During the Monster Hunter Now Diablos Invasion event, Diablos will appear more frequently in desert regions. All hunters need to do is head over to any desert biomes and begin hunting this horned beast. 

The increased Diablos spawns will undoubtedly prove useful to any players who are looking to farm up Diablos materials for the armor set and powerful weapons. Time-limited Event Quests will also be available, which will enable players to snap pictures of Diablos in AR mode to earn extra rewards.

Monster Hunter Now Diablos weakness

As the Monster Hunter Now event focuses on Diablos, you’ll want to utilize weapons that exploit its weakness and deal massive amounts of damage to it. After all, this will keep your hunts short and enable you to increase your chances of getting this all-important monster part breaks. 

Monster Hunter Now Diablos is weak to the following elements: 

  • Ice 
  • Dragon
  • Paralysis 

We recommend you build an Ice weapon type from the Legiana weapon tree or simply build a high raw damage weapon if you don’t have access to this monster. Doing so will enable you to easily obliterate any Diablos you come across, making even the highest-level hunts much more manageable. 

So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about the Monster Hunter Now Diablos Invasion event. For more Monster Hunter Now content, be sure to check out our guides below:
