Guide: Ceadus is the final boss monster of MH3. He lives underneath moga village in a series of ancient ruins. Caedus resembles a cross between a cow and a whale, with an overgrown right horn that covers his eye. When the quest is first initiated, the player will be shown a clip of Caedus breeching and swimming under the base camp. The hunter then must give chase. As soon as you enter area one, Ceadus will begin swimming. Swim up and attack his mane in axe mode with your switch axe. Be careful not to get hit when he sweeps his head back and forth. Also, any type of contact with his fins will result in a small amount of damage while he is swimming. It is not nessecary to paintball Ceadus, as he follows a set path. continue attacking his mane while he swims to area 2. Once there, Ceadus will remain stationary, giving you a chance to break his mane. Once his mane is broken, Ceadus will begin swimming faster then you can keep up with. He will hipcheck the wall between area two and three to allow access. Once you reach area three, you are shown a clip of ceadus unleashing a laser-tyoe blast of water from his mouth. His organs will also start to glow blue. Attack Ceadus, either in axe or sword mode, until his organs glow red. Once they do, swim up to the orange ledge and wait by the switch. When Ceadus is by the ledge, hit the switch. A dragonator will come out and pierce caedus. Take advantage of his temporary immonility to swim to the ledge with the ballista. Gather ammo and mount the ballista. If his hirn is not broken, aim for it. If the dragonator broke his horn, simply hit him with the shots. Continue to hit him with your weapon or balista until the dragonator is ready again. Wait for him to swim up, then fire the dragonator for the second time. Once this has hit, return to the ballista and fire at him until a message flashes up;

" The elder dragon has left the city, wounded"

Once this comes up, swim over and carve ceadus's horn. Gather ballista shots while waiting to go back to the city.

Notes:

Once caedus reaches area two, a short cut in the base camp will open up to the left of the tent. When he swims to three, a short cut is on the ledge, the the right of the tent.

It is neccesary to break Ceadus' horn before he will leave.

Caedus' hip-check causes dragonblight which lowers affinity. His water blast causes waterblight, similar to the water ball attack of the Royal Ludroth.

Dragon weapons work the best on Ceadus. If you do not have a Dragon weapon, use a weapon with a high thunder power.
