Monster Hunter World Deviljho Update Details
Capcom has officially announced the Monster Hunter World Deviljho update, revealing its release date, new monster, weapons, armor, and the upcoming Spring Blossom Festival. The update launches March 22, bringing the much-anticipated Deviljho, fresh weapon designs, balance changes, and special in-game events.
Deviljho – The First Post-Launch Monster
Deviljho is the first new monster added to Monster Hunter World since its release. Long-time fans will recognize this Brute Wyvern, which has appeared in previous Monster Hunter games. For newcomers, Deviljho is a massive, eel-like T-Rex known for its aggressive nature and devastating attacks.
Where to Find Deviljho
Deviljho behaves similarly to Bazelgeuse—it’s a roaming threat that invades other hunts unexpectedly. You’ll encounter it in 6★ and 7★ quests and High Rank Expeditions after completing the “??? Rathian” investigation during the main story.
Once the update is live, you’ll unlock a special assignment quest to hunt Deviljho after meeting certain conditions.
New Deviljho Armor – Vangis/Greed Set
Since Deviljho is joining the game, hunters will get the chance to craft its Vangis/Greed armor set (available in both α and β variants). While Capcom hasn’t revealed specific skills or set bonuses yet, we can expect abilities that enhance raw attack power, as seen in previous Monster Hunter games.
Armor Design
- Male Hunters: A bulky, intimidating design that complements Deviljho’s monstrous nature.
- Female Hunters: A more minimalistic approach, which some may find lacking compared to the male version.
