Hunters fighting Garangolm in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
Garangolm has a number of elemental weaknesses.

Garangolm is weak against Blast, Thunder, and Fire-type weapons and ammo types. This means hunters should take weapons with the above elements to inflict as much damage as possible during the fight. 

Whenever Garangolm reinforces its arms, we recommend focusing your attacks on Garangolm’s these body parts. Once you’ve done enough damage, the element on its arms will shatter, and Garangolm will topple over.

This will give you a few seconds to focus your attacks on its head, tail, and legs, which can be broken for extra rewards. Simply rinse and repeat this method for an easy kill.
