After you’ve traversed through Chuggler’s Swamp and Slarragon Forest on Stellaris Prime to track down the elusive Hognork, it’s time to scan, stagger, and lasso the aggressive creature. This guide will walk you through all the necessary steps to do just that, so you can begin your research on it!
How to Stagger and Lasso a Hognork
Once you’ve spotted the Hognork in the Cliffs of Abaddoon, press the down button and hold to scan it and collect all the info on it. As soon as the Hognork spots you, it’ll start getting aggressive. He’ll try to come for you, opening his big mouth—probably to harm or eat you—so be careful.
Start shooting at the Hognork with your gun continuously. The inside of his mouth is his weak point, and he opens it quite a lot when going after you, so shoot as much as possible and he’ll eventually stagger and pass out.
Once the Hognork’s passed out, press and hold the “□” button to take out your lasso, then aim it at the Hognork and try going for his horn. Hold the “□” button to pull the Hognork towards you, and it’ll be added to your bag and available in your computer for research purposes. Then, simply head home and start your research on the aggressive creature.
Killed several Hognarks following all the advice above, not once have I staggered one.
