Deviljho is a Brute Wyvern in Monster Hunter World (MHW). イビルジョー (恐暴竜) in Japanese. It was added in a free update on March 22, 2018 (Console) & September 6,2018(PC) and was not part of the game's original launch. 

 

A monster that must feed constantly and will devour anything in its path, even feeding on the largest of monsters with its massive jowls.

Deviljho Details & Locations in MHW

Deviljho will invade 6★ Quests, 7★ Quests, and high rank expeditions once players have completed the investigation for the “??? Rathian” in the main story. If you are going along with the expedition method to find him, keep in mind that he will leave the locale within a certain amount of time, thus making it suboptimal to try to kill or capture Deviljho during the expedition for the first time. When players load up they will get a prompt saying that Deviljho is found somewhere in the world. For the fastest way to find it:

  • Load up your world map and check all the locations for a ??? Monster
  • If there is no ??? Monster, head to any area.
  • Once in that area, bring up your world map again and check again to see if it appeared
  • Once you find ??? Monster, head into that area.

It's best to collect its tracks and capture it but slaying it is fine too.  Note that you do not have to hunt it at this point, collecting tracks is enough. After players have done so, head back to Astera to check in with the jovial researcher for a cutscene; this will unlock the Deviljho special assignment. Players will have to hunt a Deviljho in Ancient Forest. Hunters will be able to acquire the new mantle, Dragonproof Mantle (Increases dragon damage while increasing dragon resistance), after completing the mission.

  • Dragon Breath: Deviljho unleashes a powerful dragon-element breath attack in a sweeping motion in front of it, dealing substantial damage to hunters caught in its path.
  • Dragon Bite Combo: Deviljho executes a series of vicious bites, often targeting hunters in front of or beneath it. This combo can cause significant damage and may inflict the Dragonblight status.
  • Dragon Slam: Deviljho lifts its upper body and slams it down, causing a shockwave on impact. Hunters need to evade the slam and avoid the resulting area-of-effect damage.
  • Dragon Tail Swipe: A sweeping tail attack with an extended range. Deviljho can perform this move to cover a large area and catch hunters attempting to flank it.
  • Dragon Stomp: Deviljho lifts one of its hind legs and stomps the ground, creating a tremor effect. Hunters need to be cautious and time their dodges to avoid the tremor.
  • Dragon Pin: Deviljho grabs a hunter with its mouth, inflicting continuous damage. Teammates must act quickly to rescue the pinned hunter by attacking Deviljho or using certain items.
  • Dragon Slam Combo: Deviljho combines multiple slams in quick succession, creating a chain of shockwaves. Evading or blocking these attacks is crucial for survival.
  • Dragon Grab: Deviljho grabs a large monster in its mouth and swings it around before releasing it. Hunters should steer clear during this powerful maneuver to avoid being hit.
  • Breath Beam Attack: Deviljho releases a concentrated dragon-element beam in a straight line. This long-range attack requires hunters to be aware of their positioning and swiftly dodge or block.
  • Dragon Jump: Deviljho jumps into the air and attempts to land on hunters. Evading this attack is essential to avoid taking substantial damage from the impact.

      Why does the female armor have boob physics? Why out of all the armor sets is deviljhos one of the few that have it

        the tail-eating is a lie. It's been known to be a lie for a long time. Literally does not happen even as far back as his first appearance in a game.

        • Anonymous

          he does not in fact eat his own tail. This is a franchise-spanning lie that the devs themselves are in on.

            Jho can actually kill other monsters! The part about the Fanged Wyverns throw animation is true, as I saw it kill Tobi Kadachi with it. My friend loves experimenting with monsters in this game, so I asked him if we could do some experiments on Jho. We put him in the arena, and he said pick a monster. I picked Azure Rathalos, and we watched the fight commence. We used a cheat to get infinite Ghillie Mantle, and we watched the two battle it out. After the damage calculations, we saw that no matter how much damage Jho seemed to be doing to Azure Rath and vice versa, it was always at 1. Before we decided to call it in, we see Jho rearing up his 500 damage slam, and there it was, center right side; Azure Rathalos, Slayed. We were both shocked, and Jho just sat there eating the corpse. We tried the experiment with Anjanath, Barroth, and Pink Rathian, and it was the exact same outcome. Jho can tank the damage from monsters, and if they are less than or equal to 500 hp when Jho does that slam, its game over.

            Seeing this naturally is a rare sight, but I managed to do it after 4 hours Elder's Recess farming. Was taking on an Azure Rathalos when Jho decided to pick up ma boi Dodogama and start beating Azure Rathalos with it. Afterwards, me and Jho duked it out for a bit, eventually I got him to buzz off. I then approached Azure Rathalos again, and after a few hits, the skull icon showed up. It flew back to its nest, and Jho was walking towards that area. For some reason, Jho didn't want to attack me. He kept wailing on Azure Rathalos along with me, and he lands that slam. Boom. Azure Rath dead. I then put on the Ghillie Mantle and carved away, all while Jho ate the carcass, then walked away like the chad he is. Most days, I prefer Jho not interrupting my hunts. Other days, sometimes I am glad he fights with me. Jho has earned my utmost respect. *beats chest twice* this one was for you, Jho.

                Was fighting a Barioth on the ice bridge and a pickle helped me bodyblock it in one spot while also doing 500 damage per attack on the poor thing.

                  The pickle carries a Dodogama in his mouth for 10 minutes, fights a Bazelgeuse with it, then drops it. I touch Dodo once, it dies, and I fail the capture quest.

                  But he also helped me on The Greatest Jagras, knocking it down a few times and roaring in victory before sauntering off into the forest as I carve away.

                      A few fun facts. Deviljho's saliva is actually what inflicts defense down, so it doesn't really make sense to put the saliva in armor. In Deviljho's enraged state, his muscles get completely empowered by dragon element, putting him in an extreme state of pain. Combine this with starvation and battle weathering, and you get the pickled habanero, also known as the savage Deviljho. :D

                        Cancer with melee I can't even see what move he is performing. It's a battle against camera not Jho. I switched to bow gun and got it first try. With long sword and hammer I wasn't able to beat it.

                          Okay this guy when I first saw him on my expeditions I thought he was going to be a pain in my ass to try and be in the special assignment well apparently he was just blowing dragon damage inducing smoke up my ass cuz I beat him in like 5 minutes with a dragon bone weapon how can this giant pickle with legs dragon damage and yet is weak to dragon damage and also that little thing he does when he puffs up and he does that little dragon smoke thing it could be easily blocked so he ate the Great devourer of worlds as I thought he was but still 8 out of 10

                                      Why didn't they transliterate it as "Deviljaw"? I mean as far as that katakana is concerned, that'd be the same exact thing, except "jaw" actually means something.

                                        I learnt this from Terra Mantis but did you know you can summon Deviljho by placing Raw Meat on the ground, regardless of what monsters are present in an area. However, this only applies to High Rank optional Quests (I'm guessing Master Rank for Savage Jho, the video was made before Iceborne).

                                        The video I learnt this from is 10 Things you Didn't Know About MHW Part 2 by Terra Mantis.

I proceed to spend about 35 minutes hammering this bastard with a nearly fully upgraded defender switch axe, and when he’s showing all the signs of being ready for capture, I realize “wait a *****in minute I have a trap and tranqs!” So I proceed to fry his brains out, watch him limp to his nest, fall asleep, and then plant a shock trap in his skull, finally tranqing him twice In the face annnnnd.....nothing? What? Oh maybe I didn’t do enough damage, next hit, no TAP ON HIS TAIL KILLS HIM! The ***** did I do wrong!? Did I need a net trap or something because of the low radius of the bombs?

                                                There comes a point with Iceborne where the Handler becomes temporarily unavailable, when that happens, this quest also becomes unavailable. Might be worth adding that to a notes section on this page because it was confusing to know I'd done everything needed, but not have the quest available

The head is obvious, the tail is huge and can knock you 50 feet in the air, and if your under his chest you get trampled. This is a really cool monster though.

He grabbed the poor thing and started tossing him and slamming him around like a chew toy, but eventually he got out and retreated to his nest in the confusion. I was surprised the Odogaron didn't just die outright considering he was near death when the pickle showed up. I felt bad and decided to capture the poor guy instead of killing him.

                                                                                  Is he easier in mhw? I never played any of the prior games but I’d heard about his difficulty from friends and memes. Based on everything I knew about him, the first time I saw him I just hid. Decided to actually go after him a few days later and got him without much trouble first try. He smacked me around at first, sure, but 20 minutes later he was dead. Hardest part was just searching the areas for him. As I said, I’m by no means a veteran of the series but he just felt like a joke. Is he considerably harder in the earlier games?

                                                                                    From running "relish the moment" more times than I care to say and becoming reasonably efficient, some notes: When he's enraged every weak point except his head reverses. Basically when not enraged the area on his stomach up around his stupid little devil hands are the only point on his body that ISN'T weak. If he's enraged (which is often) it becomes the only weak point besides his head. Also note that if you counter hit one of his counter hits (where after you hit him he recoils and transfers into an attack) he'll just topple over. So like tackle with a GS, or I guess counter with a long sword if you like terrible weapons. If he picks up some wandering dodogama or whatever to beat you with you can just flash him and he'll drop it. His dragon breath doesn't explode barrel bombs, so you can get a fair bit of free damage while he's enraged by just dropping bombs and waiting for him to run into them then crafting more and repeating. He'll attack from within net traps using either a straight dragon breath or a sweep. They only target his front, although that's also where his enraged weak spots are, so it's troublesome. He's really only especially tough when enraged, but at that point if you wait he'll tire himself out. Problem is he becomes re-enraged rather easily, so unless you feel like going on a 40 minute mission where you spend 90% of it running around in circles like a clown, you're going to have to fight him enraged. I just figured I'd mention all that since this wiki page of facts and strategies seems a little devoid of facts and strategies.

Not majorly different. But you can predict them just the same way if you were fighting Anjanath. The time between his moves is pretty much one second to none during rage mode. Hella OP. Using a Bow made it so much easier to take him down. And hell no, he's not harder than Teostra. Teostra has a one hit kill move just like every other Elder Dragon. He doesn't. He's just annoying when he's in rage mode. But when he gets exhausted, he stays exhausted for quite a bit. So that's also a really excellent time to dish out damage.

Because I got people telling me capturing works aswell, but I don't see a gem enlisted in the 'Deviljho Rewards (All High Rank)' .
