Lava Ridge / Jigokuzaru
What is this monster? The Lavaback is a silverback gorilla-inspired kemono, also known as the Jigokuzaru. But instead of a gray coat, the lava ridge, as the name suggests, has a volcanic body. The menacing gorilla uses this cleverly.
Strategy: When you face the lava ridge, you should be prepared for a lot. The gorilla can throw molten rock to attack at long range. On top of that, he uses his long arms to deliver rapid blows in close combat.
In order to be successful against the lava ridge, it is important to pay close attention to the environment. This should allow you to see where the ground breaks up when the gorilla launches an attack. This allows you to anticipate the attacks and dodge them in time. In addition, another effective strategy should be to increase the elemental resistance of your character by using the elemental lantern.

Flora grunt / Yama’ugachi
What is this monster? The flora grunt, or yama’ugachi, is a plant-covered, oversized wild boar with menacing tusks the size of tree trunks. The Floragrunt has a multitude of eyes, all of which will snap open when something invades its territory. When not in combat, the kemono has most of its eyes closed and relies on its sense of smell.
Strategy: The Flora Grunt is a rather slow Kemono with many weak points. If you manage to cling to his massive body, you can use the Hunting Arm to defeat him.
In order to survive the Flora Grunt’s overwhelming attacks and attack sequences, you should use various Karakuri techniques. So you can use the bulwark when the wild boar rushes towards you or use the spring when it shakes the earth.

Amaterasu
What is this monster? A giant orange bird resembling a phoenix, the Amaterasu has been worshiped as a deity since days of yore. However, any region that worships him is doomed.
strategy: The Amaterasu absorbs the power of the sun’s rays into its body to unleash devastating attacks. But while absorbing the rays, he is particularly vulnerable on his wings.
In addition, you can restrict the Amaterasu’s movement by attacking him with a Harpoon Karakuri.
Frost Grim / Rasetsu
What is this monster? Frostgrim is a wolf so cool he can summon chunks of ice even when there’s no water around. In general, an icy cold emanates from the body of the dangerous Kemono. The wolf is considered “the terror of the hunters” and has enormous strength. He is also very fast and can even be found in packs.
strategy: When fighting Frostgrim, it’s important to keep an eye on the wolf despite its rapid movements. The chance to counterattack comes when Frostgrim creates a crust of ice around himself. This is comparatively easy to destroy and offers you the opportunity to take the initiative and damage the Kemono.
All of the Kemono shown so far can also be seen fighting humans in the Wild Hearts cinematic trailer. The karakuri technique is also used:
In order to defeat the dangerous Kemono, Wild Hearts will feature a variety of different weapons that you can use in battle. We have already seen some of them:
