Monster Hunter: World has received its only confirmed DLC. However, there is plenty to come as recent rumors discover that there may be others coming. But, thanks to the newest 2.0 update, we have a new threat to deal with and forget about the upcoming additions. With the DLC, a new boss is now present in the game, and that is Deviljho.

Now that we know many changes have been successfully realized, we would love to give you some tips regarding Deviljho. Knowing the weapons speed and effectiveness, make sure you grab a quick weapon rather than slow because the boss appears to be very quick. Also, make sure you have a good armor on you, since Deviljho is a dragon. He sprays a Dragon substance from his mouth, so it’s better if you grab the Dragon Element resistance high.
