Before Guardian Arkveld further destabilizes the ecosystem, it must be defeated.

Guardian Arkveld: Strengths and Weaknesses

Weak Points	Head, Tail, Chainblades
Resistant Points	Torso
Elemental Weakness	Dragon
Elemental Resistance	Exhaust
Best Weapon Type	Slashing

Guardian Arkveld's head, tail, and Chainblades are its most vulnerable points. Note that its Chainblades are immune to elemental damage. While Dragon element attacks inflict slightly increased damage on other body parts, the difference is minimal. All status effects (excluding Exhaust) are equally effective. Slashing and Bludgeoning weapons are optimal, though any weapon type is viable.

Recommended Equipment

Recommended Weapons	Doshaguma Line
Recommended Armor	Guardian Ebony

Given the Chainblades' elemental immunity, prioritize physical damage weapons. The Doshaguma weapon line offers superior damage output. The Guardian Ebony armor set is highly recommended, providing excellent Dragon Resistance and beneficial offensive skills like Burst and Ebony Odogaron's Power (enhancing Burst effectiveness). This armor synergizes particularly well with faster weapons such as Dual Daggers or Sword and Shield.

Guardian Arkveld: Combat Strategies and Moves

Guardian Arkveld is an aggressive foe, primarily utilizing its arms and Chainblades. Its attacks often incorporate Wylk energy, adding an explosive element.

A key Wylk-infused attack involves channeling Wylk into an arm before lunging and slamming, creating an explosion. Dodge to the opposite side when you see Wylk accumulating in its arm. These attacks also generate Wylkrystals, which explode upon contact with further Wylk energy. Be mindful of these, as they can cause unexpected damage.

Guardian Arkveld also performs a chained Chainblade slam attack. Dodge sideways to evade this attack, creating an opportunity to counterattack as the monster becomes momentarily vulnerable.

Many of Arkveld's attacks are sweeping and wide-ranging. Instead of relying on dodges, prioritize creating distance and evading before the attack lands. Weapons with counters or blocks are advantageous if timed correctly.

When enraged, Guardian Arkveld infuses its Chainblades with Dragon element, causing explosive Dragon damage after certain attacks. This also triggers Dragon-element explosions from the Wylkrystals, making the Guardian Ebony armor set even more crucial.

Elemental Slinger ammo can be used to detonate Wylkrystals, damaging Arkveld if it's nearby and removing a potential hazard. The safest position is typically behind Guardian Arkveld, as most attacks originate from the front.
