💪 How STRONG is the new Assassin's Hood? | Monster Hunter World 💪

Hot or NOT? I take the Assassin's Hood out for various tests to show off the mechanics and gauge its power.

Putting the monsters to sleep then hiding in the bush does not work because he is still dreaming of you

[BaxtheIronth]

Seems more useful for Exploration grinding

[omgdontstealvids]

Might be good for speed-running eh?







I'll leave

[MrPulcar]

Why not the Ezio's costume from Brotherhood as a 5 pieces skin? Damn Capcom...

[LadyTsunade]

For the sleep bonus damage plus mantle bonus damage testing - since monsters don't de-aggro when using sleep element, maybe test it on monsters that flee to their nest and fall asleep, since fleeing monsters de-aggro.
Best way to tell when a monster has de-aggro'd is to watch the outline of the mini-map - if it's still red, you're still aggro'd; if it's purple, the monster has lost sight of you and is actively looking for you; and if it's white the monster has not seen you and isn't looking for you, or is fleeing and not aggro'd.

I think the speed bonus is pretty useful.... extreme behemoth meteors will be easier to outrun

[SunLovinSolaire]

I just wish Capcom would stop making layered armor that turns your character into another character.

[Ostrid]

So Lance sprint attack will make me feel like I'm running in the 90s?

[kogarasumaruv]

Probs be more useful when iceborne drops, allowing players to explore the new terrain

[Kristopher_McPherson]

Dude, you hit for 442 without the hood and then 468 with the hood. Try it with a melee weapon like the Ignition GS for the next test, I think you might have missed something

[SolVentulus]

What if you used the ghillie mantle and used the meat that puts monster to sleep (forgot what it's called) for a test? That way you can get it to fall asleep without getting aggro from the monster in the first place. Seems like a lot of work, but for the purpose of testing, it could be worthwhile.

[huntercrow]

secret event is Great Dodogama
USJ sized dodo with 10 mini dodo

[doha]

One last test remains, when there will be 2 monsters in the same area. Because when a monster is asleep, I think even Agitator goes away, haven't notice that though, don't use it that much. Also the method I am suggesting will work only with monsters that are compatible in pairs, so only Rath Duo or Teo/Luna, when they are together, put one to sleep and you can use smoke bomb to trigger hiding buff.

[donbisesi]

The secret event is 10 arch tempered poogies, they want revenge

[ramadhanbenny]

gonna be great for gathering items and footprints on early iceborne. also, gotta try with egg quests as well

[SnowyGrass]

this would be good for the tempered tracks farming

[platinomnom]

Update: it did work with 10% dmg bonus that can be added to wake up bonus.
In Kappa's Lair vid he demo'd it working with smoke bomb and flash bomb as well. Cool!

I think it worked when i woke up Shrieking Legiana with wyvern ammo.
She went to sleep on her nest after a round of fighting. Naturally no aggro on me that time then the moment i hit her the mantle lost its effect. Not sure if it's because of the duration or bonus dmg.
I will test again soon.

[ceramicdragon]

You will need two people for this, the first person will start the fight and put the monster to sleep while the second person who wasn't in the area at the time comes in, puts it on and tries the wake up attack. Tell me if it's work.

[GalanDestroyer]

I'm more excited for the super fun event quest taty gives the mantle and layered than the mantle and layered themselves. Thanks for another one, +TheGameconomist!

[Radd]

Maybe put the hood on AFTER sleeping the monster?? (might work?)
