Tips

1. Nargacuga is an extremely agile monster. Throwing a sonic bomb makes the beast stop for a moment to regain its hearing. Use this moment to perform a combination of attacks.
2. The enraged Nargacuga has red eyes, and numerous spikes appear on its body. Once in this state, the monster produces a distinctive roar, becomes much stronger and more mobile, but also more susceptible to traps;
3. In its normal state, the monster, can easily break your traps so use them when he's enraged;
4. Severing the spikes on the Nargacuga tail will not stop its attacks, but will greatly reduce the range and damage inflicted by it;
5. Control the sharpness of the weapon - if the sharpness bar is below the green color, your attacks can bounce off the monster's hard skin;
6. Nargacuga often repeats his attacks. So if you get knocked down by the tail, get ready for another hit.
