The Coral Highlands (Japanese 陸珊瑚の台地) is a location first introduced in Monster Hunter: World. It consists of a vast landscape like that of the ocean floor, the most notorious feature is the many species of coral, as its name implies. This area is comprised of steep cliffs that form a highland, hunters will traverse the colorful highlands and ominous lower levels to achieve their objectives.

Environments[]

The coral highlands can be divided into the lower section, featuring dark paths among gigantic cliffs, and the highlands, featuring more open areas atop the cliffs.

Lower Section[]

This section is comprised of many branching paths mostly comprised of sand supported by coral. Shamos and Tzitzi-Ya-Ku roam here, keeping themselves to the shadows of the cliffs, commonly clashing for prey such as Kelbi and -presumably- Wigglers. Odogaron sometimes pass through here when carrion is not enough, intending to reach the highlands for more substantial prey.

Highlands[]

Featuring open areas comprised of sand and a few coral platforms, the highlands are the perfect place for monsters such as Paolumu, Legiana and Pink Rathian. It is here that Odogaron can rarely be found clashing with other large monsters, with groups of Raphinos also calling this section their home, with the rare Kirin appearing here on occasion.

Notes[]

  • The apex monster of the Coral Highlands is Legiana.[1] [2]
  • Hunters can use the Glider Mantle to ride air currents and reach higher areas.[3]
  • The white 'flakes' floating in the air are coral eggs. Some species, like Wingdrakes, are known to gather in the Coral Highlands to feed on the coral eggs, as seen with the Raphinos.[3]
  • Below the Coral Highlands lies the Rotten Vale, with the coral pillars below the highlands being tinted green by the Effluvium flowing upwards.[4]
  • When Kirin appears in the Coral Highlands, a thunderstorm will appear in the sky.
