The Secluded Valley is an area first introduced in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
Levels
The location consists of three areas where you fight Safi'jiiva.
First Level
- There's a decaying ground on the first level of the area covered. When Safi'jiiva is flinched at around that area, it will get stuck and open for attack.
- There are also two boulders that can be dropped on Safi'jiiva with slinger pods, given that you are able to push him close to them.
Second Level
- There are multiple protruding rocks on the second level of the area. Using those will allow hunters to avoid getting hit by Safi'jiiva's devastating special breath attack.
Third Level
- There are also multiple protruding rocks on the third level. However, some of these will break with every Safi'jiiva's ultimate.
- Eventually, it is possible to run out of rocks to use as cover as all of them would have been broken. If this happens, Safi'jiiva will do his ultimate attack twice back-to-back, resulting in a definite quest fail (Only happens on the 2nd run of the quest).
- There are several gas patches scattered around the area that can explode if Safi'jiiva steps on them. These will spawn as soon as Safi'jiiva does his ultimate, and will continuously regenerate with every ultimate.
- Multiple rock debris will fall onto hunters if Safi'jiiva fires his laser at the ceiling. The place these rocks will land is indicated by an orange glow on the floor.
It can be assumed Alatreon will also use these areas during the fight.
Notes
- Xeno'jiiva sheds its skins countless times in this valley, and these shedded shrouds and skins litter around the valley. Some that are littered in high altitude is blown by the wind, creating quite a scene.
