Abiotic Factor: Best Base Locations Guide

Observe Attack Patterns: Study its movements to identify telegraphs for lunges, slams, or poison-spitting. Dodge sideways or backward to avoid charges and tail sweeps.
Target Weak Points: Focus on attacking the head or vulnerable segments for increased damage. Swift weapons or ranged options may help exploit openings.
Parry/Dodge Timing: Use well-timed parries to stagger it or perfect dodges to trigger counterattacks. Avoid staying in front of its head for prolonged periods.
Status Management: Equip poison-resistant gear or consumables to mitigate Blightweaver’s venom. Stay mobile to evade lingering poison clouds.
Phase Transitions: At low health, it may enrage with faster combos. Reserve stamina for defensive maneuvers and punish brief recovery windows.
Elemental Advantage: Apply fire-based buffs (if available) to amplify damage.
Positioning: Stick to its flanks to avoid frontal assaults and punish after missed attacks.
