Monster Hunter Rise is home to dozens of hostile beasts encroaching on human territory, and only hunters can protect Kamura Village from the advances of these insatiable beasts. The Volvidon, a fanged beast reminiscent of an armadillo, a monster that players must kill during their adventure. The medium-sized monster may not be the biggest enemy in the game, but Volvidon still offers a challenge. Those who underestimate this monster are sure to fall in battle, so make sure you're prepared for a tough fight by studying its weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.
All of Volvidon's Weaknesses
Volvidon's Elemental Weakness
Volvidon's main weakness is Water, so bring any weapon imbued with this element to deal the most damage. If water is out of the question, try getting an ice tool instead, as it's an effective second option if it's a bit weaker than water. If all else fails, be sure to pick up a thunder weapon as it's a great third option in this fight. Do not use fire or dragon weapons in the battle against Volvidon. This monster is immune to damage of this type.
Those with water weapons should aim their attacks at Volvidon's head, upper half, and back. If you brought Ice or Thunder gear, focus your attacks on the head.
