Monster Hunter World: Nargacuga Melee Guide
Finding Nargacuga
Those playing theMonster Hunter IceborneBeta have the opportunity to findNargacugaby completing theGreat Jagras questuntil the quest’s text changes to “we’ve received reports of another mysterious monster!” Pick the camp closest to quadrant 9 as Nargacuga will usually spawn there.
Nargacuga Attacks
Start by eating something at the camp before heading out to quadrant 9 to find Nargacuga. attempt to fight him on the sloped area instead of the water areas as your movement will be slightly impaired. While on the sloped area, players can use plenty of slide and aerial attacks which can proc a mount.
Most of Nargacuga’s attacks hitzones are in front of him or directly behind. The best spot to be position at would be towards his body, as you only need to watch out for his whole body lunge attack and his 180 tail sweep. The tail sweep will be telegraphed by moving slightly to one side to only swipe the opposite side.
When enraged be careful as Nargacuga’s attacks can be chained together making it difficult to predict which attack will come next. Its speed will also increase, making it harder to find an opening to counter attack. When Nargacuga is found in quadrant 8 in Ancient Forest, there will be 2 trees that can be broken that will act as pitfall traps. Alternatively, players can use their shock traps to create an opening.
