This giant reptile looking creature packs a mean punch and at first blush you may think it’s too difficult. Don’t fret, this guide will help you get past it with ease.

Use The Terrain To Your Advantage
The Hognork will charge at you with a pretty devastating attack for such an early game enemy. Your goal is not to kill it but to capture it. Likely by now you know how to capture creatures, but for reference you need to find Hognork’s weakness and attack it in order to stagger it. Once it’s staggered you can lasso it with your whip and capture it. In the Hognork’s case, its weakness is in it’s mouth which you can only attack when he lets out a loud roar or is charging at you.
Because the attacks from Hognork are so strong you can only really take a couple hits from it, and if you haven’t learned dodge at this stage of the game it can be hard to avoid him. So the solution? Jump up on a rock ledge just out of Hognork’s reach. It will continue to be aggro’d towards you and continue to let out its roar and you can just unload your gun into it until it staggers.

It might not be the most exciting method, but it most certainly is the most effective in helping you get past this dangerous mission! And in the process you will unlock the “In The Bag” achievement/trophy.
