Mind's Eye Skill Effect

Skill Effects Per Level

Mind's Eye Skill
Your attacks are deflected less and deal more damage to hard targets.
Level Effect
1 50% chance of your attacks not being deflected, +10% damage to hard targets.
2 100% chance of your attacks not being deflected, +15% damage to hard targets.
3 100% chance of your attacks not being deflected, +30% damage to hard targets.

No Effect on Bows and Bowguns

Mind's Eye has no effect when using Bows, Light Bowguns, and Heavy Bowguns. The skill is tailored for melee weapons, allowing them to strike through a monster’s tougher body parts without getting deflected.

Effective Against Non-4 Star Weak Spots

On top of preventing your attacks from being deflected, Mind's Eye is effective against monster weak spots rated 3 stars or lower. However, there are some exceptions where certain parts do not take increased damage.

You can check for weak spots in the Large Monster Field Guide. Hit R1/RB/E-key to go to the second page then press Triangle/Y/R-key (default controls for PS, Xbox, PC respectively).

Damage Increase Against Certain Parts

The following table shows a damage comparison of the uncharged draw attack of the Hope Blade IV with and without Mind's Eye 3.

Note that not all parts receive increased damage from Mind's Eye.

minds eye is much stronger than it was before! Before, I believe it was below 40 hitzone to trigger it. But they expanded it, its below 45. So even juicy parts w 42 hitzone, like the fore arms of gore magala, can benefit. And a wounded body part that used to be hard, like training barrel w 40 hitzone ( its prob 60 when wounded) will still get the buff, so its as if that part was insanely soft, its just like hitting the monsters weak point.
