MH Rise Sunbreak Lucent Nargacuga weakness, weapons, and armor

Want to know what the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Lucent Nargacuga weakness is? The first free update to the already colossal RPG game’s expansion is now available, coming with four new monsters. Well, they’re all variants on existing foes, so “new” comes with a caveat. To unlock the Lucent Nargacuga fight, you must first beat Gaismagorm to unlock the post-game, then reach Master Rank 10. You’ll get a quest to hunt a Seething Bazelgeuse, then requests to deal with both a Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos. Once you’ve dealt with all three of those, Lucent Nargacuga will reveal itself, a returning variant we’ve not seen since Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Before you head into the fight, you need to equip ice weapons as they are the best for exploiting the Lucent Nargacuga weakness. We highly recommend you check out our Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak weapon tier list, as some focus more on elemental damage than others.

Lucent Nargacuga weakness

In general, melee weapons inflict far more damage than ranged rounds do on Lucent Nargacuga, with the one exception being the tail. The tip of its tail is a crucial target in this fight, as chopping it off will ensure it can’t fire poisonous barbs for the rest of the hunt. Doing this is easier said than done, as Lucent Nargacuga loves to phase in and out of sight, frequently getting the jump on would-be hunters. So long as you don’t get too greedy hitting the monster, you should have enough time to evade its attacks.

Ice weapons are the best for the Lucent Nargacuga fight as they do the most damage and can slow this agile beast down with Iceblight. You can also deal decent burst damage with Blast weapons, but you may struggle to inflict any other kind of blight on this stealthy creature.
