The wild Deviljho of the Canalta Timberland is a difficult and tough challenge to undertake, but the payoffs are more rewarding than any other challenge within the region.

It is possible to control this fight at level 25-30 with an ideal counter setup, but it will be much easier with level 35-40. There is a single Deviljho which remains at a single location in the timberland. He is extremely weak to Dragon and Thunder.

Taking Down the Beast

A mighty Thunder based monstie should be used in order to defeat this monster. Although there are many Thunder-based Monsties in the game, it is recommended that you use a Bolt Reaver Astalos or an ordinary Astalos to take down Deviljho with relative ease.

As this is a hard battle you must begin with a sneak attack by hitting him on your way up. This causes a slice of free damage according to his overall health.

It is a clever idea to bring Ogden to the battle since he traps the enemy to cancel attacks and offers support through Hunting Horn tunes in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

Also you should have a monster with the ability of applying Noxious Poison or Severe Poison, which you can acquire through a Dreadqueen Rathian gene.

His strong attacks can be prevented by other status effects such as Darkness, Paralysis, or Sleep. Reserve your Kinship for the occasions when you have to endure big area-of-effect attacks.

When you are in the fight, make sure to remember a very important strategy, where, after the Monster has been toppled, you must skip Synchro Rush

During a knockdown, a normal attack gives automatic critical hits and Wyvernfell damage, which the Synchro Rush does not do while it is building Kinship.

In case you want to have a Deviljho of your very own, a Paintball is highly recommended when he is nearly beaten in order to have a higher chance of him retreating to a den where you can snatch his eggs.

Deviljho Weaponry

The weapons that Deviljho rewards you with are unbelievable as they have about 40 percent better attack stats than anything you can make in this second region. Deviljho versions of almost all types of weapons exist except the Hunting Horn.

These are weapons with good skills, and it is the pure raw power that drives the need to make them. Coupled with the equipment of Calamity Elder Dragons, the weapons will provide you with enough power to push through the following section of the game.

Deviljho Armor

The Deviljho Armor set gives tremendous defense and some of the best survival abilities to fight monsters which are stronger than you are in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

It possesses Tenacity L that functions as a second heart because it does not allow you to be beaten in a single hit. It is also equipped with Vicious, which boosts the damage that you cause in Head-to-Heads.

There is also the armor that has Vigilance which increases your damage when you are low in health.

This is effective with Vicious in that you will not die during a Head-to-Head provided you win even with only one health left. Although playing when health is low is very risky, the payoff of the damage is high.
