Who’s the Baby Dragon of the Elder Dragons in Monster Hunter: World? (Spoiler: It’s Still Gonna Burn You)
So, you’re jumping into Monster Hunter: World, huh? Brave choice. You’ve heard about Elder Dragons. They are not typical fire-breathing lizards. These beasts are natural disasters with scales and teeth.
Now, which Elder Dragon is the easiest? If you want a cuddle buddy in dragon form, this game is not for you. But if you’re curious about the Elder Dragon fight that might not destroy your controller, let’s talk about Lunastra.
Lunastra: “Easiest” Elder Dragon – Emphasis on the Quotes
Before you rush in with your Great Sword, let’s clarify: “easiest” for Elder Dragons means a face full of lava is the “mildest” tan. Lunastra is still an Elder Dragon. She will send you back to camp faster than you can say “potion.”
However, among her more intimidating peers, Lunastra has a quirk. This makes her a tad more manageable. Emphasis on “tad.”
Playing with Fire (Literally): Lunastra’s Special Ability
Lunastra can turn the area around her into a blazing inferno. Imagine stepping into an oven while it tries to claw your face off. That’s her aura. Get too close without a plan, and you will take damage. She has a ‘do not touch’ sign, written in fire.
The trick is, this aura is highly flammable. Like, bonfire-in-a-fireworks-factory flammable.
If you act smart, you can use this to your advantage. Fire can be fought with…more fire? Fire can also be dealt with using other elements.
A highly flammable aura? Water is the opposite of fire. Ice works too. Bring weapons that exploit water or ice. Watch her fiery temper cool for a moment.
Lunastra may be the “easiest” Elder Dragon. But remember, this is all relative. Prepare carefully, exploit her weakness, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll survive and get some sweet loot.
Good luck, Hunter. You will need it.
