Seltas

Learn how to defeat the male Seltas in Monster Hunter Generations. Discover its weaknesses, attack patterns, and how to handle its mucus balls and charges.

Alright, let's talk about the Seltas! Don't let its small size fool you, this guy can still be a nuisance if you're not prepared. Think of it as the male of the species, and while it's not a powerhouse, it's got a couple of tricks up its sleeve that can make your hunt a bit… sticky.

Where to Find Seltas:

You'll encounter Seltas in a few different locales:

• Jurassic Frontier: It tends to start in Area 2, roam through Areas 4, 5, and 7, and might rest in Area 8.
• Ancestral Steppe: You'll find it starting in Area 4, roaming Areas 8 and 9, and resting in Area 7.
• Primal Forest: It typically starts in Area 5, roams Areas 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9, and rests in Area 3.

Seltas's Attacks:

Here's what you need to watch out for:

• Claw Swipe: It'll use those sharp claws to try and scratch you up. Pretty standard stuff.
• 360 Claw Swipe: This is a bit more dangerous, as it spins around to catch you with its claws. Try to dodge away when you see it winding up.
• Mucus Ball: This is probably its most annoying attack. It spits yellowish mucus from its rear, and it's surprisingly accurate, even from a distance. If this hits you, it'll cause Defense Down, making you take more damage. Definitely try to avoid getting hit by this!
• Horn Charge: It'll fly at you quickly, sometimes even coming back for a second pass. Keep an eye on it when it takes to the air.

Weaknesses and Breakable Parts:

Seltas is most vulnerable to Fire and Thunder attacks, so bring weapons of those elements if you can. The only part you can break on Seltas is its Horn.

Fighting alongside Seltas Queen:

If you're fighting a Seltas Queen, you'll almost always have a Seltas buddy present. Don't worry too much about the Seltas in this scenario; if you manage to kill it, the Seltas Queen will just summon another one. Focus on the Queen!
