Strategy
The cobalt lavaback hides underground and strikes from out of sight with surprise attacks. However, the key is to remain clam when it disappears from view, and scan your surroundings for signs of where it might reappear. The kemono is vulnerable to attack in the brief moment after it bursts out of hiding, and its skin is softer than that of the regular lavaback, too. Take note of that, and with atrition, the hunt can be yours.

Prepare Gear for the Hunt

Best Gear for Cobalt Lavaback

The best gear you can get for this hunt is the Lavaback's armor set and the Fumebeak's weapon. The full armor set gives you Fire Resistance and the weapon allows you to build up the poison ailment against the Cobalt Lavaback which is one of its weaknesses.

Upgrade Tsukumo

Upgrading your Tsukumo will greatly help for this hunt, as it assists you better with its utilities and increases the number of karakuri threads you can carry. From our experience, this hunt requires mastery of karakuri, so having more set ups will greatly help.

Utilize Bulwark and Pounder Karakuri

The Cobalt Lavaback has a number of fast charging attacks which you can exploit by setting the bulwark karakuri to halt the attack and stagger the Cobalt Lavaback. This kemono also has attack patterns that have intervals, you can use this time for setting the pounder Karakuri to deal extra damage against the Cobalt Lavaback.

Target Its Head and Body

The softest part of a Cobalt Lavaback is its head, followed by its body. Targeting these areas frequently would break them and would ultimately weaken the Cobalt Lavaback.

Time Your Dodges

The dodge timing for the Cobalt Lavaback's attacks are much harder than that of other Kemonos encountered as it combines both mobility and power in its attacks, making it harder to predict or observe.
