How to beat it
A rewrite of the in-game help and of the prompts shown during the fight: no made-up strategy.
-
After it slams the ground with its tail hammer, a seismic wave spreads: stay on higher ground to avoid it.
-
An Aniimo that can alter the terrain makes this much easier to handle.
What holds for every Alpha and Omega
- After Alpha and Omega Aniimo leave BREAK state, they enter BREAK Recovery state until their BREAK gauge fully recovers. While in BREAK or BREAK Recovery state, they take greatly increased damage.
- Watch out! Warning areas will appear on the ground before the Alpha attacks. Make sure to dodge in advance!
- There will be only one chance to catch an Alpha after defeating it. Switch to the most advanced Aniipod you have to catch!

Use Pound to get tunneling Alpha Minespine out
Tunneling underground is an effective way for them to protect themselves, but the tremors of the earth also become more unbearable down there.
