Weaknesses

The Ceanataur is a crustacean-like monster. It has a shell on its back and claws that it can inflict massive damage with. These are the spots on the creature players need to target.

Weapons from the Blunt category work best when attacking the Ceanataur’s claws and shells in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. If it is an Elemental weapon, ensure it does Thunder damage for the highest efficiency.

Switch out to a Slash category weapon when going for hits on its exposed body. Its legs, torso, and head will take a ton of damage from a Slashing sword. It is also best that it does Thunder damage if its an Elemental weapon.

Tactics

The Ceanataur is extremely aggressive. Players need to watch for its rear back. This is an indication that it will begin attacking. Use that as an opportunity to time its attacks and dodge.

Strike its claws enough and they will break. This will take away its broad swinging attack that can cause a bleeding effect on the player and party members. Destroying the shell works in a similar manner.

The dig difference is that it will find another shell and modify its attack pattern depending on the new shell it finds. While it is a dangerous creature, the strategy is as simple as focusing on delivering attacks whilst avoiding its onslaught.
