Learn how to lure and defeat the Exotic Nibelsnarf in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. This guide covers finding the monster, its weaknesses, and the best strategies for the fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Talk to Ogden in any city to start the quest "The Truth Unfolds."
  2. 2
    You will be transported to Galyad for a scene revealing the target.
  3. 3
    Fast travel to the "Camp: Glacial Caps" Catavan Stand.
  4. 4
    Head west up a trail, then climb ledges north to find the Exotic Nibelsnarf's habitat.
  5. 5
    A scene will play, explaining that the monster is subterranean and doesn't rely on sight.
  6. 6
    Roam the area and look for round depressions (dirt pits).
  7. 7
    Stand on a dirt pit with a Monstie that has the roar ability (like Ratha) and use it.
  8. 8
    Repeat this process, moving from pit to pit, until the Exotic Nibelsnarf appears.
  9. 9
    Go to high ground on the southern edge of the area.
  10. 10
    Roar with your Monstie from this perch; the Exotic Nibelsnarf will emerge and dive into a pit.
  11. 11
    Predict which pit the Nibelsnarf will dive into next and stand on it to initiate the fight. The monster's path is: northernmost pit → east → south → middle → westernmost pit → northwest pit.
Tips
  • The Exotic Nibelsnarf is lured by using a Monstie's roar ability on dirt pits.
  • To start the fight, you must anticipate which pit the Nibelsnarf will dive into after it emerges and stand on that specific pit.
  • In combat, exploit the Nibelsnarf's weakness to Power attacks when it uses Technique attacks.
  • When the Nibelsnarf burrows, you must guess which of the three mounds it will emerge from. Guessing correctly leads to a topple and a Synchrorush. Guessing incorrectly results in taking damage.
  • Fill your Kinship gauge to almost guarantee victory.
  • Completing Ogden's fourth side story unlocks Plessie, the Green Plesioth Monstie.
  • A cutscene provides closure to Ogden's side stories.
