Leshen is an Large Monster in Monster Hunter World (MHW).?? in Japanese.
Dwelling deep inside the forest, these creatures use their innate magic to control all flora and fauna within their territory. Revolures and Jagras controlled by a Leshen are tough to approach, but the Igni Sign is very useful in fending off Leshen's lashing roots.

- Combat tactics
- This monster is resistant to
Water and
Sleep
- Kinsect Extract:
- Red: Head/Antlers
- Orange: Waist/Body
- White: Legs
- The Igni Sign can be used to instantly kill the Jagras the Leshen summons. This is especially useful to keep a certain ally alive.
- Dispell the cloud of Revoltures with the Igni Sign
- You can actually mount the Leshen. The animation is weird and it has only one spot you grab onto, but it works nonetheless. Brace whenever it tries to shake you off and you will get a free knockdown.
- Break the Leshens antlers twice to stop it from summoning Jagras. Easier said than done however. Mounting the Leshen will help.
- SPOILERS!
- While completing the "Investigation" that leads up to the fight, you will come across a Pukei-Pukei hanging dead in some roots. Head right to continue the quest, but if you head left, you will find another Pukei-Pukei, choked by roots. From there you should see a third Pukei-Pukei, barely alive and quite beaten up. Burn the Roots with Igni and it will fly away for now. It will later join Geralt towards the end of the Leshen fight.
- Pukei will Poison the Leshen at least twice for some great Damage. It will also deal low physical damage
- The biggest danger to Pukei are the Jagras. Make sure to deal with them as quickly as possible.
- Keep Pukei alive with Dust of Life (make sure to grab the EZ Dust of Life from the chest at a base camp) and you will get a special reward at the end (Plus, it's just really heartwarming).

It seems that as long as you keep at least 1 Jagras alive he won’t summon more. My advice: Keep at least 1 alive (you don’t have to go out of your way to; if it wants to taste blade then oblige it) and you won’t be pecked to death. Also the default swords are good enough if you are patient with your attacks.

Beat him first time without carting. Wish I could say it was skill, but it was luck.

I thought this fight is hard especially when I want to do my killer mover those stupid jagras always get in my way. Not to mention it can have bleed effect on you. Thankfully I beaten the leshen in my second try

But can anyone recognize the moves of this beast of Satan? Only the explosion of branches is recognizable, but the wall and remote attack have the same movement. Then jagras are the most annoying and hateful thing in this world, almost more than those damn pigeons. Harder him than the nergigante and Xeno'jiiva put together

HERES A TIP FOR PEOPLE FAILING THE QUEST: Just run away from the boss, wait for your fire sign cooldown, go back to burn him and bash him. Repeat.

With how many times I was interrupted from healing and was bleeding from Leshen while being pecked at by the Jagras and the Revoultures, I NEVER want to fight this thing again.

You can free a Pukei to help you in the final phase. Pretty common knowledge but it's not on the wiki. If I wasnt tech retarded I would update it myself:(
