All Bazelgeuse Weaknesses

Bazelgeuse Elemental Weakness

The main weakness of Bazelgeuse is thunder, but if you have ice or dragon elements, those will still be relatively effective. But do not use water, as it does very little damage, and fire weapons are ineffective. Here are the locations where you should attack Bazelgeuse for extra elemental damage.

You should focus if using an elemental weapon on its Head, Leg, and Tail areas for the most damage, especially if you're using thunder weapons. If you're using ice or dragon weapons, aim for the wing and abdomen as well.
