Increase Dragon Resistance and Defense
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| Skills | Defensive (Armor)
・Dragon Resistance ┗ +20 Res at Lv. 3 ・Divine Blessing ・Stun Resistance ・Gogmapocalypse (Set Bonus) ┗ Barrier at Lv. 2 ・Lord's Soul (Group Skill) Defensive (Weapon) ・Guard ・Guard Up Evasive ・Evade Window ・Evade Extender |
| Meals | Fresh Sild Cuisine (Grand Hub) ┗ +10 Res ・Capture Pro Meal ・Insurance Meal ・Moxie Meal (Hi) |
AT Arkveld hits hard with a lot of area-of-effect (AoE) and follow-up attacks, so we recommend you get as much defensive or comfort skills as you can before you become more confident in maximizing damage.
Increase your Dragon Resistance to at least 20 through skills, armor, or meals to nullify dragonblight and reduce the damage taken from its dragon attacks.
It's also important to improve your defense by upgrading your armor through the use of Armor Spheres and Armor Transcendence.
Bring and Use Nulberries
 Nulberry
|
Several of Arkveld's attacks inflict Dragonblight. When you are afflicted, your weapon will deal no deal elemental damage, significantly lowering your damage output. This is a lot of risk of element-focused builds, and this also means you won't be able to deal Dragon damage, Arkveld's elemental weakness.
Consuming a Nulberry will remove the inflicted Dragonblight on your character, allowing you to output your build's maximum damage and exploit Arkveld's weakness to Dragon element.
Use Dragon Element Weapons
Arch-Tempered Arkveld is mostly weak to the Dragon element (specifically its chainblade wings). You'll want to focus on maximizing raw damage first, but If you have any space to fit in elemental skills, we recommend increasing it through Dragon Attack, Gogmapocalypse, or Coalescence. Hit its chainblades to deal the most amount of damage.
We recommend the use of Gogma Artian weapons for the most flexibility and stat boosts. These weapons can be rolled to maximize their base affinity and attack, as well as give additional Set Bonus and Group Skills to match with your existing armor.
New Arkveld Unleashed State
|
・Arkveld's Unleashed State allows AT Arkveld to generate Wylk crystals on attacks, similar to Zoh Shia and other Guardian monsters.
┗ This state features increased wound regeneration for AT Arkveld. ┗ Elemental slingers can detonate Wylk crystals. ・Stronger attack moves with AoE properties. |
Arch-Tempered Arkveld features an enhanced state, known as Unleashed State, that is triggered past its regular enraged state. During this state, Arkveld's attacks are enhanced, and it will have more aggressive attack patterns.
To power down its Unleashed State, deal damage to its chainblade wings. For this one, Dragon element is recommended. In this case, we recommend you at least have enough Dragon resistance to nullify dragonblight, or have Nulberries to cure yourself of this affliction.
Use Wylk Crystals Against AT Arkveld
Wylk crystals generated by AT Arkveld's attacks can be used against it by using elemental slinger ammo on them (similar to how they are used against Zoh Shia's Wylk crystals). Have AT Arkveld position itself on this crystals, then set them off to deal some damage.
AT Arkveld's starting area, Area 15, has Wyrmsbane that you can harvest for dragon-element slinger ammo. You can use those to trigger the generated Wylk crystals.
Use Falling Rocks on Arkveld
Use environmental traps to your advantage in the locale. Area 9 notably has an Entangled Rock that can be triggered to fall on Arkveld for around 2000+ damage.
Use Area 13 for a Nearer Popup Camp
For a closer, same-level access to Area 15 where AT Arkveld starts in, you can set up a safe Popup camp in Area 13: Hidden Cave Campsite.
Capture for Faster Quest Clear
AT Arkveld can be captured, so we recommend this method of clearing the hunt if you're after clearing it or farming AT Arkveld as fast as possible. You can use any of the usual traps for the monster: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. Don't forget your Ghillie Mantle in case it turns aggressive when it's ready for capture.
AT Arkveld New Attacks
| New Attacks | |
|---|---|
Chain Uppercut |
AT Arkveld launches upwards while sending its chainblades towards you from its underside. This can be followed-up by another attack. |
Jumping Chain Slam |
A variation of Arkveld's existing downward chainblade slam. A jump is added to allow it to get closer towards you if you are far away. Chainblades are weakspots for a moment after the slam. |
Chain Hook-Slam |
AT Arkveld closes its distance to you by 'hooking' a chainblade in front of you, then slamming down on you. May sometimes be used in betweeen attack strings. |
Dragon Cone-Line Blast |
AT Arkveld sends dragonblight explosions forward in a cone of line patterns. This can happen during attack chains or in isolation. |
Wylk Blast |
A variation of Arkveld's Dragon blast. This generates Wylk crystals instead of dragon explosions. |
Air-to-Surface AoE Slam |
AT Arkveld launches upwards and readies its chainblades to slam towards you. This slam generates Wylk crystals, and is usually followed up by another attack. |
Charged Wylk Blast |
A variation of Arkveld's Charged Dragon Blast. Just like the Dragon version, this has a safe spot close to the front of Arkveld. Leaves weakspots on its chainblades right after, similar to its Dragon version. |
AT Arkveld sports new attack strings along with more varied attack patterns. This means it will be a widely new experience for both of the new and returning player in this hunt.
Some of AT Arkveld's attacks are now able to generate Wylk crystals which explode when hit by an element. This can be triggered either by AT Arkveld itself or from any other source, such as an elemental slinger.
