The original Crimson Glow Valstrax was one of the toughest final challenges in Monster Hunter Rise before the Sunbreak expansion was released. He made a comeback in the final game of Sunbreak, more powerful than ever. Now, after Title Update 4, we have Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax, which not only has more health and deals more damage, but also has new moves and variations of old moves to spice up a fight than just many players have probably had to become a science. The gear you craft from his materials is, again, some of the best gear in the game.

Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax Weaknesses and Rewards in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
Despite being, or because it is, one of the strongest non-anomalous monsters, Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax is weak to nearly every element on the board. The only one that doesn’t affect it is the Dragon element. However, it is strong against just about every disease in the game. Poison, Stun, Paralysis, Sleep, and Exhaustion are almost completely ineffective. All elemental blights (Fireblight, Waterblight, Thunderblight, and Iceblight) are usable but not particularly good. Blast is better, but not as good as against Velkhana.
Here are all of Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax’s elemental and weapon weaknesses.
