Monster Hunter Wilds

Iceblight Status Ailment Explained

Add to Watchlist

Iceblight is a Status Ailment in Monster Hunter Wilds that depletes the inflicted hunter's stamina faster. See an explanation for the Iceblight Status Ailment, as well as how to inflict Iceblight on monsters in this guide!

Iceblight Status Ailment Explained

Quickly Depletes Stamina

Regular Dodge No Iceblight Stamina
Dodge with Iceblight Iceblight Stamina

Difference of a regular dodge with and without iceblight.

When the hunter is inflicted with Iceblight, their stamina depletes quicker than normal. Make sure to consume a Nulberry to get rid of the Iceblight quickly before heading back to the fight.

List of Status Effects

How to Remove Iceblight

Status Ailment Wears Off After 60 Seconds

Status ailments like Iceblight will wear off naturally over time, but it's better to get rid of it immediately since attacking and dodging consume stamina, which you will do a lot during fights.

Cure Iceblight by Using Nulberries

Nulberry Nulberry
Type Hunting Item Rarity 2
Sell Price 120 Hold Limit 10
Description
A mysterious berry that cures various blights.

To cure Iceblight, hunters simply need to use a Nulberry.

If you don't have Nulberries, you need to wait until the ice diamond icon disappears from your hunter's status.

List of All Items and Materials

Dodge Roll to Reduce its Duration by 4 Per Roll

Dodge Rolling can be an alternative way to reduce the Iceblight's duration. However, since every roll will consume a massive stamina gauge, be sure to avoid dodge rolling too much or you may find yourself out of stamina in the worst possible position.

Can be Removed Using Purewasps

Purewasps have the same effect as a Nulberry when interacted with so don't hesitate to poke at a Purewasp when you're in need of blight removal.

Purewasp Location and How to Catch

Purewasps Can be Delivered by Palicoes

Purewasps can also be used as a support move by your Palico. Be attentive to their support actions and they may announce that a Purewasp is on the way if you get afflicted by blights.

How to Resist Iceblight

Have an Ice Resist of More Than 20

More than 20 Ice Resist

If your current Ice Res is higher than 20, you'll be immune to Ice Blight. This is effective when fighting against monsters that can dish out fire blight continuously so consider gearing up and increasing your Ice Res against these monsters.

Consider Equipping Ice Resistance Skill

Ice Resistance Icon Ice Resistance Increases ice resistance. Also improves defense at higher levels.

If you wish to hit the 20 Resistance threshold for Ice Blight immunity, consider equipping some Ice Resist skill to push your Ice Resistance value to higher numbers.

Ice Resistance Skill Effects

Ice Resistance Between 10 to 19 Reduces Affliction Rate

While not completely immune, having an Ice Res between 10 and 19 will reduce the rate of getting afflicted by Ice Blight. You'll still get afflicted if you get hit by Iceblight-inflicting attacks so caution is advised.

Blight Resistance Can Nullify Blights

Blight Resistance Icon Blight Resistance Grants protection against all elemental blights.

The Blight Resistance skill can reduce the affliction rate of all blight attacks and can even nullify it at max level. Consider Blight Resistance if you're fighting monsters capable of inflicting these blights on you.

Can You Inflict Iceblight Monsters?

You Cannot Directly Inflict Iceblight

Hunters cannot inflict Blights on monsters, even with Elemental Weapons. Using an Ice-Element Weapon does not allow players to inflict the blight of the corresponding element.
