• Tail Flick: While underwater, the Lagiacrus rears up and swats the space in front of it with its tail.
• Body Slam: On land, the Lagiacrus positions itself sideways to the hunter and slams its entire body towards them.

Recommended Strategy:

The Lagiacrus is a large and fast monster, dangerous both on land and underwater. Use diligent dodges and aim for its belly or tail. After one or two attacks, try to move away to re-evaluate and plan your next move. Underwater, focus on avoidance and careful, wide-angle advances rather than swimming directly at the beast due to its speed and frequent movement. Attack from the sides to avoid the Tail Flick, and be extra cautious when its spines glow strongly, indicating a powerful charge.
