Native to the Scarlet Forest, with its distinctive pirouette-like movements and scarlet petals, it is hard to miss the Lala Barina once it sets its eyes on you. The petal-like bristles hides neuroplegic agents, using them against unsuspecting victims to paralyze and prepare for the kill.
How To Beat Lala Barina in Monster Hunter Wilds
When fighting the Lala Barina, it is essential to note its size as well as its speed and agility. Those using heavier weapons will have to bide their time, and it is always easier to wait for the monster to attack and miss, before you go on the offensive.
In terms of attacks, the Lala Barina can use its claws to swipe towards the front, or if you happen to be behind it, it will use its stinger to stab backwards. Otherwise, the creature depends a lot on its florets to blanket the entire arena.
A dependable strategy is to continually target the legs of the Lala Barina, which can cause it to stumble and open up any parts of its body for punishment. Players should always look to target the sitinger and tail, as breaking those will reduce its offensive capabilities significantly, and reduce the number of times it uses its paralyzing petals.
Should you find yourself being bombarded by the florets, do not worry. A single floret is weak, and the paralytic properties only kick in when you have repeated contact. If you have weapons which can cause status ailments, the Lala Barina is surprisingly susceptible to most conditions save for paralysis, so keep up the pressure if you can and let the monster suffer.
As usual, target the wounds when you can with Focus Mode and Focus Strikes. This way, you can bring it down for sustained damage even if you are playing solo.
How To Capture Lala Barina in Monster Hunter Wilds
Just like any other monsters found in Monster Hunter Wilds, the best way to capture the Lala Barina is to bring down its health. Once it is on its last legs, you should prepare either a Shock or Pitfall Trap, and follow the limping monster back to its lair.
Set up your preferred trap, and lure the monster towards the target area. Once it is caught, throw down your Tranq Bombs and within two or three doses, the monster will be captured for good and added to your collection .
