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 Chameleos's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.

All Chameleos Weaknesses

Chameleos Elemental Weakness

The main weakness of the Chameleos is fire, but if you have dragon, it's a viable second option. Thunder is adequate but far less so than fire or dragon weaponry. But do not use water or ice, as these elements are ineffective and moot in battle with the Chameleos. Here are the locations where you should attack X for extra elemental damage.

Hunters using fire and dragon weapons should focus their attacks on the Head, Back, and Hind Legs of the Chameleos. Thunder weapons will inflict the same damage no matter where a player strikes.

  • If using a cutting weapon focus on the head and forelegs
  • If using a blunt weapon focus on the head and forelegs.
  • If using a bow weapon focus on shooting the head and the tail.

Chameleos Resistances and Ailments

The Chameleos are resistant to all ailments except for two—Blast and Fireblight. If you want to inflict ailments, you'll have to use one of these two ailment types to make a dent in the Elder Dragon. Try using a fast weapon like the Insect Glaive or Dual Blade to quickly get status ailments on your enemy.

Chameleos Drop Rates - Carves, Capturing & Breaking

Depending on your quest, you can get different rewards to forge armor and weapons, but one that has a drop rate percent 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
    • After successfully compleing your quest

Most monsters have breakable parts, and Chameleos is no different. You can break several aspects of this monster—Horn, Wings, and Tail. If you break these during the hunt, you will earn extra rewards after completing the quest.

The tables below are the percentage and drop rates of each material from Chameleos, High rank.
