Kjarr Weapons: Quests, Boss, And Farming Guide

Kjarr-based Weapons are part of Monster Hunter World’s endgame arsenal. Due to their strength and rarity, obtaining them can be difficult. In the past, you had to take on Kulve Taroth in a 16-player Siege to get these weapons. With Iceborne’s release, however, you now have an alternative method as well. Welcome to our Kjarr Weapons Compendium.

Optimal Method To Farm Kjarr Weapons

Considering that there are two pathways to getting your weapons from Kulve Taroth, each has its own limitations. Said limitations in mind, you should be able to choose the method that is most convenient for you.

Kjarr-based Weapons are based on randomized drops. You’ll need to appraise Incandescent versions in order to get a usable version, not unlike Decorations. These weapons are divided into three categories: Gold, Taroth, and Kjarr. As of Iceborne’s release, you have two methods of farming Kjarr-based Weapons, and both have their pros and cons.

The Fury Of El Dorado – HR Siege

• A multiplayer mode with up to 16 players.
• Success depends on the squad quality and coordination.
• Team up with like-minded and experienced players for efficient runs.
• Progress carries over between runs.
• Pursuit and Reward levels make this method more lenient.
• Consider forming a group of players with similar skills or get friends to join.

The Eternal Gold Rush – MR Event Quest

• Requires consistent damage output to prevent Kulve Taroth from retreating.
• Plan and play seamlessly to bypass hidden timers.
• Soloable but can use SOS flare for co-op.
• The quest can be completed in about 15 minutes, saving time.

Arch-Tempered Kulve Taroth Special Quest

• Mechanics for better rewards include Pursuit Level and Reward Level.

• Breaking Kulve Taroth’s horns resets Pursuit level.

• Shatter gold parts for two levels, break her horns for one level, and the naked tail for another.
• Increasing reward rarity involves a successful non-failure Pursuit session.
• Triggering Kulve Taroth’s Fury can yield additional random rewards.
• Reward level is not shared, so break monster parts and contribute to the party.

Pursuit Level

• Increases damage output and helps break Kulve Taroth’s parts.
• Collect monster tracks to raise the Pursuit Level.
• Higher Pursuit Level makes farming Kjarr weapons more efficient.
• Pursuit Level increase applies to all players in the session.

Kulve Taroth Four Areas Battle Strategy

The Kulve Taroth battle in the Caverns of El Dorado is divided into four areas, each with specific objectives. To effectively farm for Kjarr Weapons, you need to manage each area and complete the objectives.

Area One

• The goal here is to prevent Kulve Taroth from leaving the area by dealing enough damage.
• Focus on dealing damage to meet the damage threshold.
• Use Partbreaker and Barrel Bombs to increase your damage output.
• Pursuit runs at this stage can help raise your damage multiplier.

Area Two

• Shatter Kulve Taroth’s gold-plated parts to contribute to the damage required.
• Attacking broken parts won’t count towards the objective.
• Each area has its own time limit for completing the objective.
• Failure to meet the objective will result in Kulve Taroth leaving the area.

Area Three

• This area serves as a transition phase to Area Four.
• If you met the objectives in the previous areas, Kulve Taroth will briefly pass through this zone.
• The objective is to shed her gold-plating if it wasn’t done in the previous area.

Area Four

• Prioritize breaking Kulve Taroth’s horns.
• Only damage to the horns matters in this area.
• Attacking other parts won’t stop her from retreating.
• You can target her limbs to make her trip, increasing your damage to the horns after she falls.

The Eternal Gold Rush – Master Rank

• Access in Events under Master Rank tab on Quest Board.
• A timed quest without Pursuit or Reward levels.
• Failing to defeat Kulve Taroth within the time frame is resource-wasting.
