Learn how to defeat Altaroth in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Discover their attack patterns, weaknesses, and the best strategies for hunting these mushroom-eating insects.
Walkthrough
- 1Altaroth are giant spider-like insects who feed off of mushrooms and honey.
- 2They can be found in the Primal Forest, Ancestral Steppe, Sunken Hollow, Frozen Seaway, Volcanic Hollow, Heaven’s Mount, Everwood, and Dunes.
- 3Beware of their 'Gooey Spit' attack, which shoots a green liquid ball that inflicts Defense Down for a bit.
- 4Their 'Jaw Chomp' attack deals small damage but will trip you.
- 5To obtain carves, it is recommended to bring Poison Smoke Bombs, poison ammo/coating, or a weak poison weapon.
- 6Allowing poison to kill them will guarantee their bodies remain intact for carves. Attacking or shooting them will usually cause their bodies to be destroyed.
- 7When an Altaroth absorbs nutrients from a mushroom, berry, or other item, killing it afterwards will cause it to drop a shiny.
- 8This shiny can sometimes yield useful items.
Tips
- Use poison to ensure Altaroth bodies remain intact for carves.
- Letting Altaroth absorb nutrients from items before killing them can result in valuable shiny drops.
