MHW Iceborne: Defeat Nargacuga - Tips & Info

Nargacuga was announced early on as one of the new Iceborne monsters. However, the nimble monster can cause big problems for hunters. With our tips, you'll bag the beast sooner or later.

Quick and fast: Nargacuga puts your reflexes through their paces.

The list of new monsters in Iceborne is long and impressive. Nargacuga isn't the hardest opponent, but it's still a real touchstone at the beginning.

Exploit Nargacuga's weaknesses - and be careful

First, the basics:

• Nargacuga is particularly weak against thunder. Status weaknesses have two stars all over them. Thus, you have a relatively good selection of valid weapons.
• Weak points are the head and the two areas of the tail (base and tip).
• The tip of the tail is also detachable, which makes further combat easier. However, this is only possible when Nargacuga is angry.

In battle, Nargacuga surprises mainly with speed. So good reactions are needed and it is important to know the movements to be able to anticipate. In addition:

• You can use lightning and screaming capsules to interrupt the jump.
• Nargacuga can cause bleeding. Astera jerky (or sushi fish scales) should be in your pack because of this.
• Because of Nargacuga's speed, the grappling hook is handy. He allows you to get to the monster in the short safe moments.
• In rage mode, Nargacuga is even more dangerous, but can no longer destroy traps for it.

It is quite possible that you will not defeat Nargacuga in the first attempt. However, with the tips shown, you have the basics to soon put the bat monster in his place.
