Velkhana Combat Info

This icy new monster seems to be somewhere between a Rathalos and a Legiana, and is the main antagonist of the expansion, in the way that Nergigante was to the original launch.

• Kinsect Extracts:
  • Red: Head/Tail
  • White: Wings/Forelegs
  • Orange: Hindlegs
• Enraged mode: Velkhana will scream and rise into the air.
  
  • Velkhana will also use her ice beam attacks at shorter intervals
  • The Enraged mode is completely independent from its Ice-covered Form.
  • She is susceptible to double Slinger Burst into a wall, if fast enough (Slinger Capacity is recommended if you intend to use this tactic)
• Ice-covered Form
  • Velkhana will cover its body in icicles. The icicles become its weak spots and can be broken off.
  • Velkhana will be extra aggressive when in this form.
  • It gains a variety of new ice attacks, such as using moisture in the air to create ice crystals that can fall on hunters, as well as summoning a cluster of ice that expands outward from the original targeted area.
  • Its ice beam will create walls of ice that impede your movement.
  • Most ice beam and ice breath attacks now also summon clusters of ice that shoot out of the ground along the path of the attack, bursting shortly after, and dealing large damage as well as knocking the hunter back.
• Tips and notes:
  • Iceproof Mantle can be extremely useful in this fight.
  • Velkhana's breath inflicts Iceblight, which it will project long range and all around itself when in the air.
  • Instead of building up to 20 Ice resistance for Iceblight  immunity, the Resuscitate skill can be used to cancel the effect of Iceblight.
  • Keep in mind that its ice beam can not only shoot through its walls of ice, but occasionally the floor
  • While in the air, a Slinger Burst will generally knock Velkhana to the ground unless it is enraged.
  • While it's covered in its Ice-Armour, the parts of its body covered in ice become weak points, while the rest of its body becomes resistant to attacks.
    
    • It will also leave clouds of frost on the floor. These can be used to go into the sliding animation on flat terrain and perform a sliding attack
    • Breaking Velkhana's head or tail will sometimes stagger her out of her Ice-covered Form
    • When in Velkhana's Ice-covered Form, she will still have a functioning tail to attack with even after severing it off
  • The ice walls formed by Velkhana's attacks can be broken by attacking them
    • Torch Pods can also be used to melt the ice walls
    • After being broken/melted, the ice walls will leave behind a small platform of ice that you can climb on top of and jump off to perform aerial attacks
  • Velkhana's sweeping ice beam attack can actually be dodged by jumping off of a small ledge or platform, if timed right.
    • By timing the jump correctly, the hunter will hop over the ice beam as he jumps off of the ledge/platform.
    • The ice platforms left behind by its ice walls after being broken/melted can be used to perform this maneuver.
• All things considered, this is probably the hardest mandatory fight of Iceborne. If you saved your Potions and Drugs for the right moment, now is the time to use them.
