Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin allows players to team up with iconic creatures known as Monsties to explore a vibrant world and tackle tough challenges. Among these powerful beasts is Lagiacrus, the legendary Lord of the Seas, famed for its devastating electrical assaults and massive aquatic presence. Securing this formidable leviathan for your roster requires a solid understanding of where it roams and how to successfully claim its egg.
Where to Find Lagiacrus in the Wild
To begin your hunt for Lagiacrus, you must progress through the main story until you unlock the expansive Pomore Garden region located within Lamure. This scenic coastal area serves as the primary habitat where the thunderous leviathan can be seen patrolling near the water lines. Spotting one in the overworld is relatively straightforward due to its massive blue body and distinct glowing spikes.
Engaging a wild Lagiacrus in battle requires a well-prepared team capable of handling its shifting combat tendencies and high elemental damage. Defeating this creature in the open field increases your chances of making it retreat to its nearby nesting ground. A successful retreat marks a den on your map, providing a guaranteed opportunity to gather its valuable resources.
How to Obtain a Lagiacrus Egg
While defeating the monster in battle is a reliable strategy, exploring Rare Monster Dens throughout the Pomore Garden area is another excellent method to find its egg. These golden-tinted caverns feature a significantly higher spawn rate for rare creature rewards compared to standard locations. Navigating these dens efficiently allows you to search multiple nests in a relatively short period.
When interacting with the nest, look closely for an egg featuring a distinct ocean-blue color pattern accented with bright yellow lightning streaks. Navirou will usually comment on the weight and smell of the egg to help you determine its potential quality and gene structure. Once you secure the correct pattern, safely exit the area and head back to the nearest village stable to hatch your new companion.
Hatching and Utilizing Your New Monstie
Hatching the leviathan egg grants you access to a powerful combat partner that excels in lightning-based elemental attacks and sturdy defensive strategies. Lagiacrus possesses excellent base stats that make it a reliable asset for both difficult boss encounters and endgame multiplayer content. Its unique genetic slots can be further optimized using the Rite of Channeling to inherit skills from other thunder creatures.
Beyond its prowess in tactical turn-based battles, this Monstie offers excellent utility during map exploration due to its specialized riding actions. It features the Swim ability, which allows riders to cross deep bodies of water seamlessly to reach previously inaccessible islands and hidden treasure chests. Investing time into training this creature ensures your team remains highly versatile across all terrains.
