Paralysis Effect

On Monsters

  • Triggering the effect requires buildup inflicted by:

  • When Paralysis is triggered, the Monster will stop all motion and remain incapacitated, convulsing for about seven seconds until the effect expires.
  • Effect is identifiable by electricity-like yellow arcs surrounding the Monster.
  • Each successive trigger of Paralysis requires more buildup than the last, but the effect duration remains the same.

On the Player and Allies

  • The effect can be recognized by this symbol: mhw-paralysis-status-effect on the HUD
  • Cannot be cured by the victim once the effect starts.
