How To: Basarios is really a pushover. He's really not all that difficult, but he may be for those who have not fought him countless times. Well, that's where a guide like this comes in handy. You're gonna need quite a few items to be prepared for this quest:
The Basarios ALWAYS appears in Area 2 and always remains there. You will notice one of the rocks in the center seems out of place and a little different. That's your Basarios. Set up a Pitfall Trap in the center of the area and place your Lg-Barrel Bombs around it. Get close to the Basarios and throw a Paintball at it.
It should shake and come up out of the ground. If it doesn't, well then you didn't find the right one. Get the Basarios to charge into your Pitfall Trap and detonate the Lg-Barrel Bombs. That should do a good amount of damage to him.
Now as you look around the area you'll see some odd-looking rocks that stand by themselves, but don't loom too tall. These are flint stones. Get the Basarios to charge into these to cause them to explode and deal great amounts of damage. Also lead it to crash into walls so you can cut off its tail for an extra carve. Repeat the same strategy again with the Pitfall Traps until you have no more or the creature dies.
If you run out of the traps, you will have to resort to dodging its attacks and striking at its chest, which will break away and show you the raw meat of his body. That's where you should be focusing your attacks!
When it's close to dying it will start to use a new attack: the beam attack. This attack deals massive damage and covers a wide area in front of him. Avoid this at all costs. Also, when you get too close to the Basarios it will use an attack that unleashes a poison cloud. When all is said and done, you will get 3 carves from the Basarios and a lot of them will be Machalite Ore so it's very well worth the effort.
Quest Completed!
*Edit* I received a tip from someone who had read my guide, and it's a good one so I will include it. Instead of placing the bombs in the pitfall traps, you have an alternate method. You can place two of them at a flint stone and coax Basarios into charging into it, dealing more damage. You can kill him a lot faster using this method (and I've tested it out to prove it).
