Okay, here’s my blog post about wrestling with Lagiacrus – hopefully it’s helpful or at least entertaining!
Alright, so I decided to tackle Lagiacrus. Why? Because it looked cool and I heard it was a pain in the butt. Always up for a challenge, right?
First thing I did was some research. I checked around and saw it’s weak to fire, and hits you with thunder attacks. Good to know. Figured I’d craft some decent fire weapons and armor with some thunder resistance. Crafting took way longer than I thought. I spent like half a day just gathering materials. Seriously, who knew getting fire sacs was so annoying?
Next, I went to the fight. Underwater combat? Sheesh. It took me a while just to get used to moving around down there. Lagiacrus kept zipping around, and I was just flailing, trying to land a hit. I swear, I spent more time chasing it than actually fighting it.
My first few attempts were total failures. I kept getting shocked and carted back to camp. It was frustrating, but I started noticing patterns. Like, it likes to charge after a certain attack, and it telegraphs its lightning moves a little bit. Started adjusting my strategy.
So, I changed tactics. I started focusing on dodging its attacks and then getting in a few hits when it was recovering. I also started using sonic bombs to try and stun it. Those worked occasionally, which was a nice breather. It was slow going, but I was making progress.
One thing that really helped was targeting its head. Seems obvious, but with all the chaos underwater, it was easy to just swing wildly. Focusing my attacks on its head seemed to do more damage and stagger it more often. Also, breaking its parts felt pretty satisfying.
I kept at it, learning more with each attempt. Eventually, I managed to get it limping. That’s when I knew I had a chance. I laid down a trap and waited for it to fall for it. BOOM! Gotcha!
I went all out, unleashing everything I had. It was a frantic scramble, but I finally managed to take it down. Felt amazing! Definitely one of the tougher hunts I’ve done.
Lessons Learned:
- Fire is your friend.
- Thunder resist armor helps a ton.
- Underwater combat is a beast, practice moving around.
- Target the head!
- Patience is key.
Would I fight Lagiacrus again? Probably. It was a good challenge. Now, to figure out what to craft with all these Lagiacrus parts…
