Title Update 4 New Monsters

Gogmazios

Gogmazios

Gogmazios will be first available to hunt in the extra mission Ghosts Pay No Heed To Tomorrow. Hunter Rank 100 is required to access this quest.

Gogmazios is weak against Dragon element and has a unique interaction with Fire weapons, where its body can be softened with fire attacks, making it easier to land hits and exposes its Dragon weakness.

Arch-Tempered Jin Dahaad

Arch-Tempered Jin Dahaad is now available as of December 23, 2025 (ET). Like the previous AT Nu Udra, AT Jin Dahaad will require Hunter Rank 100 to be accessible and unlocks a gamma armor set.

TU4 Weapon Balance Adjustments

Several patch updates and weapon balance adjustments have arrived in Title Update 4 (Ver. 1.040).

Title Update 4 Patch Notes Ver.1.040.00.00 (Dec 16)

Increased Max Element Cap

Title Update 4 increased the cap for weapon Element. It is now either 400 more than the base element or 2.3x the base element, whichever is higher. This means that 310 element or above will use the multiplier.
