Mantles are extremely helpful items in Monster Hunter World that provide various buffs for players during hunts. This guide will walk you through how to get all mantles available in Monster Hunter World.
What are Mantles in Monster Hunter World?
Mantles are equipable items that provide unique effects and bonuses for a limited time during a hunt. They can give you an edge against monsters by boosting stats, granting resistance to elements, or providing other beneficial effects. At first, hunters can only equip one mantle per hunt, but after completing the story mode, you unlock the ability to bring multiple mantles on a quest.

Mantle Strategy Tips
- Only one mantle can be equipped at a time, so choose the one that will benefit you the most for each hunt.
- Manage mantle duration wisely. Try to use them during a monster's most dangerous attacks or phases.
- Pair mantles with skills that enhance their effects. For example, combine the Evasion Mantle with Evade Window to dramatically boost invincibility time when dodging.
- Use elemental resistance mantles when facing monsters that rely heavily on fire, ice, water, thunder, or dragon damage.
With the abilities they provide, mantles can make challenging hunts much more manageable. Follow this guide to collect them all and take advantage of their unique bonuses.
