Infernal Monarchy Optional Quest Monster Hunter World Iceborne
Our next Optional Quest in Monster Hunter World Iceborne is the High-Rank quest, Infernal Monarchy. This sees us off to the Wildspire Wastes to hunt both a Lunastra and Teostra. This quest is unlocked once you’ve completed the Blazing Sun questline and the quest No Remorse, No Surrender.
I don’t know how it happened, but we have the chance to observe Teostra and Lunastra behavior in the Wildspire Waste! This is something we can’t miss! Go see for yourself, but don’t get hurt!
Monster Hunter World Iceborne
You have about 5 minutes at the start of the quest while there is only one of the Elder Dragons on the map. After that time is up you’ll likely have the 2nd one fly into the same area you are fighting the first.
Remember that these two Elder Dragon’s do not engage in Turf Wars. They actually team up while together and gain access to powerful and unique abilities only available while they are together. In particular, they can do a combo Supernova. If you see they are both charged for it, take extreme care. It is highly likely you will cart as a result of the damage it puts out.
The best strategy is to wait until they seperate and take them on one by one. You can use items like dungpods to make one flee the area while you deal with the other as well.
As with all of the other quests involving these two, you’re going to want 20+ Fire Resistance and Heat Guard. You can use gems to get you to both of these skills. Fire Resistance of above 20 means you wont suffer fireblight, it will also greatly reduce the fire elemental damage you take in the fight. Heat Guard will prevent Teostra and Lunastras heat aura’s from constantly draining your health while you try to fight them.
Both Dragons also share a common elemental weakness to Ice, and Dragon to a lessor extent.
