How to beat the Khezu
The Khezu is a master of lightning and can release discharges or shoot lightning, especially from its mouth. It is one of those monsters whose weak point is also the most dangerous place. Its attacks are slow and, with the exception of its extendable neck, very short-range, but formidable. Opting for ranged weapons such as bows or spindles will make the fight anecdotal.
For body-to-corp players, don't be surprised by its attack combos. The Khezu attacks slowly, but its unusual movements can hide unexpected headbutts or electric shocks.
The Khezu also has a habit of screaming and paralysing players quite regularly. He can then interrupt combos or charged attacks. When his scream enrages him, he also causes lightning to fall around him which can be difficult to negotiate if you are immobilised by the scream.
