This Heres Big Horn Country Monster Hunter World Iceborne Optional Quest

Our next Optional Quest in Monster Hunter World Iceborne is “This Heres Big Horn Country” this is a hunt for a Banbaro in the Elder’s Recess area. This is the next quest in the chain after “Ice Catch”. Completing this quest will upgrade your Vitality Mantle to a Vitality Mantle +.

The Vitality Mantle offers an extra layer of protection by absorbing a fixed amount of damage for the hunter. By upgrading it to a Vitality Mantle + it also gains two gem slots, by equipping gems to the slots you will gain whatever benefit they confer only while wearing the mantle. In my opinion this makes defensive gems the best bet, as your likely to be worried about taking hits if you are donning this mantle.

Remember that since you’ll be fighting Banbaro in the Elders Recess he will now inflict Fireblight instead of Iceblight. He still retains his weaknesses to Dragon and Fire elements as well as the usual weak points on the head and back legs. His head, legs, and tail are all breakable, or severable.
