Step 1: Complete the Special Assignment “The Blazing Sun”

Upon first receiving the replace, you’ll be requested to talk to the Huntsman close to the council desk. He’s indicated by the blue exclamation level on the map in Astera. He’ll inform you that Teostra has left the Elder’s Recess and has appeared within the Wildspire Waste.

You’ll then must hunt it down, which yow will discover out extra about in our Monster Hunter: World Teostra information, however the important thing factor about this struggle is that you should utilize the hills to slip down and leap on it to knock it inclined.

Step 2: Complete the Special Assignment “Pandora’s Arena”

After killing the Teostra, you’ll report into the Huntsman who commends you in your efforts. You’ll then hear that one other injured Teostra has entered the sector, so that you’re tasked with killing it as soon as extra. However this isn’t the way it seems.

Taking on this mission requires loads of preparation and luck should you’re tackling it solo. You solely have 15 minutes to drive away Lunastra from the sector after it efficiently repels the Nergigante and permits the injured Teostra to flee. She’s a really indignant beast, however the location she’s in has two traps that may be triggered.

Once you’ve completed the mission “No Remorse, No Surrender”, finding Lunastra exterior of missions must be simpler.

How to struggle Lunastra

There are some objects I’d take into account necessary that you just take with you should you’re taking over Lunastra. Firstly, you must take some Cool Drinks to counter the injury you’ll take when it heats up. It’s additionally very a lot price taking Astera Jerky as Lunastra’s strongest assault – the Supernova – initially does a good bit of chip injury you can totally heal with a single Astera Jerky. Flash pods aren’t as helpful for interrupting assaults as they’re for Teostra. Her Supernova assault will likely be quickly interrupted when the flash pod hits, however that is the one actual have an effect on as she is going to simply go for it once more.

Lunastra has a good few assaults. Its Supernova is the massive one, which it triggers by floating within the air and erupting as soon as to supply flames on the bottom and trigger an insufferable warmth for chip injury, earlier than erupting as soon as extra to take down something within the blast radius. It’s definitely extra highly effective than Teostra’s blast, however the chip injury might be healed with an Astera Jerky and there’s a technique to counter it earlier than it occurs: Crystalbursts. Make certain that in some unspecified time in the future on this struggle you head to the crystal room and decide up some up. This ammunition when it hits Lunastra can interrupt lots of her extra harmful assaults from the air.

She additionally has an aerial cost that may both be dodged or negated with a Crystalburst, in addition to vicious tail swipes, pounces, flamethrowers, and bites. Normally it’s greatest to maintain your distance and solely assault when she leaves herself open, as this ensures you’re not weak to any of her extra damaging ones. She’s similar to Teostra on this respect, however can do a bit extra injury should you get hit.

One very bizarre factor about Lunastra is to do with its flames that seem on the bottom. Let’s say you’ve a fire-based weapon and assault the pockets of flames on the bottom. This will make the patch erupt right into a blue blaze, which for some inexpiable purpose repels ranged weapon photographs. Be cautious of this should you’re utilizing ranged weapons, ensuring that you just discover the gaps within the flames to shoot at Lunastra. Alternatively should you hit the patches with a water-based weapon, they’ll disappear, however provided that they’ve not been hit by a fire-based assault first.

Another interplay you need to be conscious of is when Kushala Daora involves damage your day. The tornadoes it produces when it takes to the skies will decide up the ground-based fires, turning an already annoying assault right into a column of fireside that offers loads of injury to those who run into it. The solely technique to eliminate it’s to fireside a Crystalburst into it, which should you’re following the information to the letter you need to be choosing up at any time when you’ll be able to. Also bear in mind that the Turf War with Nergigante will lead to an eruption from Lunastra, so maintain your distance.
