Royal Ludroth Location
Before you even set off, make sure to grab some Bunny Dango for a nice buff and, crucially, equip a weapon with Fire element. Royal Ludroth is really weak to fire, so this will make your life a lot easier. When you get into the Flooded Forest, you'll find the Royal Ludroth hanging out in a few different spots:
| Area | Chance |
| 4 | 60% |
| 7 | 30% |
| 2 | 10% |
So, your best bet is to head to Area 4 first. If it's not there, try Area 7, and then Area 2 as a last resort.
How to Defeat Royal Ludroth
Royal Ludroth is a classic Leviathan monster, first showing up way back in Monster Hunter 3. Its main gimmick is its water-based attacks, which can inflict Waterblight on you if you get hit. Keep an eye out for those! For a more in-depth strategy on how to fight it, you can check out our dedicated Royal Ludroth page, but here's the gist:
Strategy:
- Exploit the Fire Weakness: Seriously, bring that Fire weapon. It makes a huge difference in how quickly you can take it down.
- Watch for Water Attacks: Royal Ludroth loves to spray water. Dodging these is key to avoiding Waterblight, which slows your stamina recovery.
- Target its Weak Points: While the source doesn't detail them, generally with Leviathans, hitting the head and body is effective.
- Stay Mobile: Like most monsters, staying on the move and not getting greedy with attacks will keep you safe.
Just keep chipping away at it, use your Fire weapon, dodge those water sprays, and you'll have it down in no time. Good luck out there, Hunter!
