The main goal of Monster Hunter Now is to defeat the Large Monsters that roam the lands while also becoming stronger with upgraded armor and weapons crafted using the materials from defeated creatures. This is the grind of Monster Hunter, and even though Now is a mobile/beginner-friendly iteration, the traditional routines are still present.

If players are having trouble figuring out the weaknesses of Monsters or finding out what they drop at what tiers, this guide will certainly be helpful. In the table below, Monster Hunter Now fans will find a list of every monster in the game found so far, as well as their type, weakness, and dropped materials.

Updated by Dave Irwin on September 16, 2024: The guide has been updated to add info for all the monsters introduced since the article was originally written in September 2023, as well as including up-to-date info for existing monsters of higher ranks.
