Tips For Capturing Lagombi

After you've undertaken any of these quests, your next objective is to capture the monster. Lagombi is weak to Fire, so bring a strong weapon with this element to weaken the monster. Then, when the blue capture-ready symbol appears, prepare a Pitfall or Shock Trap near the weakened Lagombi. When it is ensnared in the trap, throw two Tranq Bombs at it to successfully capture it. Be sure not to attack the monster too much after it is ready to be captured, as you may risk killing the monster.
