Funniest monster in the entire series XD. The first cutscene have me in doubts if its tail was actually his pp XD
- Anonymous
this was harder than white fatalis for me, the damn water spraying always seems to hit me, god forbid theres a fire, ice, thunder or dragon subspiecies in rise
- Anonymous
honestly one of the more interesting subspecies by far. Viper is uhh kinda boring and annoying, Fulgur is super cool just wish the turf war with viper was better, Nightshade has an interesting design and attacks but annoying to fight (unless you have sleep resistence), Shrieking Legiana is a pain to fight but cool attacks. Am I forgetting any more subspecies? Tell me in the comments

To be completely honest, I didn't even know people had difficulties with this fight until now.
Annoyances, I can completely understand. But actually struggling with the fight? HOW?

I can't figure out how to dodge the attack when he flies up and shoots water in a spiral pattern
- Anonymous
ok ok capcom took it to far
i think its unrealistic that a monster can shoot water out off his ass

To the people flexing their tiny d**k energy: the fight is not hard, no ****, it’s a ****ing pukei not an elder dragon, the fight is just really annoying because of the aerial water-meat-spin attack, etc.

Bruh was easy as **** I clapped em first try with 25 min left

God bless this late balance to the game. Finally water defense has actual use. Namielle perfects it, a second decent water beast. Before iceborne it was pukei spit, girros spit, barroth mud splash....all incredibly weak and not worth getting water defense for.
- Anonymous
he's so derpy and fun to fight for the first time. I mean the double beam thing is so unique (Namielle included) and really even more stunning than normal Pukei-Pukei
or those trying to cut of the tail, this is how it works.
The tail has 1540 health and in only cutable after getting pukei under 35% health.
If you deal the 1540 damage and pukei is above 35% health, the tail will absorb the 1 damage for the time being, after pukei hits 34% (6404) hp or less you can sever the tail with one hit if you have previously done the 1540 damage.

From my experience, using flash pods on him prevents him from using the tail streams. Focus on doing that and traps to sever that tail pronto, crippled for the rest of the fight

Coral Pukei is easy, why is everyone complaining about him? Just get MR armor and weapons and learn his moves
- Anonymous
For anyone like me who had truly frustrating expirience. DONT FIGHT THIS AND NEXT MONSTERS IN HIGH RANK ARMOUR. DLC one give 2 times more defense...

All people downvoting comments about how bs this monster to fight... I hope you will be well after yours brain cancer treatment. If half of playerbase have problems with exact one single monster... of course it's problem of community and bad design...

Didn't have any trouble during the first encounter in the coral highlands, but it completely wiped the floor (because water, haha-) with me in the arena. Multiple times the Pukei-Pukei hit me with its water bubbles and almost always followed up with a water beam attack that hit me just as I tried to get up. Because I didn't know its moves that well yet, I never saw it telegraph the water beam attacks and they come out instantly.
I partially blame the flat empty space in the arena which is perfect for the water beams, but still - did not expect to struggle that much against a Pukei-Pukei.
