How To Obtain Arkveld Calloushell in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Everything you need to know about Arkveld Calloushell in Monster Hunter Wilds, how to obtain it, part breaks, and more.

Arkveld is arguably one of the toughest monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, especially so when you’re grinding it in High Rank. Although you do get to fight the Guardian variant of the monster in Low Rank, you can’t replay the encounter against it, until you reach High Rank. This also means that you cannot farm materials from Arkveld in Low Rank. However, in High Rank, you can fight Arkveld multiple times, be it via Optional Quests or Investigations.

One of the reasons why you would want to replay the battle against the flagship is to get the Arkveld Calloushell drop from it. Arkveld Calloushell is used to craft almost all Arkveld and Guardian Arkveld gear. As such, it’s something you would want to keep stocked up. However, as is the case with any rare monster drop, getting Arkveld Calloushell is much easier said than done. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain Arkveld Calloushell in Monster Hunter Wilds.

What Is Arkveld Calloushell in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Arkveld Calloushell is essentially a part of Arkveld’s chain-like appendages. You obtain these upon breaking its chains, either using Focus Strike or regular attacks on wounds. Although you can also obtain Arkveld Calloushell by carving or even capturing Arkveld, the drop rates are incredibly low.

The only guaranteed way to get the Arkveld Calloushell is to break the chain-like appendages on its forelimbs. The material can be obtained from both regular and Tempered Arkveld. However, getting it from the regular one is much easier compared to the Tempered variant, simply due to its higher overall defense and resistance to partbreak.

Ideally, you can get two Arkveld Calloushells guaranteed per encounter, given you’re able to break the monster’s chains. However, the material can also drop as a “quest completion reward” upon successfully slaying or capturing the Arkveld.

How To Easily Obtain Arkveld Calloushell?

Arkveld’s chains are prone to both blunt and slash damage. As such, regardless of which weapon you decide to use, it is possible to break them. However, the chains also have incredibly high resistance to damage, since they serve as the main weapon the monster wields against Hunters and its prey. Due to this, breaking the chain can be quite challenging, unless you’re able to create wounds on them consistently.

The chains can be wounded at the center and also at their tips. Furthermore, if you’re fighting the Tempered variant, you first need to damage the tempered wound before you can deal Partbreak or create new wounds on the chains.

The easiest method that helps deal a ton of damage to the chains is to use Focus Strike on the chains right after Arkveld uses its Dragon Elemental AOE attack. For a short while after the AOE, the entire chain is littered with temporary wounds. If you’re able to hit the chains right after the AOE, you will not only be dealing a ton of damage to the wounds but will also get a free topple. Another way to guarantee a Calloushell drop is to get a successful “wake-up attack” on Arkveld’s chains.
