Monster Hunter: World Kulve Taroth: how to fight it, what is its weakness
Deep within the Caverns of El Dorado in Monster Hunter: World lies the golden Elder Dragon known as Kulve Taroth. You won't be able to kill this massive beast, but you will be able to knock off all of its shards which can be crafted into all sorts of wonderfully sparkling armour. It's also the first monster that requires four groups of four warriors, which means you'll need to work together to take it down through multiple phases. This guide will go over how to fight the Kulve Taroth, as well as all the materials that can be gathered from it.
Monster Hunter: World Kulve Taroth guide
There's no doubt that this Elder Dragon will take everything you can muster. For those looking to get a bit more on how to effectively manage their stamina bar, head on over to our Monster Hunter World guide to get more tips and tricks for surviving this hunt.
If you are looking for specifically Monster Hunter World Iceborne guides, then we have created a separate guide hub for just expansion stuff. Head over to our Monster Hunter World Iceborne guide to make your start.
Kulve Taroth's weaknesses and resistances
Kulve Taroth's one of those monsters that changes her strengths and weaknesses as the battle goes on. She initially begins the battle especially weak to Ice, with some degree of weakness to both water and dragon. Fire and thunder on the other hand do barely anything in this state. Upon covering herself in gold, she will change the majority of her elemental strengths and weaknesses. She becomes highly resistant to ice and gaining a bit more defence against dragon, at the cost of becoming susceptible to fire and especially weak to thunder. Water however doesn't change and is probably your safest option for fighting this monster if you don't want to head back to camp to change your weapon. With one star for all ailments, it's worth trying to inflict any of them on her, but you may find it takes a fair bit of time to actually take effect.
As for types of weapons and their effectiveness, bladed and blunt melee weapons are most effective against the gold plating on the top of her head, while ranged weapons are best fired at her front claws. Her gold plating, horns, and tail are all breakable. In addition to these strengths and weaknesses, there are two states that Kulve Taroth can be in. To begin with, the non-gold bits are where the damage should be coming from as she is otherwise armoured. When she does start to glow however, her entire body becomes a giant weak spot, meaning that you can inflict a ton of damage, especially if she becomes paralysed in this state.
Unlocking the Kulve Taroth quest
First and foremost, you'll need to reach Hunter Rank This means you have at the very least completed the main story by defeating Xeno'jiiva and saving the new world. If you're struggling with this baby Elder Dragon, head to our Monster Hunter: World Xeno'jiiva guide to learn more about how to defeat it.
You'll then need to gather Scattered gold chips that are found in either optional side-quests or expeditions. This is very similar to the method that you investigated the whereabouts of the Pink Rathian. An easy way to obtain a Scattered gold chipsis to go to the Ancient Forest and start in the south-west camp. Head out into the open area where the various herbivores roam the swampland and look to the ledge. You'll see a Scattered gold chips that can be obtained.
Once you have at least one Scattered gold chips, head back to Astera and into the Gathering Hub on the fourth floor. At the quest board, you'll see the Special Investigation entitled "Banquet in the Earthen Hall". Note that you can't accept this quest by going to the quest board in the lower floors, so make sure you're going to the right place.
How to fight Kulve Taroth
First of all, don't do what I did to get the screenshots and just go in solo. You won't get very far at all as it needs a coordinated assault. Since there are multiple players, everyone needs to use everything in their arsenal, as well as the environment around each area, to bring her down.
The mission objective is to break Kulve Taroth's horns in their entirety. Monster Hunter: World doesn't naturally support more than four people at a time, so it uses a points based system to keep track of the sixteen player's progress. The more points all of you accumulate, the better the rewards are. Here are the points values for each of the objectives:
Objective | Points |
---|---|
2nd area reached | 20 |
3rd area reached | 40 |
4th area reached | 60 |
Kulve Taroth released | 90 |
Giant horns completely broken | |
Giant horns chipped | |
Horn's gold plating broken | |
Tail broken | |
Right foreleg gold plating broken | 90 |
Left foreleg gold plating broken | 90 |
Right chest gold plating broken | 60 |
Left chest gold plating broken | 60 |
Right hind leg gold plating broken | 30 |
Left hind leg gold plating broken | 30 |
Tail right gold plating broken | 30 |
Tail left gold plating broken | 30 |
Pursuit level 2 reached | 20 |
Pursuit level 4 reached | 40 |
Pursuit level 6 reached | 90 |
Coordination between each group is key in order to defeat this boss, as well as knowing each of the area layouts. She can shoot a concentrated beam of fire that begins with her mouth being on fire. This can do a lot of damage, so should be dodged to the side. She can also rise up to breath fire on the ground, which covers a large area in fireblight inflicting flames, so get out of the range as soon as you see her rise on her hind legs. Crystalburst and piercing pods can knock her out of this attack and leave her open to attacks.
Each of the three phases is distinctly different and take place across four areas. But before you do anything else, make sure you cool drinks to deal with the heat, as well as Parashrooms in your inventory. The parashrooms can be combined with throwing knives, obtained by defeating the golden Gajalakas. There's a group of them near the camp you start out in, but other small groups are around the area. There are also large barrels that are found close to the cannons in the first room, so pick those up and combine to make large barrel bombs.
In the first phase, you'll want to gather tracks and deal as much damage to hit as possible, taking advantage of the boulders above that can be dropped on top of her. This has the added advantage of knocking her prone when toppled, leaving her open to a slew of attacks. The second phase is where the golden form is introduced. Use the terrain to try to mount Kulve Taroth, as doing so will make her start to glow, allowing for everyone to get a lot of damage off on the Elder Dragon.
You'll need to break off her gold coating in the third room, so take advantage of the stalactites and bombs to tear it off. In the fourth room, you'll need to break her horns, so try to make her go to sleep and then plant any remaining bombs while she's resting. This coordinated and concentrated attack on the horns should in theory do a lot of damage and potentially break them off very quickly. Breaking them off will cause Kulve Taroth to retreat, thus ending the fight. You can't kill her, unlike other creatures in Monster Hunter: World, but the horns have a huge amount of resources.
What materials can I get from Kulve Taroth?
Since Kulve Taroth is an Elder Dragon, you can't capture it, but you also can't fire off an SOS Flare. Partnering up with others (as detailed in our To learn more about teaming up with others, you can refer to our Monster Hunter: World PC multiplayer guide) is the way forward. As for how to use the items you can loot from Kulve Taroth, you can either check out our Monster Hunter: World combat guide or our Monster Hunter: World armour guide. In the list below, the stars indicate the frequency in which the item in question will drop, as well as details on whether some items are obtained by breaking a specific part of the monster.
Item name | Rarity of materials gained from carving | Combat and carving notes | Rarity of materials gained as rewards | Reward notes |

You can learn more about the previous monster introduced in the free updates from our Monster Hunter: World Deviljho, as well as hunt one of the more elusive Elder Dragons in our Monster Hunter: World Kirin guide.

Partbreaker | The goal of the siege is to peel off the gold from Kulve Taroth and break its horn. Partbreaker makes this an easier task. |

Fire Resist | Kulve Taroth's fire attacks are no joke. You'll want to make sure your fire resistance is at a decent level (or better, over 20) |
Clutch Claw Boost | Wounding Kulve Taroth is a must if you want to rapidly break a certain part. |
Thunder Attack / Ice Attack | More damage. |
Health Boost | More survivability. |

※ | All Areas | Pressure and break parts to prevent Kulve Taroth from escaping |
① | 2 | Attack and soften the chest area ・Mount to soften the gold armor ・Use explosives to destroy chest armor |
② | 2→3 | Continue attacking and remove its gold armor |
③ | 3 | Attack and use the envitonmental hazards |
④ | 4 | Utilize paralysis and sleep to subdue |
Area | Goal |
---|---|
2 | Soften the Chest → Destroy the chest armor |
3 | Mount after destroying the chest armor |
4 | Continue the pressure to force Kulve Taroth to release its armor |
Kulve Taroth will try to escape if you do not meet the damage threshold needed in each area. Be sure to keep on attacking to prevent this from happening.
Destroying body parts of Kulve Taroth will keep her in the area for more time to complete the hunt. Since the goal is to subdue Kulve Taroth not to break her parts, try to focus on dealing as much damage as you can while breaking vulnerable parts using different elemental weapons.
The chest area of Kulve Taroth can easily be injured and blown off by using explosives. Try to aim for this part the most until it breaks off since it is one of his most vulnerable parts.
You can swing and grapple across the map using the wedge beetles that are scattered all over the areas during the hunt, this will allow you to mount Kulve Taroth and down her quickly for your team to deal damage. Try to do this often to maximize your damage output and break off Kulve Taroth parts as you attack with your team.
Since Kulve Taroth can be pretty tough when she is wearing her gold armor, it is important to soften her parts using your clutch claws to make your attacks stronger.
It is highly recommended that you use Temporal Mantle during the hunt to avoid taking damage while focusing on breaking parts.
Try to utilize the collapsable rocks that can deal massive damage on Kulve Taroth, these rocks are present in most areas and it can be quite useful especially if you are lacking damage to keep her from escaping. Using these rocks will not only down Kulve Taroth but also release her from enraging. This will allow you to use your clutch claws on both of her hind legs and tail to deal more damage
Kulve Taroth is weak against Thunder when she is wearing her golden armor, and weak against ice during the last phase. It is recommended that you use a Thunder-based affinity weapon at the beginning of the hunt and then return to camp later to switch if for an ice-based weapon once the armor is released.
Blast-type weapons can also be useful in the hunt since they can deal damage per proc. If used correctly and efficiently, this can be a can be highly effective especially if you do not have other elemental weapons.
As Kulve Taroth moves to the second area of the map, she will block off the path that can lead you back to area 1. Because of this, there is no way that you can walk back to the camp to replenish your items unless you use a Farcaster.
Once Kulve Taroth has arrived in the final area, she will be enraged and there is no way to remove this unless you put her to sleep. Because of this, try to focus on putting her to sleep only during the final phase. As soon as she falls asleep, prepare large barrel bombs with the rest of your team to maximize your damage.
In addition, the Challenger Mantle can be extremely useful to keep Kulve Taroth from attacking the rest of your team while she is enraged.
During the last phase of Kulve Taroth, she will sometimes perform an attack wherein she drops lava from the ceiling which can be pretty hard to avoid because of the camera restrictions. You can easily counter this if you are using a weapon with a shield by holding your guard. However, if you are using a different weapon, you should try to avoid the lava by rolling away from the area.
A large number of lost items will drop from Kulve Taroth as you break her parts. Be sure to pick them all up as they can be used when making weapons and armors.
It is best that you only focus on picking up these shiny drops as soon as Kulve Taroth starts to move to a different area. This will allow you to constantly attack her and keep on the pressure without losing any damage.

Quest | The Eternal Gold Rush (MR Event Quest) |
---|---|
Req. MR | MR 24 or higher |
Time Limit | 50 minutes |
The golden-clad monster Kulve Taroth has returned to Monster Hunter World as a master rank version of itself. She's stronger & deadlier than ever with new moves to boost in her Master Rank quest.
Not a Siege Quest

The Master Rank Kulve Taroth Quest is not a siege anymore, but a traditional 4-man fight against the monster. This means there's no more reward levels. It can be found in the Event Quests tab.
Slay The Kulve Taroth
Unlike previous encounter, you will eventually need to slay the Kulve Taroth itself in this Master Rank encounter.
Skips First Area Pursuit

In the Master Rank quest, the first area pursuit is completely skipped. It starts immediately in the 2nd area where first fight against an aggressive Kulve Taroth!
Health Scales to Number of Players
The more players you have on your team, the higher Kulve Taroth's health will be. It's entirely possible to solo Master Rank Kulve Taroth thanks to this scaling unlike its HR counterpart that is automatically set to 4 players.
MR Kulve Taroth - How to Beat
Same Mechanics as Arch-Tempered Kulve Taroth

The MR Kulve Taroth quest is basically the same as its Arch-Tempered raid where you'll fight Kulve Taroth across multiple areas. However, this time, it immediatly begins in the 2nd stage & you'll finally be able to defeat and carve it for materials.
3 Areas to Pass Through

Deal enough damage to Kulve Taroth to make it retreat to a lower part of its base. Get to the 3rd area and slay it to complete the quest!
MR Kulve Taroth - First Area
Flinch Shot Kulve Taroth to Walls

Kulve Taroth doesn't go down when it is flinched shot, but it will receive a great deal of damage when it connects to a wall. You can use your Temporal Mantle to attach to Kulve Taroth without being shaken off.
Wound Kulve Taroth to Create Weak Spots

When Kulve Taroth is not in its Molten State, you can wound it in its various body parts to create weak spots. This is recommended to increase the damage and get Critical Damage..
Do Not Mount Kulve Taroth Here
Although you can build up your mount in this section, it's not recommended to do it this early in the raid. Save the mounts for the 3rd Part where bringing down Kulve Taroth is essential.
MR Kulve Taroth - Second Area
Use Boulders Against Kulve Taroth

Bait Kulve Taroth to stand under boulders and use a slinger/bullet to bring it down. This is a huge burst of damage to help you reach the required damage for the area.
MR Kulve Taroth - Final Area
Sleep, Paralyze if Possible
Since this is the final push and all focus needs to be on the horns, paralyzing or sleeping Kulve Taroth is great here.
MR Kulve Taroth- Elemental & Other Weaknesses

The following information is based on the current HR Kulve Taroth. We'll update this if there are other changes in MR Kulve Taroth.

Kulve Taroth's newest move is an ultimate attack that brings down the ceiling of its cave. Escape the falling rocks by looking up to see their position.
Clutch Claw to Kulve when Caught in Lava

When you find yourself in a pool of Lava that Kulve Taroth has spewed, you can get out of it quicker by clutching on to Kulve and moving away. You can choose to flinch or wound it before going down.
Lunge Slam at 3rd Area has Bigger Range
Because of the molten rock that spews after it lunges, Kulve Taroth's lunge slam has a bigger hitbox and can catch you even if you're a bit far from it. The best thing to do here is to run to the other side or use your shield to block if you have one.

Tips for MR Kulve Taroth

- Use Partbreaker skill
- Bring Wide-Range or group healing items

- Since a large portion of her damage is Fire Based, the Fireproof Mantle is a really good tool to use.
- Avoid trying to block her standing downward punch and leaping body slam because they drain > stamina with Guard 5. Lance's power guard does not drain stamina on impact and thus should be the only weapon to attempt to guard these moves.
- The gold that falls off of the ceiling after she climbs the center spire cannot blocked, even with Guard Up.
