All Types of Mantles in Monster Hunter Wilds

There are currently five Mantles in Monster Hunter Wilds. Each has its own unique ability, and some are easier to obtain than others. Let’s go through them one by one.

1. Ghillie Mantle

• Effect: Makes you invisible to monsters, allowing you to sneak up for surprise attacks.

2. Rocksteady Mantle

• Effect: Blocks knockbacks, reduces damage, negates wind effects, and prevents being stunned by roars.
• How to get it: Complete the Black Flame Low Rank story quest. Then, visit the Windward Plains base camp and talk to Gemma. She’ll hand over the Rocksteady Mantle, along with a Shockproof Jewel.

3. Mending Mantle

• Effect: Heals you back to full health after a short delay.
• How to get it: Defeat Xu Wu in the Ruins of Wyveria. Then, return to base camp and speak with Gemma.

4. Evasion Mantle

Which Mantles Are the Best To Use?

Not all Mantles are created equal. If you want to maximize your effectiveness, focus on these two:

• Evasion Mantle: Great for dodging and dishing out extra damage. If you time your evasions perfectly, your attack power increases. Perfect for both melee and ranged fighters.
• Corrupted Mantle: The go-to for pure damage. It works wonders for weapons that rely on critical hits, like the Long Sword and Bow. Just be mindful of the health drop.

Once you’ve unlocked a Mantle, here’s how to use it:

• PS5:
  • Hold L1 and press Square to cycle through your Mantles.
  • Press Square again to equip the selected Mantle.
