Large monster index
Monsters
A field guide built around what changes the hunt: states, parts, terrain, positioning and reward conditions—not a single misleading weakness icon.
Forbidden Lands
Arkveld Weakness & Fight Guide
Use Dragon for a small advantage, read the chainblade sequence and separate normal, Tempered and Arch-tempered hunt conditions.
Windward Plains
Rey Dau
Prepare for the lightning apex, identify safe punish windows and use the nest environment without relying on unverified damage tables.
Oilwell Basin
Gogmazios
Reach HR100, soften hardened oil with Fire, convert the exposed state with Dragon and understand the permanent quest and Gogma Artian rewards.
Field database
Monster Weaknesses
Read weaknesses as a combination of damage type, body part and monster state—not a single context-free elemental icon.
Field tracking
Monster Locations
Find signature monsters across five regions, then resolve environment, quest access, migration and map layer with the live-map method.
Reward ledger
Monster Drops
Separate target rewards, carves, broken parts and rank-specific pools before choosing the fastest reliable material source.
Read the hunt as a sequence of states
A weakness table is only the starting hypothesis. The usable plan also needs the body part you can reach, the monster's current state, the opening created by terrain or a wound and the reward condition you are trying to satisfy.
| Before the quest | During the hunt | After the result |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm quest access, region, rank and the exact target | Record the part and state where safe damage actually lands | Separate a failed plan from failed execution |
| Choose one defensive answer and one item plan | Use wounds, breaks and readable recoveries as conversion windows | Check the reward pool before repeating the quest |
| Match the weapon to reachable parts, not a theoretical maximum | Reset position when the target changes area or elevation | Change one loadout job and compare matched hunts |
Use specific field files when the evidence is complete
The location index resolves region, environment, migration and map-layer questions. Individual files such as Arkveld, Rey Dau and Gogmazios publish direct answers only where the version and evidence support them. The broader drops framework remains outside search until current-client reward rows are attached.
Araketa is documented separately in the Ascendance field file because Capcom has confirmed its type, locale and pack-flight behavior but has not published a weakness or drop table.
If a monster changes form, coating, charge or exposure state, record that state beside the part and damage type. Combining all states into one label produces a tidy table and a bad hunt plan.
