Area 10, 11, 12

Discover the secrets of Areas 10, 11, and 12 on the Deserted Island in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Learn about monster habits, loot spots, and strategic advantages.

Alright, let's dive into Areas 10, 11, and 12 on the Deserted Island in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. These areas are pretty unique, especially since a good chunk of them are underwater. They're known to be hangouts for some of the bigger monsters, so keep your wits about you!

Deserted Island Area 10

This is a massive area, split right down the middle between underwater and beach. It's a prime spot for large monsters like the Lagiacrus and Plesioth. You'll notice the underwater pillars here; bigger sea monsters can actually break these, which is pretty wild. Keep an eye out for the Lagiacrus, as it likes to hop onto the shore to regain its stamina. If you're looking to catch a Plesioth, try using a Frog lure to pull it onto the land – it's a neat trick!

Loot Spots in Area 10:

• Seafloor Bones x2
• Mining x2
• Fishing

Deserted Island Area 11

This area is entirely underwater, and it can be a bit of a pain because there aren't many places to duck out of sight. Remember, this place is both tall and wide, giving you a lot of space to maneuver. Use this to your advantage! The safest spot is usually the 'funnel' on the west side, where the sun is coming from. Monsters have a tough time following you up there, making it a good place to quickly heal up or sharpen your weapon.

Loot Spots in Area 11:

• Seafloor Bones x2

Deserted Island Area 12

This is a small underwater nest. It might seem cramped, but you'll usually only end up here when a fight is already winding down. Water-based monsters, from the Royal Ludroth all the way up to the Lagiacrus, will often retreat here to rest and recover. So, if you're chasing a wounded monster, this is likely where it'll try to make its last stand.

Loot Spots in Area 12:
