The Ghillie Mantle, for example, will temporarily camouflage you from monsters. Specialized tools must be equipped and then used as items in order to have any effect. They can be used an unlimited number of times, but have a cooldown time after each use. You can check the effects of any specialized tools you have equipped from "Equipment Info" in the menu.

    • Rocksteady Mante also does not ignore damage reaction when the hunter is under the effect of Sleep status.
