Monster Hunter World Iceborne | How to Be A Better Hunter - Master Rank Tips 

Worth noting, you can yeet monsters into each other and it will damage and knock down both.

Something else you didn't mention: If you Clutch Claw a monster with a Light weapon, slapping the monster 2-3 times before using the Weapon attack lets you instantly wound it.

Step 1. Don’t get hit Step 2. Hit monster really hard

They also drop material very often when they hit a wall. *Almost* 100% in my experience.

I think you missed some vital information regarding the Clutch Claw. Smaller weapons can wound a monster in one go by filling up the (hidden) wound gauge before initiating the final attack. A claw attack (circle or B) does 2 wound damage, a weapon attack (triangle or Y) from a weapon in the light category does 5 wound damage and a weapon attack from a weapon in the heavy category does 10. In total it takes 10 wound damage to soften up a specific area. I think it’s worth to note that light weapons can for example mount a monsters head and do their weapon attack for 5 wound damage and to refill their slinger. If they then remount the monster and claw attack trice they’re able to wound the monsters head and follow up with a flinch shot. TL;DR: Light weapons can wound in one go if they precede their weapon attack with three claw attacks. Extra tip: While mounted on a monster part that the monster uses to attack you’ll take the full damage of the attack and will be thrown of the monster, the Temporal Mantle completely negates this allowing you to easily navigate and/or wound the monster. Edit: Extra tip.

Uhhh holy shit man. Thanks alot for the shout out!!!

Best tip: don't do the clutch claw yeet if someone has mounted the monster. If hunter 1 mounted the monster, hunter 2-4 should use clutch claw to generate slinger ammo and weak points before hunter 1 knocks down said monster.

I actually killed my first Velkhana by running it into a wall. It actually sounded like glass broke because of the ice on his body lol.

Another tip: If a monster isnt near a wall. Shoot the monster toward another teammate near a wall and your teammate could latch on and finish the job before the monster could react. Its kinda hard to pull off due to the monster getting pissed off at failed attempts to do this. But its an option. And looks fuckin awesome when you pull it off.

It's an eye...? ITS AN EYE! I can't believe I never realized what that minimap icon was I always thought it was odd monsters were marked with two 'U's

For anyone still new to iceborne here's some tip's for weakening parts when weakening a monster it's best to think of it as 10 points to weaken the part, a claw attack (the little slap with the claw) does 2 points of weakening, a light weapon does 5 points and a heavy weapon does 10, meaning if you're using a light weapon you can slap the monster 3 times and then do a weapon attack for an add up of 11 points, therefore weakening the part, and well heavy weapons are simple, 1 weapon attack = instant part weaken Light weapons: Longsword, dual blades, sword and shield, gunlance, bow, light bowgun, insect glaive Heavy weapons: Great sword, hammer, Lance, heavy bowgun, charge blade, switch axe (I think), hunting horn Although the dual blades and sword and shield have a special attack that wounds in one hit, with dual blades after doing a circle, circle, circle (or b, b ,b for Xbox) you can press L2 (or LT for Xbox) to grapple onto the monster to wound the part with one hit. For SnS players I'm sorry but I have no idea how to do it.

I'm surprised a lot of people don't know how to run monsters into walls. You get an optional quest that teaches you about the Clutch Claw pretty well.

Know when to stop chasing a monster and heal yourself. A lot of people forget this fact.

The clutch claw has an intended opening during monster fights that allow a grapple to happen no matter what. When the monster staggers back and appears to be tired and drooling but isn't, you can grappled the monster and it'll actually make them still a bit longer which simulates an exhaust period and allows said grapple to wound or generate ammo rather safely.

That is really nice and honest of you. 99% of the big RU-vidrs would've stolen the glider information without any shoutout!! Respect!!

Killing a monster with the clutch claw yeet is so awesome

I feel like its worth noting that the Temporal Mantle lets you dodge monster attacks while clutch clawed to them, letting you wound or yeet whenever you want with no possibility of getting thrown off.

I feel like I’m the only one who uses Dust Of Life

You can yeet monsters into another hunter that has a shield👌

The more wounded parts on a monster before you yeet them the more damage it does.

My very smol team affectionately call the monster into wall thing the B O N K

Perfect video, covers all the things I think are huge for master rank plus some bonus material. Never heard the glider mantle tip, I'll definitely give this a try!

Thank you ArekkZ for showing me the light. I’ve started using the CB, went back into your 1 year old video of the CB Guide, now I WORSHIP THIS WEAPON!

I was watching the heart beat monitor to tell when the monsters were enraged

A couple tips I thought would be helpful is, if you’re on the face of a active flyer with the clutch claw, you don’t have to aim them into a wall, if you just press RT or R2 they’ll fall straight into the floor. And tip #2 use the vigor wasp spray, it will give you a free cart after you level it up to 11. 1 free cart per quest, I don’t know the recharge rate for expedition mode yet.

Great video as always! I was trying to figure out how to yeet monsters, I was doing it sometimes but other times it wouldn't work, and now I know why. Thank you, Arekkz

Woah nice !!! I didn't know you could tell a monsters enraged by just looking at the icon on the minimap! I just observe them when they're nose/mouth is steaming ! Thanks arekkz !

Fun fact: enraged monsters are are yeetable exhausting a monster to the point when they starve or get hungry mid-rage they can be steered and veered regardless. How would you know if they reached this point? They drool and halt their action and start panting, they're exhausted and in which fully yeetable enraged or not :3 Hope this helps!

also a good tip: don't yeet them into a wall when the guy that is mounting it is nearly done with the mount!

That glider mount trick is super handy! I'm horrible at using the small ledges and that is sooo much easier. Thanks for the info!

Had this playing in the background mid hunt and this def changed the flow of battle..! Never seemed to nail down when they were or weren't Yeet Ready™ lol--life saving tips, man

Tip: Slinger Bombs can be mixed into your attack combos for major damage. instead of shooting them normally. Use "slinger burst". The only downside is, You'd have to be very close to the monster😬 It works with other slinger ammo. But only half the weapons have this feature.

am i the only the one appreciating the super cool detail of that Dante's clutch claw( i assume) how switches from claw to slinger cannnon when you going to yeet the monster? i thought that was COOL

I’m having internet issues at the moment, so this will greatly help, because I’m not gonna be able to call for help. On the bright side, my palico has maxed all her weapons, and our affinity with the Gajalaka. Plus, I’ve significantly improved my dodging and blocking skills. Thank you, Damascus armor. I love your guard skill. That said, I want the Mind’s Eyes gem, but it’s proving quite elusive. Really working on that build we talked about.

I love your vids that point out the basics that some people look over accidentally sometimes, which includes me too, so thanks for this one and all those before and following.

Imagine this video just being Arekkz staring into the camera for 8:30 minutes and in the last 4 seconds he just says "git gud." xD

The scariest monster to yeet into a wall is lunastra. Can't count how many times she's super nova the map as soon as she got up

Great video! i knew about wall banging monsters but i was confused on why it would work sometimes and not others.

that glider mantle tip is epic.... awesome for my insect glaive builds. :) cheers bruh

I'm absolutely loving Iceborne, I've been so addicted to it, that it's been keeping me from playing Borderlands 3 lol. I've been trying to pickup GS lately, I'm slowly getting better at it. I'm going to be fighting Nargacuga for the first time today. I'm going to see how I fair taking it down with Great Sword.

Thanks for the clutch claw yeet info I was hoping someone would explain this!

One thing I noticed about the clutch claw is that if you see a monster has become exhausted then wait about 2 seconds and then use the clutch and attack it. This is helpful in multiplayer cuz the monster won't start moving until u finish the clutch claw attack and this lets ur teammates get a good chance to unleash strong attacks

i'm always so damn amazed how you got al this down to a science. another great MHW video from you. ty

Tips in this video: 1. Use the new Flinch Shot 2. Bring Lifepowder 3. Soften monsterparts with Clutch Claw attacks 4. Use Raider Rider 5. Mount with the Glider Mantle

"in an area that doesn't typically have ledges". As a hammer main I am personally offended by the notion of fighting in such an area. How am I supposed to deal damage if I can't slideattack or ledgejump?

Thank you so much for making this Arekkz; I really hope I see it in more future hunts instead of feeling like a teacher every hunt XD

The 3 powders have always been apart of my multiplayer item setup. An now, applying dust of life to the pack has made me a better support for the team.

Right, that's why I grew 2,000 Gloamgrass Buds. I was planning on making Dust of Life on mass so that could add as a permanent item to my item loadout. Thank you for reminding me.

I remember when I tried clutch clawing a rathian but just ended up killing it with the 4 damage from the claw

OMG! I already use Glider Mantle on my Hammer set! The clutch > glide > aerial attack technique is going to be so useful for even more KOs and mounts! Thanks for this!

Had no clue about the yellow eye for yeeting. I normally clutch claw after a stagger and now i know why they wont run with a flinch shot, gotta look for the eye now. Also didnt know the pet rider mount attack, awesome tips!

Always bring lifepowders and dust of life to heal your teammates!!

How to be a better hunter? .. Get a HAMMER!

Thanks for this video. Came back after a year of not playing. I need all the tips I can get

Nice, I didn't know about the Glider mantle latch cancelling.

Is the glowy clutch claw layered armor!? Looks dope 👌

"If u tryna slap him on the tail or the leg this isn't that type of game." Lol whole time I thought I was here to slap some tail thanks j/k. Lol

I think you understated the importance of tenderizing monster parts via the clutchclaw. Perhaps you coulda mentioned Kirin as example of a monster that gets insane armor when enraged. But if you clutchclaw the body and weaken it, your weapons will stop bouncing off. That stuff makes all the difference

That glider mantle technique is really cool - I was hunting with a Velkhanna CritDraw/Boost Greatsword build last night and that'd make it extra spicy.

I'm amazed by the amount of hunters who stop and sharpen as the monster flees, meanwhile I've built the habit of immediately hopping on my mount and sharpening as I ride past my teammates. I'm pretty much always the first one back in the fray.

Another tip get health boost on the armor lol 👌

I didnt kno about that glider trick, thanx!!! :D

You can also see the enraged when every second heartbeat on the “health bar” below the monsters icon beside the mini map

Bonus tip for all the new long sword users. Focus on tail first k thx

You can also blast monsters off a cliff or out of the air for fall damage

It's also worth noting, with the "clutch claw feet", you can also knock them into another monster, knocking both of them down

Like always good job is a lot of help thank you

Have me in your group! HH w/ ATK and DEF up XL.... Wide range 5 with free meal and speed eating. Might and adamant pill and mega potion spam. If you die on a hunt with me in the group, you may want to hang it up....

Last one: use glider mantle and clutch claw to mount the monster. *Laughs in Insect Glaive* *Laughs harder in mount master charm*

Man I remember when I first watched your mh videos on DS. Still a legend ❤️

I find it easier to monitor a monsters enrage state by looking at the life line under the monsters icon. If its consistently blue with no yellow in it its calm, but if it has a yellow hue its enraged.

Ah sweet so you don't have to upgrade reg life powder. In other words i can bring 2 dust of life 3 life powder 10 gobugs 10 of the material you mentioned and effectively have a good chunk of emergency heals. I always like bringing any powders herbal demon etc

Most important tip: positioning Hammer, Hunting Horn, Impact CB -> head LoNgSwOrD -> NOT THE HEAD

Another great video!

New weapon tutorials coming up too? Always found those informative when playing with new weapons.

Another pro tip for some master rank hunters, longswords and insect glaives and chargeblades need to STAY AWAY from the head Yours truly, Hammer bros

Heal your teammates bring life and dust powder unless you play solo lol

A helpful tip with the clutch claw yeet is that if a monster is flying you don't actually need to run them into a wall, you can just fire your slinger ammo while on their face like normal and when they hit the ground you will get the same effect as running them into a wall. Just saying this because I didn't hear Arekkz say this.

in addition, if you're having a hard time looking at the mini map, you could check thr LifeLine below the monster's icon, if blue - free to clutch, if yellow, nope

Should I clutch claw yeet with a team member mounted.

This video is basically "Git gud"

I always want to do the yeet damage ever since someone respond to my sos and it looks really cool, I'll definitely try to incorporate that tech in my hunts

Another thing that's cool to know is you when you're on your raider ride you can farm materials on the back of them faster. While you're on the back it cancels out the pickaxes animation and digging for bones animation.

Irritating how you kept saying "yeet"

Stop only capturing monsters. Some of us are trying to carve mantels. Dont come into my gameing caping my monster, very disrespectful to the host of the sos or hunting party

Holy shit that glider mantle tip is a huge game changer especially with the Safi Siege because you always want to mount to bring him down and have a moment to attack the head tail which is hard to hit because it's constantly moving

The part about softening the monsters body is very useful, as a hammer i always go for the head but if i have unruly hunters going for my target all the time i just soften the legs and do solid damage.

I had no idea I could make the monsters face other ways and the whole in the mini map is going to help a lot

Haven't finished the video yet, but "Clutch Claw Yeet" is priceless and I will be saying that from now on.

This is good information! I had no idea the “yeet” was a thing.

6:37 that shamos got yeeted so hardXD

Thank you Arrekz

That glider mount sure is a helpful info for me.

Even though flash pod does not work for yeeting It still good to do it with a flash pod that way you just guarantee the flash will hit and not have the chance of them turning around and avoid the flash And it feels awesome to point blank flash a monsters face

on ps4 when using a bow and you dodge while aiming and you press triangle immediately after the dodge you can do an attack with an arrow. this attack can let you mount monsters so if you got the stamina you don't need ledges and you can easily mount monsters with a bow. I do it all the time :D

Honestly, I had to teach myself to use the clutch claw, it took me a bit to use it to it's full potential and to know when to use it. You explained it very well tho and everything else on how to be a better hunter, this will help lots of newcomers and intermediate players to be better in their hunts.

arekkz coming at you with some hard facts... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love that you call it "yeet", that's just great

Had zero clue...thank you
