Ivory Lagiacrus

Learn the Ivory Lagiacrus's weaknesses, attacks, and recommended strategies for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Master this High Rank leviathan!

Alright, so you've made it to High Rank and you're ready to face the Ivory Lagiacrus! This guy's a sub-species of the regular Lagi, and honestly, it's a bit more of a pain because it prefers to fight on land. Its electric attacks also have a nasty habit of reaching further than you'd expect. Let's get you prepped!

Habitat

You'll find this electric leviathan in a couple of spots:

• Deserted Island: Areas 5, 9, 10, 11 (where it spawns), and 12 (where it rests).
• Flooded Forest: Areas 4, 5, 6 (where it spawns), and 8 (where it rests).

Key Attacks

You need to recognize these moves to survive:

• Underwater Charge/Slither: It basically turns into a torpedo and slams into you. Dodge this like your life depends on it!
• Thunderbolt: It'll rear up and spit a lightning bolt straight ahead. Sidestep this one.
• Electric Discharge: When its spines are glowing bright, it'll do a close-range electrical explosion. Stay away if you see those glowing spines!
• Electric Pop: Similar to the discharge, but it creates smaller electrical bursts around it. Again, give it space when those spines are lit up.
• Tail Flick: While underwater, it'll lift its body and swipe the area in front with its tail.
• Body Slam: On land, it'll go sideways and then slam its whole body into you.

Recommended Strategy

Fighting the Ivory Lagiacrus is all about careful dodges and knowing when to strike. It's fast, both on land and in the water, so don't get greedy!

Like other leviathans, it loves using its whole body to attack. After it lunges, try to get some distance so you can see what it's planning next. Don't just mindlessly attack; watch its movements and pick your openings.

Fighting underwater? It's going to be quick. Your best bet is to try and keep up, but focus more on avoiding its attacks by approaching from wide angles rather than swimming straight at it. Always try to attack from the sides, as that Tail Flick is no joke. And seriously, keep an eye on those glowing spines – when they're super charged, play it extra safe.

Remember, this land-based version is faster than its underwater cousin. Its ground attacks come out quicker and can chain together more easily. Stay alert!
