Some monsters in Monster Hunter Rise can fill you with guilt as you carve their freshly killed bodies for a new hat or shiny piece of armour. Others, like the Khezu, are genuine nightmare creatures that do not deserve to be walking around on four legs.

Monster Hunter Rise Khezu Weaknesses
The neck and head of the Khezu are its main weak points. Other than that, the wing is its only particularly strong area. You’ll want to use fire against the Khezu, with water and dragon also doing marginal extra elemental damage.
Ailments
Poison is the only 3-star ailment that can be inflicted on Khezu. Bring some Poison Smoke Bombs with you and try to use them when it is weak. Blast and Fireblight are also good here. Khezu can deal Thunderblight, so bring Nulberries.
Best Weapons and Armour to Use Against the Khezu
Given that the Khezu is weak to fire and deals thunder damage, we recommend heading in with these pieces of gear:
- Weapons: Basarios tree, Anjanath tree, Hand-Me-Down tree
- Armour: Wroggi, Barroth, Khezu, Bishaten, Kadachi, Zinogre (best choice here)
