How To Find Deviljho
Deviljho will invade 6★ quests, 7★ quests, and high rank expeditions once players have completed the investigation for the “??? Rathian” in the main story. When players load up, they will get a prompt saying that Deviljho is found somewhere in the world. For the fastest way to find him:
- Load up your world map and check all the locations for a ??? Monster
- If there is no ??? Monster, head to any area.
- Once in that area, bring up your world map again and check again to see if he appeared
- Once you find ??? Monster, head into that area and hunt him.

It is best to collect his tracks and capture him but slaying him is fine too.
“The Food Chain Dominator”
Capcom has introduced a new special assignment “The Food Chain Dominator” to the quest board in Astera. This is the special quest that will properly introduce Deviljho to players. This special quest has to be solo-ed until The Handler is free to escape, then players may use an SOS flare.

After players have collected enough Deviljho’s tracks, head back to Astera to check in with the Jovial Scholar for a cutscene; this will unlock the Deviljho special assignment. Players will have to hunt a Deviljho in Ancient Forest. Hunters will be able to acquire the new mantle, Dragonproof Mantle, after completing the mission. At this time, there is no tempered Deviljho investigations.

Today’s Special Hunter Flambe
After Players finish The Food Chain Dominator Quest, players will be able to find the 7 ★ Optional Quest: Today’s Special Hunter Flambe.

Dragonproof Mantle
The newest mantle Capcom introduced in this Spring Update. Details of this mantle were hidden from everyone and is a delightful surprise.
- Increases dragon damage while increasing dragon resistance.
- This mantle will be good while using Deviljho’s weapons or any dragon element weapon.

- Slightly reduced the amount that the Scoutfly Level (which is tied to monster research levels) gauge decreases after each quest.
- In the “Online Session” menu, the name for the menu command “Squad Session Search” was changed to “Create/Search for a Squad Session” (the function is the same).
- Adjustable subtitles size.
- Added the “Text Size” setting for changing subtitle text size, under Start Menu > Options Game Settings.

Weapon Adjustments
- All % are rounded up to the nearest percent.
Bow

- Attack power increases from effects other than of the Artillery Skill (explosions on Impact Phials) were adjusted.

- Super Amped Element Discharge stun values for Impact Phials were lowered.
- Phial stun values were increased for all attacks besides Super Amped Element Discharge
- Elemental values increased for all attack phials

Gun Lance
- Will receive stronger wyvern blasts with less sharpness.
- Shelling damage will increase* when sharpness is yellow or worse.

- Video evidence appears that sharpness lost was decreased by ~60%
