monster hunter world free trial

Monster Hunter World armor isn’t the only defense in the game you need to think about.

In Monster Hunter World, a lot of fights boil down to what armor you’re wearing, and what weapon you’re currently using. However, there’s a hidden game-changer that lies within, and these are the mantles! Those not familiar with the equipment, think of it as Monster Hunter World armor, but instead of giving you added defense, it has a few other things that protect you from.

You can check out the super quick list below to see how to get all the Monster Hunter World mantles, and what they do.

Apothecary Mantle

Use: Increases status accumulation for a short time.

Unlock: To earn this mantle, players need to fully research 10 monsters. Armory lady will then give you a quest.

Immunity Mantle

Use: Removes & Nullifies abnormal status effects for the duration of the mantle

Unlock: To earn this mantle, players need to fully research 15 monsters. Same as above.

 Impact Mantle

Use: Adds exhaust/stun to attacks, and improves weapons that already exhaust/stun.

Vitality Mantle

How To Unlock: (it’s from a low rank mission. Please advise me what mission it is so I can update you with accurate information.)
