Thunder Serpent Narwa Attack Patterns

Spread Beams

Narwa will fire multiple beams from its Thundersac that will spread out in a wide cone, similar to Rakna-Kadaki's web spray. There's plenty of movement room to dodge the beams so stay mobile.

Lightning Rings

Through out the fight Narwa will shoot expanding rings of lighting in various directions and heights. There will be raised areas to stand on to avoid taking damage, or you can use wirebugs to jump out of the way.

Enraged Lighting Coils

When Narwa is enraged it will generate much larger lighting rings directly overhead before dropping them one by one from the center outward. Once the first coil drops he center will become a safe zone otherwise keep your distance.

Charged Tail Slam

When Narwa's tail sparks up it will then slam it down and the impact area will explode. This attack will immediately create a high raised platform at Narwa's stomach and should be taken advantage of as a damage window.

Charged Thunder Cannon

Narwa's maw will glow before firing a destructive beam of energy in a straight line. The area's struck by the beam will also explode afterwards so be careful when dodging.

Lightning Spikes

During the artillery phases Narwa will fire moving spikes of lighting along side lighting ring attacks. If you're using a ballista be sure to guard.

Thunder Bomb

Narwa will occasionally fire a ball of lightning that will explode after expanding slightly. This attack can also be followed up by lightning rings so be careful of your positioning.

Spark Blasts

The ground will light up with sparks before suddenly exploding. This attack can be difficult to dodge because of its speed, but the sparks telegraph where the explosions will occur.

Ultimate: Condensed Ball Lightning

Narwa will create a series of raised platforms before charging and firing a purple lightning orb at the ground. Use the platforms to survive!
Any hunters touching the ground during the explosion will be instantly knocked out.

How to Beat Thunder Serpent Narwa

Make Use of Silkbugs and Platforms

One of the key's to surviving Narwa's numerous attacks is the use of wirebugs and the raised platforms. Silkbugs can get to the platforms or out of danger, and the platforms themselves will occasionally allow you to directly attack Narwa's tail and stomach.

Use the Artillery

Several times through the encounter Narwa will raise several stone platforms. Some of these platforms will hold Ballistae or Cannons. The platforms will only be up for a short time but deal tons of damage to Narwa. Doing enough damage with the artillery can stun Narwa allowing you to attack its weak points directly

Stun Narwa During Cannon Phase

Narwa will sometimes curl into a ball and charge electricity in the center of the field. During this there will be cannons on the surrounding platforms. Dealing enough damage from the cannons can knock Narwa out of the air opening it up for direct attacks.

Use The Dragonator

The wall of rock beneath the Coral Palace is equipped with a huge Dragonator that will deal heavy damage. The range is long enough to reach Narwa if its in the center of the of the field.

Use the Splitting Wyvernshot

The Coral Palace field also comes equipped with at Spitting Wyvernshot just like in Rampage Quests. Use it as soon as possible to deal massive damage.
