Oroshi Kirin

Learn about the Oroshi Kirin, an Elder Dragon of ice, in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Discover its attacks, weaknesses, and how to prepare for this formidable foe.

Deep in the night beyond where humans have ever traveled, there is a black Elder Dragon who is worshipped as the harbinger of the silent winter. But those that disturb its sleep will pay. Oroshi Kirin has emerged from its hiding place, ready to take on its stubborn—and foolish—challengers. Incarnation of ice itself, Oroshi Kirin will show those who dare rebel against it no mercy. For Oroshi Kirin is not just the quiet kindness of snow. Oroshi Kirin is now harbinger of the silent death.

Areas:

• Everwood
• Tower Summit

Attacks:

Unlike its lightning-wielding cousin, Kirin, the Oroshi Kirin wields ice powers through its horn. The patterns of its ice attacks might remind you of Kirin's lightning, but expect to get hit a lot harder. A crucial difference is that Oroshi Kirin's ice attacks linger on the ground for a while after the initial strike. If you touch this lingering ice, you'll take damage and be inflicted with Iceblight, so you'll need to be extra careful!

• Ice’s Caress: Oroshi Kirin will toss its horn, causing giant ice glaciers to erupt from the ground in set patterns, similar to Kirin's lightning patterns.
• Frozen Daggers: Oroshi Kirin will throw its head back, and ice will erupt from the ground in a straight line directly in front of it.

Breakable Parts:

Oroshi Kirin shares all its breakable parts with the regular Kirin.

Weaknesses:

• Elemental: Fire, Water
