The Monster Hunter Now Vernal Invader update has been announced, bringing with it a wave of new content. There’s the introduction of the Charge Blade, new Season Pass, layered armor, and new monsters. 

However, the deadliest wyvern to be added to the game in the upcoming update is none other than, Deviljho. This nomadic Brute wyvern is known for its aggression and insatiable hunger. 

So, to help you prepare for Deviljho’s debut in Monster Hunter Now, we’ve covered everything you need to know about its release date and weakness.

Deviljho will be released as part of The Vernal Invader update.

Monster Hunter Now Deviljho location

During The Vernal Invader update, will appear at random within the desert, forest, and swamp habitats during volatile territories. If a Hunter battles a large monster that is within the volatile territory, Deviljho may invade the hunt. 

This will remove the original monster and force players to face Deviljho or flee it entirely. So, if you want to farm up Deviljho gear, then you’ll need to be on the lookout for volatile territories.

Learning Deviljho’s weakness is incredibly important.

In past Monster Hunter games, Deviljho has been historically weak to both Dragon and Thunder. This will also likely be the case in Monster Hunter Now, so we recommend either using your Pink Rathian materials to make the Dragon element Bow or utilizing a Zinogre or Tobi-Kadachi weapons.

Monster Hunter Now Deviljho armor 

While Niantic has yet to release details on the Monster Hunter Now Deviljho armor set, they did announce that the Latent Power armor skill would be returning. This armor skill was a core part of the Deviljho armor, so it’s likely this skill will be featured in its armor. 

Latent Power temporarily increases both your affinity and reduces stamina depletion during combat. This makes it particularly useful for those who want to maximize their damage output and maintain their mobility. 

Given Monster Hunter Now doesn’t feature a stamina bar, it’s unclear how the stamina reduction will work. As always, we’ll be sure to update this article as and when new information comes to light.
