Battle[]
A nagarani can be found inside a pit in Crestholm Channels. The only access to this pit is by falling down a slope; upon landing, Noctis will take considerable damage unless he presses square right as he is about to hit the ground, and thus it is best to quickly escape the combat area to recover HP and to wait until the rest of the party arrives. The ladder to escape the pit is located above the combat zone, but the nagarani must be defeated to interact with it. After being defeated, the nagarani is replaced with bussemands in this area in future encounters.
Another nagarani supplements an attack by three red giants in Costlemark Tower if the player fails the cube maze three times. This difficult battle will repeat if the player fails the cube maze again.
In Insomnia, one can be fought just outside of "LR Citadel Station - Esterway Park" lodging. Another one can be fought at the intersection east of "LR Citadel Station - Exit 5D" lodging. There are two that can be fought at the same time south of "LR Citadel Station" lodging, but may be avoided by running through the nearby alley and heading north.
Like all naga-type enemies, nagarani's attacks are all physical. As well as being capable of healing itself if left unstaggered for too long below 25% HP, it can inflict Stone and Toad. Nagarani takes increased damage from swords, shields and the lightning element.
Strategy[]
The Earth and Moon Pendants prevent Stone and Toad, respectively; if the player does not have enough accessories for the party, the Gold Needle and Maiden's Kiss items will cure Stone and Toad, respectively. Drinking a Jetty's (which costs 50 gil) at a Crow's Nest located at an outpost will also provide a temporary buff that prevents Toad.
Noctis's weapons can be infused with lightning via Ignis's Enhancement Technique for increased damage, and his Overwhelm Technique gives the party the opportunity to perform multiple powerful Deathblows while invulnerable during the animation. Gladiolus's Dawnhammer Technique is a faster alternative to Overwhelm, providing high damage from both Gladiolus and Noctis. The best way to avoid a prolonged battle is to finish it off quickly once its health hits a quarter, as otherwise it might heal itself.

Etymology[]
Naga (Sanskrit: नाग, Nāgá) is a deity of entity taking the form of a great snake—specifically the King Cobra—in Hinduism and Buddhism. For female counterparts, they're called nagi.
Rani in Hindi/Sanskrit means "queen". Hence, effectively translating Nagarani to "Snake Queen"
