Description¶
Here we are: the fearsome cover beast itself, Lagiacrus. This bad boy has been terrorising Moga Village for some time and is the reason you were brought to town. Like other water-based leviathans, it’s deadly on land and extremely deady underwater. Beware of its electric-based attacks.

Key Attacks¶
Underwater Charge/Slither : The Lagiacrus throws itself towards the hunter in a torpedo like fashion.
Thunderbolt : The Lagiacrus arcs its head and then spits a thunderbolt straight forward.
Electric Discharge : The Lagiacrus vibrate and its back crackles, followed by a proximity electrical explosion that affects anyone close to it (only occurs when spines are glowing strongly).
Electric Pop : Similar to Electric Discharge, however the attack causes electrical ‘pops’ within the proximity of the Lagiacrus (only occurs when spines are glowing strongly).
Tail Flick : When underwater the Lagiacrus pulls its body up and then ‘swats’ the space in front of it with its tail.
Body Slam : On land the Lagiacrus will put itself sideways to the hunter and then slam its entire body towards them.
Recommended Strategy¶
The Lagiacrus is a large beast capable of fast attacks, both on land and underwater. Fighting something so brash requires diligent dodges and careful pokes to either the belly or tail of the creature.
As with other leviathans the Lagiacrus will frequently attack with its entire body, meaning it’s your duty to try and move as far away as possible after only one or two attacks, re-evaluating the creature after this and planning your next movement, be it avoid or attack.
Underwater you’ll be shocked by the Lagi’s speed. You want to try and pursue the creature, but know that it moves frequently and far; focus more on avoidance and careful advances via wide angles over just swimming straight at the beast.
Try and attack from the side, simply because the Tail Flick is dangerous, and always be checking the glow of the Lagi’s spines, playing extra cautiously when it reaches a strong charge.
