This quest introduces another large monster: The Royal Ludroth.

Like how Great Jaggis are land-based and how Qurupecos are air-based, Great Ludroths, like their female underlings, are water-based.

Like lions, this massive male has a great mane, spongy, at that, that gives him his strength and the ability to shoot watery mucus at hunters. Getting hit by this causes Waterblight, which makes it harder for your Stamina to recover.

Overall, it's good at fighting on land, but underwater, it's better. You can damage the mane to make it look thinner and unhealthier, which will usually force him to tread back into water to heal. You can also hurt his head, and maybe even cut his tail off.

If he is underwater, you can probably force him to leave it if you're on land and he's still trying to kill you instead of running away.

Before this video, I have actually failed this quest from fainting from this beast too many times. This is also why there's no special introduction for the Great Ludroth: Because it was already played before now.

To make up, here's a trailer for the game that shows the introduction of him:

I blame this on not knowing how to handle him at the time. I switched out my "Sword & Shield" weapon for a pretty good Hammer weapon. The spin attack you can unleash with this hammer will tear though several monsters faster than a small sword, including the Royal Ludroth.

I also beat both Subquests, one of them having you deliver a Wyvern Tear, and the other having you kill 5 of the smaller female Ludroths.

Hammers are definitely much more powerful than the Sword & Shield combo, but their weight makes them heavier for a hunter to swing, so it's not as easy being defensive or evasive with it.
