Niantic has unveiled new information about the upcoming Monster Hunter Now event, Sea of Monsters, part of the Summer Hunt 2025. For the first time in the game, you'll be able to confront the formidable Elder Dragon, Namielle.
Namielle Is a Truly Unique Creature
This dragon cloaks itself in water and conducts electricity through it, unleashing powerful explosions that can overwhelm unprepared hunters. It even possesses an internal organ that generates its own electricity. To successfully battle Namielle, you must target its weaknesses: fire, poison, and blast damage.
If you're ready for the fight, you can participate in Elder Dragon Interceptions and Hunt-a-thons featuring Namielle from July 26th to 27th. Purchasing an event ticket unlocks additional benefits, such as removing the cooldown period after joining these special hunts and granting access to Interceptions focused solely on Namielle.
This allows you to challenge the new monster repeatedly without any waiting. Ticket holders will also receive layered equipment inspired by Namielle's design.
Before Namielle appears, the Monster Hunter Now Summer Hunt 2025: Seaside Vacation event begins on July 21st. During this event, you can craft exclusive weapons and armor with enhanced stats and bonus skills.
Weapons Are the Centerpiece of the Monster Hunter Now Sea of Monsters Event
Using materials from Namielle, you can forge weapons imbued with the water element. Your choices include the Sword & Shield, Long Sword, Hunting Horn, Lance, Gunlance, Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, and Bow.
The armor set crafted from these materials is known as the Tentacle Set. It includes the Namielle Electrowave skill, which lessens damage taken from thunder element monsters and increases your weapon's water element value.
