I always thought the Pukei-Pukei was a monster that didn’t live up to its potential, but Monster Hunter World Iceborne’s Coral Pukei-Pukei only served to highlight just how dangerous it could have been even further. Its tail can eject gallons of water in a jet stream. This makes the Coral Pukei-Pukei different enough to warrant needing its own strategies to defeat it.

Those new to hunting monsters, or if you just need to find a particular monster guide to get up to Hunter Rank 16 - needed to start the Iceborne expansion - should head over to ourMonster Hunter World guidehub for a plethora of guides. Once you’re ready to begin the expansion, you’ll find a few hunters gathered near the gate in Astera.
Coral Pukei-Pukei weaknesses and resistances
As for the biology of the Coral Pukei-Pukei, it seems especially vulnerable to bladed weapons, particularly to the tail. Since the tail is severable, you’ll want to chop it off as soon as you can. Thanks to the Clutch Claw, both the wings and head are vulnerable when its flying, so you’ll be able to break them for more parts. The torso may not be a weakness, but it is breakable.
How to hunt Coral Pukei-Pukei
Its melee based attacks are largely the same as those the regular Pukei-Pukei would use. The only real difference here is that they hit a little harder than even the Master Rank Pukei-Pukei. Find out more about the regular Pukei-Pukei’s melee attacks in ourMonster Hunter: World Pukei-Pukeiguide.
Avoiding Coral Pukei-Pukei’s water attacks
While severing its tail is the key to winning this fight as it cuts off most of its more dangerous water-based attacks,don’t under-estimate the aqua jets and globs of waterthat come from its mouth. You can normally tell this is about to happen when the Coral Pukei-Pukei’s head shakes around a little bit beforehand.
There are a few other things to watch out for in this fight, so here are a few more tips:
