What is the Kulve Taroth Siege

A 16 Player Hunt

Kulve Taroth .png

This Siege is a 16 player event where all the hunter's progress stacks with each other. This progress comes in the form of the Pursuit level where the higher the pursuit level, the easier the hunt will become. While it is a 16 player hunt, you can only initiate the siege in groups of 4 so do not expect all hunters to see together when hunting the Kulve Taroth.

Goal is to Repel the Kulve Taroth

It is impossible to kill Kulve Taroth during the Siege, breaking its horn marks the end of the siege. Carving the horn can net you several rewards such as the rare Kulve Taroth weapons.

How to Beat Arch-Tempered Kulve Taroth

We have a guide on defeating the Kulve Taroth, while the details from the MR quest where your goal is kill Kulve Taroth, most steps remain the same except for the following:

  1. During the siege, you start in Phase 1 where Kulve Taroth first roams the western side of the map. Here, you can use the Wedge beetles to move across the map and use your ammo on the archs to make it fall on Kulve Taroth.
  2. It is impossible to kill Kulve Taroth at this quest. The quest The Fury of El Dorado which is an MR quest is where your goal is to truly slay Kulve Taroth. (note that this quest is not a siege and must be completed by 4 players only.)
