One of the first monsters you encounter in Monster Hunter Wilds is the Lala Barina, a gigantic spider adorned with rose features. Defeating this creature will reward you with new gear. Once you pinpoint its location, you can take advantage of its weaknesses to bring it down using your weapon of choice. If you’re looking to collect essential materials from Lala Barina, it’s important to familiarize yourself with effective farming strategies for a smoother experience.
While many types of attacks will inflict damage on Lala Barina, there are notable exceptions. The monster primarily utilizes Paralysis as its dominant element, meaning attacks using this element will have minimal effectiveness against it. Additionally, when hunting its tougher, Tempered variant later in the game, avoid using Water or Dragon elemental attacks.
Where to Find Lala Barina
Finding the Spider’s Den
Lala Barina can always be found in the Scarlet Forest area, which is one of the primary locations in the game. From your Base Camp, you can traverse the area to locate Lala Barina, identifiable by the rose symbol on your map, which indicates its presence alongside other large monsters. Use Seikret’s auto-travel feature to reach it before it disappears.
Another way to encounter Lala Barina is to complete specific quests set in the Scarlet Forest. As you advance through the main storyline, take on these quests:
- A Stage of Rose and Thorn (1 Star – Main Quest)
- Every Rose… (1 Star – Optional Quest)
- Flower of Eternal Rest (4 Stars – Optional Quest)
- Smithy’s Seal of Quality (4 Stars – Optional Quest)
All these quests are located in the Scarlet Forest, where you can spot red petals that Lala Barina drops, staining the surrounding water. Following these petals eventually leads you to significant red web formations. Trace the webs back to find the entrance to Lala Barina’s den for an exciting encounter either during exploration or a quest hunt.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Lala Barina
Agile Movements and Vulnerable Spots
Taking on Lala Barina is quite a different experience from hunting other monsters, particularly due to its remarkable speed. Predicting Lala Barina’s attacks can be challenging, as it moves with precision akin to a true spider. This spider’s agile nature gives it an elusiveness rarely seen in other monsters like the Quematrice, Doshaguma, or even some flying creatures such as the Rey Dau in Monster Hunter Wilds.
However, Lala Barina is not without its weaknesses. There are several vulnerable spots on this creature, particularly:
- Tail
- Claws (two breakable)
- Petals (breakable)
The long, thin legs of Lala Barina present ideal targets for damage. Additionally, the creature’s elongated stinger tail can be severed, yielding extra material rewards and also removing a threatening aspect of the monster. The front claw mandibles near its mouth are also breakable, providing more opportunities for attack.
Unlike many beasts that are sensitive to specific elemental damages, Lala Barina generally only takes standard damage from various elements like Fire, Thunder, and Ice. This applies equally to Cut, Blunt, and Ammo damage from most tools.
One of the most prominent features of Lala Barina is its large petals that resemble a blossoming rose growing from its back. This petal section occasionally emits Paralysis spores that can stun your character if you encounter too many. While this is a considerable strength of the monster, it also represents a weakness, as you can target the exposed rose while it releases spores to inflict substantial damage.
Defeating Lala Barina
Identify Patterns and Strike Key Areas
A highly effective strategy for defeating Lala Barina involves focusing your attacks on the legs, back, or tail of the creature. This method is likely to yield significant damage and create Open Wounds, which can be destroyed to possibly stagger the monster. With the various weapon options available in Monster Hunter Wilds, you should utilize your weapon’s Focus Strike to target wounds and break parts, thus toppling the creature.
Remember to leverage environmental elements during your battle with Lala Barina. Engaging the monster in turf wars with Dogashuma, utilizing natural traps, and deploying Barrel Bombs while the beast sleeps are all impactful tactics for inflicting high damage.
The tail of Lala Barina is especially vulnerable, taking more damage than other body parts. As you aim for specific areas, observing attack patterns is crucial to avoid unnecessary hits during your hunt. Below are tables detailing Lala Barina’s most common attacks, alongside strategies to counter them:
|
Attack |
Description |
Counter Strategy |

Dodge forward to evade the monster’s front limbs. Alternatively, block or parry if your weapon allows it. |
|
Mandible Swipe |
Lala Barina raises a claw and swiftly swipes at its target. |
Block or evade to one side to avoid the claw’s attack. |
|

Dodge sideways and then attack the exposed tail for significant damage. |
|
Attack |
Description |
Counter Strategy |
|---|---|---|
|
Petal Swarm |
By spinning, Lala Barina scratches at its rose abdomen, releasing petal spores. |
Evade far away or get very close to the monster to avoid the AoE effect of the spores. |
|
Petal Dance |
Lala Barina spins repeatedly, showering bright red petals that can cause paralysis. |
Steer clear of the falling petals, as taking too many will result in paralysis. |
|
Rose Impact |
Lala Barina raises its rose abdomen and crashes its body down twice, releasing paralyzing petals with each slam. |
Block, parry, or dodge toward the monster’s front; getting close to its head helps you avoid slams and falling petals. |
When Lala Barina retreats to its nest after sustaining damage, it will perform a more powerful version of the Petal Dance, utilizing its lair’s webs to disseminate more paralyzing spores. Interrupting Lala Barina during this dance can easily stagger the monster, allowing you to unleash your best attacks against it.
