Quick Combat Tips
- Aurora Somnacanth is weakest at its head but note that it is also where most of its attacks will come from. It may be difficult to reach its head when it is standing on its tail. In such cases, focus your attacks on its tail instead.
- Take advantage of Aurora Somnacanth's long animations and recovery times for certain attacks as it is left vulnerable for long periods.
- Different from regular Somnacanth, it cannot put you to sleep, but its most dangerous attack is the frost beam which can reach long distances. Its beam can be dodged by jumping high in the opposite direction the beam is swinging at.
- Come equipped to resist Ice damage and perform fire damage. Blunt weapons are also recommended.
MH Rise Aurora Somnacanth Attacks & Moveset
Claw Slash - Somnacanth raises one claw to the side and then lunges forward, slashing in a large arc in front of it. Deals moderate damage and knocks players away. Dodge towards its other claw to evade the attack.
Rage Scream - Aurora Somnacanth makes a sharp scream stunning enemies at proximity, interrupting their attacks or combos.
Slam - Aurora Somnacanth stands on its tail, twisting and rotating until jumps on a target doing a frontflip and hits the ground.
Ice Breath - Aurora Somnacanth stands on its tail and fires a beam of frost through its mouth pointing to the ground inflicting Ice damage to closeby targets around the monster.
Sweeping Ice Breath - Aurora Somnacanth raises its head facing either to the left or the right as it makes a hissing noise. It then breathes out a beam of frost in a slow, sweeping motion to the opposite side that covers a long distance. When Aurora Somnacanth postures for the attack, dash towards its side or back and begin attacking as the breath animation is very long, leaving the monster vulnerable. Take care not to get in the breath's path. You can use a vertical Wiredash to leap over the breath in case getting to the monster's side is not an option.
Tail Untwist - Twists its body, and then untwists to whip its targets with its tail.
Tail Whip - Jumps to a target and quickly makes a spin to to hit the target with its tail.
Ice Shake - It starts shaking its head, while frost vapor comes out of its gills and suddenly covers its body in a frost explosion that covers its body. This attack can be also performed by the monster while its standing on its tail.
Head Whip - Somnacanth raises its head, dangling its giant head fin behind it. It then swings its entire head, whipping its fin in a very large arc to deal moderate damage and knock players away.
Frost Charge - It stands on its tail and moves awkwardly to the side while perfermoing a bit of melee damage to anything on its way and then suddenly attacks a charging its mouth exploding the frost charge to the ground.
Ground Dash - Aurora Somnacanth lowers its head while making a snarling noise and then dashes sliding along the ground in a movement like a snake moving quickly and turning around to then perform another attack as it finishes dashing around.
Ice Blast - Aurora Somnacanth stands on its tail waving its head with its mouth opened upwards and charges Frost energy for a short moment and then suddenly shots the ground in front of it causing 3 lines of frost explosions.
