Ukanlos

General Notes

• Ukanlos's jaw, chest, front legs and back can be broken. Its tail can also be severed and carved twice.
• Many of its attacks are also used by Akantor.
• Melee fighters should not notice any real difference between fighting Akantor and Ukanlos, besides learning how to avoid its Swim attack and the falling chunks of ice caused by some attacks. Unlike Akantor, Ukanlos' "Standing Roar" does not causes the geysers to bursts from the ground around Ukanlos.
• The Ice Beam and shovel attacks are of no concern to melee fighters who are attacking the inside of its right leg.
• Ukanlos's Ice Crash (falling chunks of ice) attack somewhat homes to the nearest target before crashing onto them.
• Its tail swing (the snow dusts) has an additional effect of giving the 'Snowman Status'.
• Ukanlos' roar requires HG Earplugs to block and causes damage to hunters.
• All Ukanlos weapons have extremely high raw damage, but have -30% to -40% affinity which is opposite from its Akantor counterparts, and very poor Sharpness.
• Throwing a Sonic Bomb before its Ice Beam protrudes from its mouth will make it drop a shiny. It will also stagger. Doing this does not put the Ukanlos into Rage Mode.
• Although Ukanlos is not in Monster Hunter 4, you can trade for its materials at the Wyporium. This was kept in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, despite Ukanlos appearing in person.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

• Ukanlos has the highest Reward payment; 60,000z.
• After defeating Ukanlos, hunters are awarded the 'Ukanlos Bead' for their Guild Card.
• Defeating Ukanlos allows the creation of 'G Weapons'. These are improved versions of Low or High Rank weapons.
  • Defeating the Ukanlos will also allow the player to upgrade their Low and High Rank armor further to G-rank defense levels.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

• Ukanlos does not get a pin attack.
• It will be fought in a new area that resembles a frozen cave, called the Polar Field.
• It has a new ice beam move, similar to Plesioth's Horizontal Water Blast. After the initial beam, a small twister is created and chunks of ice will be splashed out.
• When it roars, chunks of ice fall from the ceiling.
• It also gains a new attack where it launches three chunks of ice skyward while turning its body sharply to the right.
• If the Ukanlos does not do its swimming attack, a puff of snow will indicate where it will resurface.
• Ukanlos's quest will not appear unless all High-rank single hunt quests are completed.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

• Ukanlos is the urgent quest required to unlock G-rank.
• It is noticeably smaller than it was before.
• Its underground swim attack is slower than was in older games.
  • When in rage mode, it throws ice chunks at its left and right during the underground swim attack.

Monster Hunter Generations

• Ukanlos can be unlocked by reaching Hunter Rank 60.
