I see that the Kulve Taroth update has landed on PC (although the quest doesn't activate until 2-Nov).

In preparation for that, I wanna lay down a few tips that I've learned after dozens of runs on the PS4 version:

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

- Phase 1 is best suited for environmental and cannon damage; the area is too narrow.

KT has 2 pairs of bi-directional tunnels ports she enters/exits from.

She spends a moment looking around upon exit, so load up and aim the cannons beforehand!

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

- Phase 2 is where standard combat begins. Wide field, but don't get smushed by her roll!

There are also Wedge Beetles above, so if you wanna get a mount, this is probably the best area - but no pressure.

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

- Phase 3 is all lava and fire. Remember Fireproof Mantle; you get 2 Chillshrooms at the entrance, so Cool Drink is covered.

That said, if you can afford to bring Heat Guard, it'll make your life MUCH easier because it also negates lava chip damage!

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

- Phase 3 also has 3 big stalactites you can drop on her for a pretty big damage and long knockdown. But 2 of them are above the lava islands - hence the need for Fireproof/Heat Guard.

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

- Phase 4: Final

As she loses her armor, elemental resistance changes completely - from Thunder to Ice! You may well need a different loadout for this - bring a Farcaster for quick return. (You get 1 in Supply.)

Heat damage still happens periodically.

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

If you didn't have Fire Resist. before, bring it NOW.

Also, the targets are her horns; as far as I know, she can't be slain. Middle pillar can be wall-jumped off of, so you might get another mount or two.

Tail can be broken, but not cut.

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

- KT is only 1-star weak to all status, so it'll take some effort to trigger it again. A 3rd trigger is possible but not easy to achieve without going all-out on it.

So if you plan to apply Sleep, you really should save it for Phase 4.

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

I single out Sleep in particular because not only will you get a chance to sleepbomb her horns directly, it'll also stop the heat phase in the area.

Obviously, pack Mega Barrel Bombs.

And stop attacking when she starts wobbling and the heat stops!!

#MHWorld #PC #KulveTaroth

That should cover the basic strategy for each stage.

As for the map itself:

- It has endemic life exclusive to the area, along with rare versions!

- The golden Gajalaka - get rid of them ASAP. They will not stop attacking you. Ever.
