Helpful Hints:
So here we are, the ultimate enemy, the one leeching off of the Dragontorch is the mammoth Zoh Shia. Zoh Shia is a huge, white monster, with crystallized Wyvern Milk all over its body. This can be broken fairly easily with targeted attacks on its wings. Its claws attached to its wings will be doing a lot of the attacking, focussing on generating the familiar white explosions you’ve experienced with other Guardians up to this point. Be on the lookout for a variety of large area-of-effect explosions, as well as straight-line trails to avoid. Again, the safest place generally is underneath or behind Zoh Shia, where you can hit it in relative safety, just keep a lookout for the telltale white marks and dodge any explosions. Wounding and breaking parts will help the fight here and allow you to do more damage. It will be weak to a free wound attack on its head after large attacks and roars, so be vigilant. When it angers, its head will get hot and black and it will do fiery attacks from its mouth, so avoid or be prepared to deal with Fireblight. If Zoh Shia swirls up and you are alerted to it doing something in the area, run to the other side of the arena. Large Wyvern Milk crystals will be created, large fireballs will drop from the sky and then Zoh Shia will engulf the arena in flame. At the far edges, up the slope a bit you will be safe from harm though, so get there quickly. With its wings now black, it will resort to even more fiery attacks so be on your guard, and heal accordingly. Another phase sees the Zoh Shia go completely black, and you should expect Wyvern crystals from the floor, as well as lightning to strike from above, again here the best chance is to keep moving and dodging to avoid damage. At this point his body will be weakened, and you should keep attacking to victory.
