Heal the bleed status by crouching for a short time or eating Sushifish.

Heal Waterblight with Nulberry

Aside from Bleed, Shogun Ceanataur also inflicts Waterblight by ejecting a jet of water from its back. Take some Nulberries to cure Waterblight.

Nulberry Location: How to Get and Effects

Stay Aggressive to Topple Shogun Ceanataur

It is very easy to topple Shogun Ceanataur so always go into the offensive to maximize the time it is down. It won't come easy though, as the monster will also go all out on you!

Attack After the Claw Impaling Move

This one attack where Shogun Ceanataur impales its claws on the ground will leave it open for successive attacks. Evade this move then switch into the offensive as Shogun Ceanataur tries hard to pull its claws from the ground!

Break the Shell for Another Weakpoint

Your attacks may not be as effective as they should when hitting the shell on its back but hit it enough and it will break - exposing a weak point that you can exploit afterwards!

It burrows on the ground after a while though and it will re-emerge with a brand new shell so try to be super aggressive before that!

Shogun Ceanataur Attacks and Moves

Clawblade Swipes

Shogun Ceanatur will use its long, sharp claws to inflict pain and make Hunters bleed. Know what some of the most common moves look like so you would know how to deal with them.

Clawblade Swipes Attack Variations
Sideways Claw Swipe: Shogun Ceanataur will move sideways and approach a target then unloads a swipe attack. This move is very easy to telegraph as the monster will move first before striking. Reposition accordingly to avoid this attack.
Half-Moon Claw Swipes: A quick 180 degree attack that punishes Hunters that stays on its back for a long time. This move always come in two's so careful not Wirefalling back to the monster until the second one's done. Always expect this attack to come whenever you're attacking Shogun Ceanataur's back. It's quick and very hard to evade so try counterattacking instead.

Burrowing Strike

Burrowing Strike Attack Information
Burrowing Strike: Shogun Ceanataur will burrow itself from the ground and try to reemerge claw-first while targeting the Hunter. Time your evades properly to when it is about to emerge from the ground.

Impaling Claw Strike

Impaling Claw Strike Attack Information
Impaling Claw Strike: A strong downward strike with its sharp claws. This will often leave Shogun Ceanataur exposed to attack while trying to get its claws out of the ground. Evade this move properly then you'll have a short window of opportunity to attack. Don't waste it!

Water Jet

Water Jet Attack Information

Water Jet: Shogun Ceanataur blasts a jet of water from its back targeting Hunters that are far away. It will then sweep from right to left, leaving no area safe. Shogun Ceanataur only does this move when it has a wyvern shell on its back. Destroy its shell and this attack would cease. Also, when you see it charging for a water jet attack, move towards Shogun Ceanataur's side - it's the only place it can't hit.

Advancing Cross Chop

Advancing Cross Chop Attack Information
Advancing Cross Chop: A fast, forward cross chop using its sharp claws. This has a huge hitbox so try performing an emergency evade or counterattacking to mitigate the damage.

Sharpening Strike

Sharpening Strike Attack Information
Sharpening Strike: A powerful downward strike after honing its own claws. The move is quick but has a really obvious tell: the sharpning motion. Evade at all costs using emergency evade or counterattack if you're feeling it.
