For example, if you attack one of Plesioth's legs while he's on land enough, he'll eventually fall over and leave himself open for huge damage. Attacking certain parts of a monster's body also effects them over time. Some might even have armored parts where they'll take less or make your attacks bounce off of them unless upgraded past a certain point.

They'll be slower and might trip up on some of their attacks, leaving them wide open for combos, traps, or bombs. When they're exhausted, you'll see them drooling. You can get a few hits in but it's better to focus on dodging.

They'll be more aggressive, attacks will hurt a bit more, and there will be less time to attack them. You can tell when it's enraged by the smoke near it's head/mouth. A monster has three states: normal, enraged, and exhausted.Take a few seconds to see if you can notice their pattern and when it would be safe to attack. You have to be very methodical in when you're attacking. Don't go in expecting to mash the attack button and win.
