it’s not it’ll follow up with a tail slap.

 

 

Head swipe

It really likes doing this move when it’s invisible when makes it tricky to see coming. With this move it uses it's head to swipe from left to right kind of like how some monsters do with their tails. This move  can happen twice so make sure that you dodge behind it or keep moving in front of it until he's done.

 

I know what you’re thinking it’s in visible how do I know where to dodge? Well it won’t move to far so once you see it change you’ll need to watch for this little outline.


Tackle(Fast)

It likes to do this move right after becoming visible and it can steal your stuff. The best way I’ve found to dodge it is to move to it’s side.


Lick (multi target)

The que for this one is very subtle but when it’s foot is up like this. You know it will start swinging it’s tongue around. It’ll only hit infront of it’s self and it doesn’t have too much range so if you are to it’s sides, behind it or too far away you don’t need to worry.

 

Lick (Single target)

There isn't much of a tell for when this move will happen It will change direction , then it's head will go down like it's going to move, come back up then it'll lick. As long as you aren't standing directly infront of it you'll be able to avoid this move


Poison Spray (multi-target)

The poison spray goes everywhere but it's going to mainly be in front of him and in the air. So be careful if you're trying to attack it from the sky

 

Poison Spray (single-target)

The spray is more focus and is shot in a line in front it's self but boy does it have range.

 

Poison Cloud

The poison cloud is interesting because depending on where Chameleos is, you need to dodge it a different way. Chameleos when fly into the air and shoot a poison cloud onto the ground and it'll fan out into a circle. If he is inside the circle then he'll uses he's wings to blow it farther out but if it's outside the circle it'll make the poison ring collapse on it's self. Pretty much if it's inside the circle stay there and keep attacking but it's on the out side move out side of it as well.

 

 

Poison Bomb

With this move he'll shoot 5 poison bombs that will hit close to it's body. It doesn't have much range but you should watch out for the bombs and the front legs since they are all hitboxes.

 

Poison Bomb Flying

This move is similar but it's flying so you don't have to worry about it's front legs. You can dodge inward or away to dodge this move

 

 

Poison Rain

This move is like it sounds, It shoot poison down from the sky and it hits everything and everyone. If you stand next to it'a leg you can attack it until the animation is finished. If you're range you'll have to dodge the poison but you can see where they will land which makes it easier. This move can combo into the Tackle so watch out for that

 

Spray

When it sprays it makes the area smoky then he disappears. There isn't a hit box but two things to know are 1) while it's spraying the mist you can get some free shots and 2) The poison rain is going to be powered up.

 

Claw Swipe

This move has a pretty big tell. When you see it lift it’s front leg you know that that claw is about to do the swipe. Just move to the other side or away from it’s body to avoid it




That’s it
