The answer to this process is very explanatory; players have to do severe damage to the tail in order to cut it from the monster’s body. Using a sever weapon can do this job efficiently. A notification can be seen on the right side of the screen after a tail gets cut. After cutting off the tail, players can carve it to get extra materials, and sometimes they can even obtain rare drops.

Additionally, this action weakens the monster and can potentially shorten the range of some monsters. We recommend using the following weapons to cut the tails swiftly:

  • Great Sword
  • Long Sword
  • Dual Blades
  • Lance
  • Sword & Shield
  • Gunlance
  • Switch Axe
  • Charge Blade
  • Insect Glaive

How To Cut Body Parts in Monster Hunter Wilds?

The process of cutting a body part is the same as cutting a tail. Players just need to target and damage the desired part. After doing enough damage, players will get a notification on the right side that states the part is broken.

Unlike tails, breaking other body parts directly impacts the performance of a monster. For example, if a player cuts the wings of a flying monster, it will lose the ability to fly, and the player can slay it quite easily. Moreover, these broken parts can drop useful items. Some monsters are weak to sever weapons, while some are weak towards blunt weapons. Learning about the weakness of a monster is one of the best parts of Monster Hunter Wilds, so make sure to prepare before commencing a hunt.
