Assassin's Hood - How To Unlock
TBCAssassin's Hood - How To Use
Quickly Take Down Monsters
With the Assassin's Hood equipped, the hunter can deal a large amount of damage to unsuspecting monsters. Recommended for hunters who wish to quickly dispatch monsters that do not require the use of Temporal or Fireproof Mantles.
Bonus Effects Disappear if Noticed by Monsters
Once noticed by the monster, the damage bonus disappears. To circumvent this, make use of bushes and approach from behind. Making use of a Ghillie Mantle also allows the hunter to reset the monster's alertness.
Best Partnered with Strong One-hit Weapons
As the Assassin's Hood greatly empowers a single attack from the hunter, maximizing this buff by using high-damage charged attacks like those from the Great Sword, is highly recommended.
