Notes
General Notes
- Lucent Nargacuga has a much harder head and chest than its cousins. Only weapons with Purple sharpness can successfully cut through the head and chest without bouncing off, unless the player has the skill "Mind's Eye" equipped.
- However, when enraged, both head and chest do not reflect weapons with sharpness of Blue or better.
- The spikes from its tail inflict Poison.
- Lucent Nargacuga's roar has a much wider range than its other two counterparts, but still only requires standard earplugs to block.
- Lucent Nargacuga can be carved 4 times.
- Unlike Chameleos, Lucent Nargacuga is capable of rendering itself completely invisible while it performs its "Strafe" or "Back Jump"-maneuver, except for the red eye trails during Rage Mode.
- The fumes from Dung Bombs and Felvine Bombs are retained when Lucent Nargacuga is invisible, so hitting one with a Dung Bomb or Felvine Bomb will help players locating it when it is invisible.
