Elderseal is a Weapon Mechanic introduced in Monster Hunter World (MHW). It will prevent certain Elder Dragons from using their special aura abilities and enrage attacks as often.
How Elderseal Works
Weapons that wield Dragon Damage have one of three levels of Elderseal - Low, Average, and High - indicating the rate at which the effect triggers. When Elderseal is triggered, an Elder Dragon will be briefly staggered and their special Aura will be dissipated for a short time. This has no effect on monsters that are not Elder Dragons.
The level of Elderseal wielded by a Weapon can be modified by the Elderseal Boost Skill.
Effects of Elderseal
- Kirin - Removes lightning armor
- Teostra & Lunastra - Reduces their flame aura level and removes their ability to use supernova
- Kushala Daora - Removes wind barrier
- Vaal Hazak - Reduces its effluvia charge
- Nergigante - Makes its hardened black spikes break
- Xeno'jiiva - Reduces Rage-Mode duration
- Namielle - Puts Namielle in dry state
- Velkhana - Shatters Ice armor
- Safi'jiiva - Increases Energy Consumption, leading to faster draining
Sources of Elderseal
The following Weapons can inflict Elderseal on Elder Dragons. All Weapons in the Dragonbone branch of each Weapon Tree wield Dragon Damage. All Safi'jiiva Weapons.
In addition, while both Light and Heavy Bowguns do not wield Dragon Damage, some can fire Dragon Ammo, which has a high chance of inflicting Elderseal.
Dragon Pods for the Slinger also inflict Elderseal, and can be dropped by Elder Dragons during combat.

What about the effects on the other Iceborne elder dragons, like Namielle and Shara Ishvalda?

"A normal monster will be forced out of their enraged state when Elder seal is triggered." Can anyone confirm that? This is the first time I'm hearing this.

When you want to use Elderseal on Kushala but you actually have to hit him with your weapon to try to apply it... and dragon pods come from breaking parts...

does it really only works on elder dragons? Because rathalos/rathian are weak to it and with elderseal applied they stagger themselves when trying to spit fire at you

If you use a high elderseal weapon with the Elderseal boost, can it increase even more?

Deviljho should be added as a monster affected by Elderseal, since when it procs while enrgaged, he will remain enraged but will regain the leg damage weakness

Xeno'jiiva's belly becomes such a big weak spot when it's enraged that it's almost not worth using elder seal on it, especially if you have a pierce ammo HBG user in the party

Does is cap on "high"? If I have "high" elderseal weapon and equip elderseal charm, does extra level goes to waste?
