You can go in with full lagi and the undertaker lance and you'll be fine. I like messing around, so I usually go in with jaggi+ and a gun hammer. If you have trouble getting Lagi armour, then next I'd go with Rathalos with thunderclap long sword. But if you're one of those many people who can't get a single plate, go with agnaktor, uragaan, or barioth. A fire long sword is fine, but thunder will work wonders for you, and I'd reccomend getting some rust weapons for there dragon element, which is the best you can use on Ceadeus. Doing it with sword and shield is possible, but I don't think you'lll want to take that extra effort when its not needed.
