How to Defeat Thunder Serpent Narwa

Offense is The Best Defense

While the Thunder Serpent Narwa comes with some very powerful special attacks, staying on the defensive will only prolong the fight for no reason. Thunder Serpent Narwa can be knocked down by dealing enough damage to any body part, so attacking whenever possible will allow you to knock the monster down temporarily to unleash your most powerful combos. Never back down!

Heavy Artillery and Thundersacs

During the fight against Thunder Serpent Narwa, you will also be able to use a variety of heavy artillery like Ballistae and Cannons. These Hunting Installations will only be available for a short amount of time, so you need to be quick to use them. Also, make sure to use them to hit the monster’s Thundersac, which is weaker than usual when it is glowing.

Not so Divine Ire

Thunder Serpent Narwa Divine Ire is a powerful attack that can deal tons of damage, but it is also an attack that leaves the monster somewhat exposed, as it summons four stone platforms with four cannons while it is preparing to unleash this technique. Use the cannons to knock down the Elder Dragon and prevent it from unleashing its powerful ultimate attack.
