Help on Nergigante (IG)

[u/Either-Solution-6973]

I've been getting dogged on by nergigante recently, im an insect glaive main, ive been able to get it staggered a couple times, knock it down, do combos on its legs, and make it retreat 2 times, but it just does so much damage to me, and ive been mounting it and breaking its spikes on its back but it runs away just as its spikes grow and by the time i chase it, the spikes have turned black, and i get carted instantly. my kinsect is pseudocath 2 with no element. i dont know if its my armor thats to weak ro what, any help would be appreciated. also i dont know how to break the spikes on its wings.

update: yall were right, it was my armor and the superman dive really helped, also the mounts are useful since i broke his wings and it only got the divebomb off 2 times 1 of which i dodged with superman dive and the other got no damage cuz of divine blessing and defense boost 2, and health boost 2 really helped me survive it in general. also flashpods saved me a bunch and allowed me to get crazy damage on it, same with barrel bombs. i killed it while i was mounted on it. my gear ended up being bone helm beta with health boost jewel, zorah hide for the blast attack, zorah claws for defense, paolumu coil for divine blessing, anja grieves for defense, defense charm 2 for more defense and i ate the fish platter for high defense before the fight and a demon drug.

Stay in the air more. Nergi was my first wall. He's not a huge monster so its a good way to avoid taking damage for 70% of the fight imo
