How to Beat Chatacabra

Chatacabra Monster Fight Tips
Break the Stones on the Arms Attack the Tongue Weak Point Be Wary of Tongue Attacks Dodge the Charge Attack Lure Chatacabra to Wall Fissures

Break the Stones on the Arms

The Chatacabra can occasionally stop attacking to coat its arms in stones and dirt, toughening them up and giving it more attacks. Attack the arms repeatedly to break the minerals off, and stagger the monster.

The newly added Focus Mode can help hunters attack the arms, so be sure to utilize it when aiming to stagger the Chatacabra.

How to Use Focus Mode and Focus Strike

Attack the Tongue Weak Point

The Chatacabra's tongue is one of its main weak points. When it attacks with its tongue, guard against it or dodge, then strike back to hit the tongue while the monster recovers.

Be Wary of Tongue Attacks

Although it is a weak point, the Chatacabra's tongue is capable of extending for longer-reaching attacks, and can be used in a sweeping attack to hit hunters on its sides.

Be wary of its range when attacking from the side, or making space to heal or sharpen, as it may still be able to reach hunters with its tongue.

Dodge the Charge Attack

The Chatacabra can wind up to charge in a direction, heavily damaging hunters in its path. There is a brief wind-up before this charge, so back off once the monster appears to ready itself to run.

Lure Chatacabra to Wall Fissures

In some parts of the area, Chatacabra can get briefly trapped in wall fissures. Lure it into attacking these fissures for it to get stuck. This gives you a decent window for damage.

Set Barrel Bombs for Charge Attacks

Placing or Rolling a Barrel Bomb while the Chatacabra performs its charge attack toward you will cause the Chatacabra to eat the Barrel Bomb. Although this move is a bit impractical, it's fun to do!
