How to unlock Lagiacrus quest in MH Wilds and fight the new underwater opponent

by

Despite breaking sales records for Capcom, Monster Hunter: Wilds has encountered significant problems that have caused a shift in reception from widespread acclaim to a borderline scandal, with Steam reviews now largely negative. To rebuild player trust, developers are releasing new content, but this also presents challenges as many players struggle to find and access it. Specifically, locating the newly added boss, Lagiacrus, has left some players puzzled. If you too are wondering where to find its lair, read on for the necessary guidance.

How to start the Lagiacrus quest in MH Wilds

It appears the player base of MH Wilds has hit a breaking point due to persistent issues within the game, particularly optimization problems on PC and complications when uninstalling large, high-resolution texture packs. Capcom is addressing these concerns by releasing updates, one of which includes the addition of the Lagiacrus quest. However, some players are uncertain about how to initiate this quest, so we’re here to provide clarification on that topic.

It’s understandable that some players might struggle to initiate the Lagiacrus mission due to its specific prerequisites. Before considering taking on this challenge, here are the conditions you should meet first:

  1. Have your hunter with rank 31 or higher,
  2. Complete “A World Turned Upside Down” main story quest,
  3. Complete “Forest Doshaguma” side quest.

The final item on the list is a task assigned by Erik within the Scarlet Forest. Notably, this same figure initiated the Lagiacrus hunt during “Extra Mission 2: Trembling Blue Currents.” It’s crucial to note that after completing the “Forest Doshaguma” mission, you should either wait or exit and re-enter the area for it to refresh. If this step is skipped, the mission will remain unavailable.

Although it’s not overly difficult to get started, the requirements for the new task might not always be clear. Fingers crossed that the benefits will compensate since some fans prefer aesthetics over high-level equipment. Some even despise the game (and possibly themselves) so much that they install bizarre mods which could become a source of terror. No matter your gaming style, let’s hope this adventure leads you to “The Master of the Seas.” Good hunting!
