Monster Hunter Wilds

How to Use Ghillie Mantle

Add to Watchlist

Monster Hunter Wilds - How to Use Ghillie Mantle.pngThe Ghillie Mantle is a Fixed Item used for stealth, allowing the hunter to perform certain actions undetected. Learn how to use the Ghillie Mantle and see its uses here.

How to Use Ghillie Mantle




Assists in Initiating Sneak Attacks

The Ghillie Mantle can be used to sneak up on unsuspecting monsters undetected to deliver a sneak attack that deals significant damage to the target.

Note that the Ghillie Mantle will stop working once the Hunter performs an attack or is hit, so be prepared for the fight that will follow.

How to Sneak Attack Monsters

Use the Ambush Skill to Increase Damage

Ambush Skill
Temporarily increases the damage to large monsters with a successful Sneak Attack.
Level Effect
1 Attack +5% while active.
2 Attack +10% while active.
3 Attack +15% while active.

Players can also use the Ghillie Mantle while equipping the Ambush skill. Combining the item and skill can sufficiently increase a player's initial DPS on a Large Monster, as it can give them an early attack boost after a successful sneak attack.

Ambush Skill Effects

Capturing Endemic Life

While most Endemic Life can be captured with the Capture Net without much difficulty, some can be quite elusive, such as the Sandstar, as they will flee if the hunter gets too close.

In situations like this, the Ghillie Mantle can be quite useful, as it would not alert the Endemic Life to the hunter's presence, allowing them to capture it.

Sneak by the Enemy

The Ghillie Mantle can also be used to cross parts of the map undetected. This is useful when the Hunter wants to avoid unnecessary combat.

Can Be Used To Temporarily Retreat

The Ghillie Mantle can also be used to temporarily reduce the monster's aggression towards you, giving you a chance to retreat from battle.

This can be used in many ways. Primarily, it can be used to perform actions that make the hunter vulnerable, such as consuming potions or using the whetstone to restore weapon sharpness.

Can Be Used in Multiplayer Mode

In multiplayer, this allows the hunter to temporarily retreat and the monster will automatically target someone else. This can be used in conjunction with Luring Pods to manipulate the aggression of the monster.

This gives the allied hunters some breathing room if they need it, or the opportunity to do other things like set traps.
