Toxin Mine in Monster Hunter Wilds: What Does It Mean?
The Toxin Mine is a strategic tool used by hunters in Monster Hunter Wilds to deal with formidable monsters. It is a deployable item that releases toxic fumes, inflicting status effects on nearby creatures.
Usage and Mechanics
The Toxin Mine can be placed on the ground during a hunt. Once triggered by a monster's movement or a hunter's attack, it releases a cloud of poison gas. This gas can cause the Poison Status Effect, gradually depleting a monster's health over time.
- To deploy a Toxin Mine, access your item wheel and select the mine.
- Place it strategically where the monster is likely to step, such as near its path or when it is stationary.
- The effectiveness of the Toxin Mine may depend on the monster's resistance to poison.
Strategic Considerations
When using a Toxin Mine, consider the following tactical elements:
- Positioning: Place mines in narrow passages or near the monster's feeding area to increase the chance of activation.
- Timing: Deploy mines when the monster is unaware or distracted, such as during Environmental Traps.
- Monster Type: Some monsters, like the Thunderfang Wyvern, might have higher resistance to toxins, making mines less effective.
Crafting and Availability
Toxin Mines can be crafted using materials found in the wild, often requiring Herbs and Explosive Powder. Hunters should ensure they have an adequate supply before embarking on a hunt.
These mines are particularly useful in team hunts, where multiple players can coordinate to lead the monster into traps, maximizing the Toxin Mine's potential.
