Tips For Capturing Shogun Ceanataur
Before you depart on your quest to capture a Shogun Ceanataur, be sure you have Pitfall and Shock Traps, and Tranq Bombs stocked up. Additionally, Shogun Ceanataur is weak to thunder and fire, so bring a weapon of either of these elements for an easier time reducing its health.
When Shogun Ceanatuar gets low on health, place down a trap and lure the monster into it. As soon as it's ensnared, throw your Tranq Bombs at it to capture it. Once Shogun Ceanataur is captured, the quest will be complete. Return to Elgado and speak with Admiral Galleus to collect your reward.
