What Is Elderseal in Monster Hunter: World? Explained

Back, foul beast.

Elder Dragons are some of the most challenging hunts in Monster Hunter: World, but the Elderseal can help you bring them down. Though you probably have an impressive arsenal of weapons, you won’t find Elderseal amongst your hammers and bows. That’s because it isn’t a weapon, but rather a trait that some weapons have, allowing you to nullify Elder Dragon abilities. So how exactly does this mysterious trait help you take on some of the toughest monsters that Capcom can throw at you? Here’s everything you need to know about what Elderseal is and does in MHW.

Elderseal is a weapon trait that prevents certain Elder Dragons from using aura abilities and enrage attacks as often in MHW. Elder Dragons include Kirin, Teostra, Vaal Hazak, Kulve Taroth, and several other powerful enemies, so anything that gives you an edge against them is a good thing. Elderseal comes in several levels: Low, Average, and High. The higher the level, the faster it builds up and triggers. Striking Kushala Daora with an Elderseal weapon, for example, will remove its wind barrier. Making sure at least one person in your party has an Elderseal weapon makes these fights much easier.

When the effect of Elderseal triggers, the dragon will stagger and its aura will dissipate, leaving it momentarily vulnerable. In Monster Hunter: World, you can improve the quality of Elderseal by using Dragonseal Jewels. These Jewels raise Elderseal’s level by 1, improving a weapon with Average Elderseal to High Elderseal, for example. Unfortunately, Dragonseal Jewels can only improve the quality of Elderseal, not add it to weapons that lack this quality. Elderseal’s level also cannot rise above High, even with the use of Dragonseal Jewels. Dragonpods also carry this trait, making them a good way to nullify the powers of Elder Dragons in combat.

Monster Hunter: World is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
