This avian terror resembles a mythical Cockatrice, though thankfully its flames won't turn you to stone. As a mid-sized monster, most weapon types prove effective. However, its area-of-effect attacks make ranged weapons preferable for cautious hunters.

While tail swipes and sweeps pack moderate damage, the devastating tail slam requires extra caution. The creature telegraphs this attack by raising its tail momentarily before smashing downward - dodging sideways or blocking prevents damage. The real threats are its flame attacks, which inflict burning damage over time and can ignite the battlefield.

These fiery assaults come with minimal warning. One variant involves the Quematrice roaring while slightly lifting its head before launching flames from its tail. It can also perform a 360-degree fire sweep after roaring with raised head and tail. During charges, it may suddenly pivot to blast fire at pursuers - ranged fighters should immediately retreat when anticipating this move.

Quematrice Capture Tactics

Successful capture requires preparation: bring both Shock and Pitfall Traps plus at least two Tranq Bombs. While theoretically one trap suffices, veteran hunters always carry backups in case the monster flees or another creature triggers your trap prematurely.

Wait until the Quematrice begins limping or displays the skull icon on your minimap. For easiest execution, let it retreat to its nesting area first. Deploy your trap strategically, lure the monster into it, then immediately throw two Tranq Bombs to complete the capture.
