Monster Hunter Rise has plenty of terrifying foes for players to tackle. Each of these monsters offers a unique challenge for aspiring hunters, and the Khezu is one of Rise's many Flying Wyverns that pose a threat to inexperienced players. This white Wyvern will crush unprepared hunters, so ensure you're ready for this fight by reading up on Khezu's weaknesses.
When fighting this beast, it's good to know what it's weak against or where to inflict that good old damage to slaughter the foe quickly. So here's Khezu's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.
All Khezu Weaknesses
Khezu Elemental Weakness
Khezu's main weakness is its aversion to fire elemental damage. Striking with this type of weaponry will eviscerate the winged beast. Besides fire, there aren't many viable options. Water, ice, and dragon weapons are better than no element at all, but only slightly. Do not use
You should focus your attacks if using a fire weapon on the Khezu's Head, Neck, and Torso, as these are the areas that will feel the most significant impact. If you're using water, ice, or dragon weaponry, where you attack doesn't matter, as the damage dealt is the same across the monster's entire body.
| Damage Location | Fire | Water | Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | 30 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 |
| Neck | 25 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 |
| Torso | 25 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 |
| Wing | 20 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 |
| Left Leg | 15 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 |

Khezu Drop Rates - Carves, Capturing & Breaking
Depending on your quest, you can get different rewards to forge armor and weapons, but each one has a drop rate percentage that is ultimately RNG. It is pure luck what you receive.
- There are multiple ways of gaining items
- You can carving three times once the monster is dead.
- You can capture the monster instead of killing it.
- Or carving the broken appendage of said monster.
- From looting the drops from the monster

Most monsters have breakable parts, and Khezu is no different. Players can break pieces off of both the Head and Legs of the Wyvern. To break these parts of the monster, consistently attack them. If you break pieces off during the hunt, you will earn extra rewards after completing the quest.
