Tips to defeat him
The main danger when trying to hunt down Somnacanth is that it is a monster that can make you sleepy , an altered state that will expose you to possible combos. So it is worth preparing equipment that protects you against this, in addition to taking energy drinks hunting .
Pay attention to your breaths because they can be produced in several ways:
- Spitting out a blast of breathin a straight line from his position.
- A cone infront of your position.
- A wave of mistthat spreads from his body in a large radius around him.
- It swims around it releasing fog that makes you sleepy.
In addition, it can randomly swim and hold colored shells in its claws that it will use against you. If they are yellow, they will emit a flash that can stun you , if they are red, they will explode to provoke you nitro .
All that we have described are problems that Somnacanth will give you as long as it is located in an area with water . That is why it is highly recommended to try to attract it to the ground , where it performs worse, although it will continue to fight with the rest of its attacks; Heading, sweeping, flapping, and more (he can even fire projectiles with his tail).
If you can’t get it to follow you to the ground, you can always prepare sonic bombs to launch just before it emits its sleeping powder, as this will expose Somnacanth for a few seconds. Try to hit especially its neck and tail with elemental Lightning damage and do not forget to watch its movements well to prevent attacks.
