Going after Lunagaron the first time is no small task. Depending on its stance, Lunagaron will have different attacks to hurt Hunters with. If it is on all fours, it will be covered in ice. If it is on its hind legs, it will swing at Hunters with its arms and razor-sharp claws.

Tips on How to Take Down Lunagaron
First note that Lunagaron has two forms, as we mentioned before. Overall, you will see Lunagaron walk around the maps on all fours but will fight you on its hind legs. However, it does not stick to either stance throughout the entire fight, giving it speed advantage to watch out for.
When it is on all fours, it covers itself in Ice, which not only protects the monster from your attacks but also potentially hurts Hunters with Iceblight. That is why we recommend you bright Nulberries in your pack when you fight this beast. Don’t waste your time rolling around and wasting stamina, especially on Master Rank.
Lunagaron will hold in its Ice form for just a bit, so wail on it with your weapon of choice, knocking off pieces of its ice to make the monster fall and turn on its side, exposing its weak spot (the abdomen).
When it gets back up, it will go into rampage mode so watch out for its sharp claws as they do massive damage no matter what armor you wear. This tough, but fair boss is one you will take down easily once you learn its attack patterns.
