Get Attention of Monsters

The Throwing Knife is also useful in drawing Monster attention, especially if the Monster has not targeted you yet.

This method is especially useful after setting up Traps, so that you can direct the Large Monster towards the direction of the traps.

Trigger Bombs From a Distance

The Throwing Knife can be used as a ranged trigger for Large Barrel Bombs and Mega Barrel Bombs so that you can safely detonate it from a distance.

Throw While Riding Seikret

Using the Throwing Knife requires you to sheathe your weapon first. Instead of simply running around on foot when you need to use the Throwing Knife, you can throw it while riding the Seikret, in order to move around freely.
