Cuts through like butter
Glavenus is yet another returning monster for Monster Hunter World Iceborne, and this one is rather unique. The main gimmick here is that Glavenus likes to use its massive tail like a cleaver, igniting it for extra power, and burning anything it touches. It also has a short temper and will frequently become enraged, making its attacks deadlier.

Once you’re ready to begin the expansion, you’ll find a few hunters gathered near the gate in Astera.
Glavenus weaknesses and resistances
Glavenus is a creature that likes to ignite its tail with fire, so it should be obvious that fire weapons are just not going to work well against it.You’ll want to bring your best water weapons into this fight. None of the ailments are especially good or bad, even blast works just as well against it. If you don’t have access to water weapons out of your best equipment, any ailment-based, ice, or dragon weapons have decent effectiveness against it.
How to hunt Glavenus
Glavenus has a large number of attacks that are mostly centred around its massive tail. Your main strategy is to chip away at is armour with Clutch Claw weapon attacks, and counter-attacking after it has performed one of its many moves.
Why am I not doing much damage to Glavenus?
What happens when Glavenus becomes enraged?
Whenever Glavenus becomes enraged, it’ll grow spines on its tail (you can also look at the mini-map for a red eye icon). This means that you should be looking out for the tail slam attack as it will now happen twice. As forhow to dodge the double tail attack, dodge to the first attack as normal, then dodge in the opposite direction, as the angle of the tail slams is slightly different.
When enraged, Glavenus also becomes a lot more aggressive. Don’t try to latch onto it at this point as you won’t be able to get a weapon attack in. Instead, focus on dodging all of its attacks and only clutch claw attacking when it stops. You’ll want to keep your slinger stocked to knock it down when it calms down to yellow.
There are a few other things to watch out for in this fight, so here are a few more tips:
