Master Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate's equipment system. Learn about weapon types, elemental weaknesses, armor sets, and the importance of eating at the kitchen for crucial buffs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Select weapons that exploit monster weak spots and elemental weaknesses. Different monsters are vulnerable to different damage types (blunt for heads, cutting for bellies) and elements (Ice, Water, Fire, Lightning, Dragon).
  2. 2
    Choose armor sets that provide resistance against the elements a monster uses. For example, avoid fire-resistant armor against fire-breathing monsters.
  3. 3
    Before embarking on a quest, eat at the kitchen to gain food skills that can boost maximum health and stamina.
Tips
  • Consider bringing poison-capable weapons to speed up quests against susceptible monsters.
  • Weapons with powerful elemental properties deal massive damage against monsters weak to those elements.
  • Armor crafted from specific monsters will have elemental weaknesses and resistances based on its origin.
