This guide covers all Lucent Nargacuga’s weaknesses and all material drops in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
How to beat Lucent Nargacuga in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
All Lucent Nargacuga weaknesses
The greatest asset Lucent Nargacuga has against you and your team is the ability to fade into the shadows. It can become completely invisible, but you will be able to see the Nargacuga’s signature glowing eyes through the camouflage, only if it is enraged. Hopefully, when it enters this state, it is enraged, but you can also try tracking it by following its movement on the ground. Another powerful asset it has is the poisonous tail, sending out multiple spikes that can heavily damage you over time. Therefore, we encourage you to prioritize cutting off this creature’s tail.
