Everything in the New Kulve Taroth Update – Monster Hunter World
Capcom decided they wanted to end the Spring Blossom Event with a bit of a bang by releasing a new monster. This new monster is called Kulve Taroth and it brings with it a number of new additions to the game. To help you find out what’s new, here is our everything in the new Kulve Taroth update guide. Let’s get started. (Guide is being updated).
New Monster: Kulve Taroth
The biggest addition in this new update is the monster called Kulve Taroth. This new monster resides in the new area “Caverns of El Dorado” and can be hunted with a group of up to 16 hunter during its special siege mission.
Example of the Gold Chip found while on an Expedition.
Like other monsters in Monster Hunter World, you first need to discover tracks tied to Kulve Taroth before you can hunt it. Luckily for us, you only need to find one track. To do this simply head out on an Expedition and look for a Gold Chip (should be easy to find). Once you’ve discovered the Gold Chip, return to Astera and speak with The Admiral who is found at the Tradeyard spawn. Speak with him to start the questline “Banquet in the Earthen Hall.”
Siege: Kulve Taroth
After you’ve unlocked the quest, you will learn that the Kulve Taroth hunt is a sixteen man siege. This means you can join other sieges or host your own. If doing the siege with sixteen players doesn’t appeal to you, you can host the siege and do it solo (like I did). Though this approach is way harder/slower to do.
How the Kulve Taroth Siege Works?
This quest is a little bit interesting as it focuses heavily on gathering. You want to gather as much material and tracks as possible while completing the siege. Sources of gatherables include mining ores, collecting mats that fall off Kulve Taroth, and killing Gajalaka fo their drops.
While gathering items is a major focus, you want to spend time fighting Kulve Taroth and completing the different objectives which earn you points. These points add to your Reward Level which improves the loot your earn after completing the Siege. Rewards are collected from the Hub Lass. You will see a pop up when rewards are available.
Alongside completing the various objectives, you want to gather tracks/research points. These tracks add to your Pursuit Level which increases Time Remaining and Part Breakability, making the quest easier to complete.
New Armor Sets – Human and Palico
Since there is a new monster to hunt, there are also a couple of new armor sets available for both the humans and Palicos. The human sets come in both the Kulve Taroth alpha and Kulve Taroth beta variety, while the Kulve Taroth Palico set comes in the alpha variety. Check out all the visuals of the sets above and the material requirements of each set below.

New Weapons
There are a number of new weapons which can be earned as rewards as you complete the Kulve Taroth siege. These weapons spawn with random elements, meaning there are different elemental types of the same weapon. As the weapons are found, I will be adding them to this section. Note: Weapons you get will be different from mine.
- Bow – Gold Blast Piercer
- Gun Lance – Gold Water Expoder
- Charge Blade – Gold Thunder Cutter
- Insect Glaive – Spew Gold Naginata
- Hunting Horn – Rage Gold Flute
- Greatsword
New Palico Set: Felyne Samurai Set Alpha
Completing the siege mission will earn you various rewards such as weapons, materials and Bushi Tickets. Bushi Tickets can be used to create the new Palico set called the Felyne Samurai Set. Check out the set above and its requirements in the list below.
- Sword: 2x Bushi Ticket
- Helm: 1x Bushi Ticket
- Armor: 1x Bushi Ticket
Layered Armor – Bushi “Sabi” & Bushi “Homare”
There is a new Layered Armor set available for you if you complete deliveries. These deliveries need to be completed before you can access the new set. To access the deliveries make your way to the Tradeyard and talk to the Resource Center. Most deliveries involve giving a number of Bushi Tickets along with some sort of material. In return you will receive a piece of the Bushi “Sabi” or Bushi “Homare” layered armor sets.
I will be adding more to this everything in the new Kulve Taroth update guide soon. If you want to add something, or have something to add, drop me a line in The Pit down below.
