Get Started

Jin Dahaad MH Wilds isn’t just roaming around like some casual beast. It only spawns at the pinnacle of Iceshard Cliffs, and even then, not until Chapter 5-1: Storm Cold Vortex in High Rank. Your first run-in comes earlier during Chapter 3-2: Nothing Frozen, Nothing Gained, but you won’t get to hunt it properly until later. To check if it’s up:

• Open your world map.
• Hover over the Iceshard Cliffs.
• Look for a spawn notification, especially during Frostwinds weather (though it can spawn anytime). Once it appears:
• Rest at the Iceshard Cliffs Base Camp.
• Start the quest from the Environment Overview.
• Teleport to the Makeshift Camp right outside the boss arena. Welcome to the frozen fight club.

Jin Dahaad Weaknesses & Weak Spots

Let’s get one thing straight — ice doesn’t hurt Jin Dahaad. Like, at all. Fire damage to the head is your best bet. Otherwise, all weapon types work okay, especially with good positioning.

Key Jin Dahaad Weakness Tips:

• Fire damage to the head = prime damage.
• Blastblight and Exhaust status effects are clutch.
• Shock Traps can root it briefly.
• Flash Pods will interrupt most attacks (except the charged ice nuke).

Breakable Parts:

Pro Tip: Attack legs first to topple it. Then break Iceplates to actually deal damage to the monster’s body. Unbroken plates = your attacks will bounce off like paper airplanes.

Jin Dahaad’s Most Brutal Attacks

1. Arena-Wide Ice Explosion

This is the big one. Jin Dahaad curls up, forms a shell, and goes full nuke. You will die if you’re out in the open. What to do:

• Mount your Seikret.
• Find the small ice block that spawns.
• Hide behind it until the shockwave passes. You’ve got about two extra seconds after it finishes charging — don’t panic roll into your doom.

2. Ice Breath

It doesn’t matter where you are — Jin Dahaad can blast you with an icy beam from nearly any position. How to avoid:

• By the tail? Run to its front.
• On its side? Dodge roll to the opposite side.
• Underneath? Sprint out toward the rear or side.
• In front of it? Roll underneath and behind it.

3. Stomps and Icy Slams

If you’re under it, be prepared for leg stomps that explode with ice damage. Dodge to the opposite leg as soon as it lifts one.

4. Ice Pillar Blasts

When Jin Dahaad climbs onto big terrain, it fires down horizontal ice breath attacks. What to do:

• Ride your Seikret and dodge.
• Wait until it finishes its third blast, then pull the Giant Frozen Pillar to knock it off.

Combat Tips for Jin Dahaad

• Team up. This fight is way easier with backup.
• Go for the legs first, then the tail and Iceplates.
• Nullberries are your best friend if you get frozen.
• Shock Traps and Flash Pods are actually useful here — don’t waste them.
• Keep cool. You have a little buffer before that massive explosion hits — no need to panic roll off a cliff.

Jin Dahaad Rewards

You don’t fight a monster like this for nothing. Jin Dahaad drops some slick loot — but don’t expect a guaranteed haul on your first hunt.

And hey, rack up kills to earn some cool titles:

• 10x: Jin Dahaad
• 15x: Chill
• 20x: Hoarfrost
• 30x: Ice-bound

Flex those titles like a true frost-slayer.
