Tigrex's Moves
Tigrex Charge. When he does this sheath your weapon and run far enough to his sides that your out of the way, but can still get close enough fast enough to deal out some hits. He will stop and stand still / turn around like any other wyvern and has a time window where you can get a few hit (depending on your weapon, I can get 4-5 with Devil Slicer on occasion). If you can do this enough you may find that he will flinch and opens another window for 2-3 more hits.
-Tigrex Charge and Dash. What makes this different from your run-of-the-mill Tigrex Charge is that he will turn around at the end and charge again (sometimes twice if he's enraged.) Just follow the advice given for Tigrex Charge and you'll be fine.
-Tigrex Leap. This is a attack that has little to NO time window for attack. Wait for it to pass (somewhat easy to dodge, but chances are if he's doing this he's going to hit you or he'd be charging instead.)
-Tigrex Tail Spin. This is a pain to dodge at close range which he usually does if your beating on him but if you find that your close and for some reason unbeknown to me he does it (under-evolved brain, perhaps?) wait for him to spin then run in for a quick 2-3 hits. Keep watching for him to turn around as this is usually followed up by Tigrex Bite.
-Tigrex Roar. He usually only does this if hes enraging but I know he does it if your beating on his arms to shake you off. If your in close range, your more then likely screwed since this is a Roar attack. Anyway, when he roars it sends you flying. Now Good and Bad news. Good news is that this does little to no damage. Bad news is that this is usualy his "AMAGOSH! HEZ STUNN3D! L333ROY JANKINZ!!*Tigrex Charge* " move so this little sun turns into a 1/2 3/4 your health down the tubes move. Sheath if you can and be ready to dive at a moments notice. On a side note, if your far enough away and ave your weapon sheathed you can dash in for a few quick hits.
-Tigrex Bite. A straight forward move. He rears back his head for a slit second (like the roar) then charges forward 2 steps and bites. Can easily be dodge rolled and even has a attack window. Good time for a counter attack.
TACTICS
OK for all the people that are just getting to tigrex...and are very worried...don't be...there's 2 ways u can go about killing him....u can....
1)Sonic Bow in Snowy Mountains Get the sonic bow and stand on the ledges in area 6 and 3...when he is in 8...all it takes is for u to run around in circles shooting him...or if u want u can stand in front of that big wall...and when he charges he will get stuck....if u are using sonic bow 1..u shouldn't get his teeth stuck...it wastes time...if your using sonic bow 2....which will definitely do loads of damage too him...u can do either one u feel more comfortable with.
2) Sonic bow in desert- OK for this one its a little more challenging if u like standing on ledges. for this quest...called "Tigrex's Roar" or something like that...u fight him in the desert(DUH!!). by this time if u liked fighting him in the snowy mountains with the bow and plan on killing him in the desert with a bow....then u better get sonic bow 2....its extremely easy to get don't worry...
The only areas he goes too are the two open desert areas...and area 9....for when he is about dead...
first time i did this quest i used the sonic bow 2 and took 50 power coatings, 20 empty bottles, and 20 nitroshrooms...the bottles and nitroshrooms make more power coating...that will give u a total of 70...and if u miss with some...don't worry not many people are perfect shot every single time..
Other Information
Use the same concept as in the snowy mountains except u have to circle and shoot most the time. for when he is limping he will go to his "rest spot" as i like to call it..and Z0mg...there's a ledge there...and he gets his teeth stuck...u know what to do in area 9. after u kill him collect your carves and wyvern tears(he usually cries when he keeps slamming into the wall ) and then shoot him to pieces...that's what we all do he he
