Defeat the Leaplasher in horizon forbidden west. Learn its weak points, attacks, and loot including Spark Coil from the Power Cell.

The Leaplasher is a Level 13 Transport machine found in the IOTA Cauldron. It is weak to Purgewater and strong against Shock.

Tips for Defeating the Leaplasher
  • The Leaplasher moves erratically by hopping and jumping.
  • Destroying the Power Cell on its tail disables its electric attacks. Use Concentration to slow time and target it, especially after its tail slam.
  • Destroying the Cargo Claw on its stomach limits its attack options.
  • The Leaplasher has a lunging kick attack that can be dodged by rolling.
  • It can perform a jumping attack, slamming its feet down, which may cause a shockwave if electrified. It can do this multiple times.
  • After a feet slam, it may turn and leap at you, slamming its tail.
  • If too far, it will launch three electrified projectiles from its tail; these become rocks if the Power Cell is destroyed.
  • The Cargo Claw can be used to spin like a flail or be flung at you. Destroying it removes these attacks.
  • Shoot the Canisters on its back with the corresponding elemental arrows (after destroying protective armor, if necessary) to trigger elemental explosions that can damage the machine and nearby enemies.

Loot (Body):

  • Sparker (100%)
  • Metal Shards (100%)
  • Machine Muscle (31%)
  • Leaplasher Circulator (30-31%)
  • Leaplasher Primary Nerve (20%)
  • Small Machine Core (16-17%)
  • Metal Bone (10-11%)
  • Braided Wire (11%)
  • Sturdy Hardplate (5-6%)
  • Apex Leaplasher Heart (60% - Apex only)
  • Volatile Sludge (50% - Apex only)

Loot (Cargo Claw):

  • Destroying the Cargo Claw on its belly can yield loot pods with random contents. This part is destroyed upon killing the machine.

Loot (Canister):

  • Metalbite (100% - Acid variant)
  • Blaze (100% - Fire variant)
  • Chillwater (100% - Frost variant)
  • Glowblast (100% - Apex variant)

The Canisters are on the Leaplasher's back, protected by armor. Hitting them with the corresponding elemental arrow triggers an explosion. .

Loot (Power Cell):

  • Sparker (100%)
  • Leaplasher Spark Coil (20-21%)

The Power Cell is located below the Canisters and powers electrified attacks. Detaching it is the only way to obtain the Spark Coil resource. .
