>>37266422Ah, a great question! The main thing about fighting the Necropotamus is that you don't want to be in front of it, if it gets its jaw around something, the something is probably dead. Plus, the skin on its head, neck and front section is particularly tough and thick, as that is the part that gets scarred when they duel one another. The quickest way to kill it is to eviscerate its belly if you can manage that, that's when its skin is softest, and the only part where there aren't iron-hard black bones in the way. Otherwise, stabbing it dozens of times in the back half of its body and back legs, and having it bleed out while it fights you can work too, professional Deadbeat hunters will splash them with and anti-coagulant and blood thinning poison to assist this strategy.
It's also only fast in a straight line, zig-zagging is an effective way to prevent a successful charge.
Oh, and one Deadsloth vs one Necropotamus is a matchup in the sloth's favor, it can wrestle the hippo onto its back and open its belly with its claws.
