Monsters in Monster Hunter World (MHW) are hostile creatures that inhabit the  Locations of the world. Players set off in Quests to find and defeat these beasts in order to complete Guild and Village requirements,as well as to harvest valuable Materials and Carvings

Monsters have unique Weaknesses, drops and rewards, that are listed on their individual pages. Make sure to check them out in order to optimize your Equipment (Armor, Weapons and Charms) and refurbish your Supply Box with items useful for your upcoming Quest!

What are Tempered Monsters in MH: Worlds?

Tempered monsters are a special type of quest that appear in the endgame, these monsters deal a lot more damage than their regular counterparts. As you level up and augment your HR you will begin unlocking tempered versions of more powerful monsters until finally you fight tempered elder dragons. When you fell one of these beasts, you will receive Streamstones. Higher level monsters may even drop a Sullied Streamstone, these stones allow you to augment your equipment and give you the chance to min-max your endgame gear for the best performance. Refer to our Augmentations and Upgrades for a full guide on upgrading your gear.

How to capture Monsters in Monster Hunter

When doing a hunt you may choose to Capture a beast instead of the regular carving, this option will end the quest quicker as it does not require you to kill it. You can begin a capture when the objective reaches a certain threshold of its health pool (this varies from monster to monster), when it's ready to be captured it will start to limp away and the capture icon will appear on the minimap. To capture the monster when it reaches that stage you must use Tranq Bombs or Tranq Ammo for the Bowgun and then use a trap on it. One may do this method instead of killing the monster for a quick end to the quest, and to receive a bigger number of items rewards. The downside to this method is that you will not receive items from the carving reward pool and will lose the opportunity to receive a specific broken part not obtained while fighting.

    • My first ever monster hunter game and i had a blast playing this game for hours, the people i've met were super cool, the monsters were amazingly challenging and fun to play, even if some are tough, we learn from out mistakes and get better later on, it may not be for everyone and thats fine, enjoy what you want to play, i didn't like it myself when i first played it due to how clunky it felt at first, but the more i experimented with different weapons, the more i had fun, thats how i figured out i love the hammer a lot, thank you Monster Hunter World Iceborne, i had so much fun playing

                  Can people stop putting there complaints here? jeus christ. Listen, I know Barioth was hard and I know shreking legianna can suck my Palicos ****. But that dosen´t mean you should put your complaints here. A better thing to do is to give tips because thats whats this wiki is for. And its weird to, like after your done playing you search this wiki up and you type your stupid complaints in. I would like to look in the comments and see people giving me tips not f&ck this monster. so please stop putting your complaints here (P.S yes Im aware that this is a compaint about complaints)

                    Guys, the releases you guys said is incorrect and some correct. Seregios, Chameleos, Oroshi Kirin, Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis, White Fatalis, Rusted Kushala Daora, Chthonic Zorah Magdaros, and I believe that there was this bird wyvern or elder dragon, Kulu Mazula are coming to iceborne.

                      I thought this was a friendly community. But there have been comments expressing elitism, racism, homophobic commentary and a complete disregard of others feelings and cries for help. These people are not the ones I would like to hunt with. They’ll only blame you if something goes wrong, and they will never help in any positive way. I have no face here. No voice. No reason for any of you to agree with what I’m bringing up. This website allows you to post the most vile and obnoxious commentary while remaining anonymous. And this is why there is no safety-net. If people can’t figure out who you are you might not be able to stop being an elitist piece of sh*t. And if you don’t grow up, you’ll forever remain a waste of life. All I’m asking is for all of us to treat each other with respect. Otherwise the entire gaming-community will just be looked down upon as nothing more than a children’s playground. Of all wiki pages regarding Monster Hunter, none have had it worse than Alatreon’s wiki page. For no reason were trolls and elitist invading that comment section to make everyone’s time there so much worse. Its sad how far people will go just to make each other feel bad. Thats one of the saddest aspects of humanity, in my opinion. I probably won’t come back to this website for a while. The toxic comments won’t end. I’ll just play the game. Enjoy myself. Doing exactly what it was made for. To have fun.

                        Well, its confirmed. Frostfang Barioth. He’s coming after Alatreon, but since he already had his own wikipage I guess Frostfang needs his own. I’m just dissapointed that Frostfang Barioth will only be availabe through an event quest. I’m not a fan of that. Also, will Alatreon even be possible solo? Because that ultimate attack, Escaton Judgement, will happen every time he starts switching elements, and its even worse than Lunastra’s nova. I’m afraid, scared even that this won’t be as fun as we might have anticipated.

                          I wish they added the other 3 fated 4 besides just glavenus, and it would make sense to add them in, there are perfect habitats for each one. What makes glavenus so special?

                                I’m finding a lot of toxic comments saying how “bad” most of these monsters are... I don’t think angry 12 year olds should be playing this. Let them just stick with crappy Fortnite you know? Its like a pacifier. Works for that loser Ninja.

                                    I designed monsters like Arablos, Lerphagante, Garijho, Wulfagaan, Heranielle, Ragnarok Kulve Taroth and more and I wish that they come to mhw iceborne right now.

                                          Some good rules of thumb for soloing monsters. First, always remove palico, since the monster isn't targeting you primarily, It will lead to unpredictability and inconsistency. With that said, the player's main goal is always to look for any safe openings or positions to be at, may take a few tries but if you're doing it right, you'll know when you can attack and cannot. These openings always exist whether it seems like the monster ( Rajang ) has absolutely no openings. These area's can be very small and very short, but are consistent and can lead to consistent damage. For skills, your only real concern should be getting 100% affinity or as close as possible, the more consistent it is the better. From there, the way you implement these all come down to your weapon.
