Section 1: Obtaining the Lock On Equipment Skill

Craft the Kulu Headpiece:

To obtain the Lock On Equipment Skill, you'll need to craft the Kulu Headpiece. This helm is made from materials dropped by the mischievous egg-stealing Bird Wyvern, Kulu-Ya-Ku. The Kulu Headpiece is a crucial piece of equipment that will enhance your hunting experience by allowing you to lock on to your targets.

Find Kulu-Ya-Ku:

To obtain the materials needed to craft the Kulu Headpiece, you'll need to locate and hunt down the Kulu-Ya-Ku. This creature can be found in various biomes such as the Forest, Desert, and Swamp. Keep in mind that these locations have constantly changing terrain, so be prepared to adapt to your surroundings.

Equip the Jagras Edge 2:

Before you embark on your quest to find and hunt the Kulu-Ya-Ku, it's essential to equip the Jagras Edge 2. This weapon will provide you with the necessary firepower to take down the Kulu-Ya-Ku and obtain the materials required for crafting the Kulu Headpiece.

Section 2: Locking On to Large Monsters

Enter Combat with Large Monsters:

Once you have equipped the Kulu Headpiece, it's time to put it to use. Enter combat with the Large Monster you want to lock on to. Engage in battle and prepare to take down your formidable opponent.

Tap the Lock On Icon:

Locate and tap the Lock On icon on your screen. This action will activate the Lock On Equipment Skill and reveal reticules on your opponent's body. These reticules will help you focus your attacks on specific areas of the Large Monster's body.

Select Your Attack Target:

With the reticules now visible, it's time to choose which part of the Large Monster's body you want to attack. Select one of the reticules to target a specific area. This allows you to concentrate your efforts and maximize your damage output.

Defeat Your Quarry:

With your target locked on, give it everything you've got! Utilize your skills, tactics, and weapons wisely to overcome your opponent. Use the Lock On Equipment Skill to your advantage and ensure that every strike counts. With perseverance and a bit of strategy, victory will be yours.

Section 3: Utilizing Lock On for Breaks and Rewards

Breaking Specific Parts:

The Lock On Equipment Skill is particularly useful when trying to break a specific part from a Large Monster's body. For example, breaking the Hind Leg of a Barroth will reward you with a bonus claw after the battle. By focusing your attacks on vulnerable areas, you increase your chances of obtaining valuable rewards.

Apply to Every Large Monster:

Remember, this tactic can be applied to every Large Monster you encounter. The Lock On Equipment Skill is not restricted to a specific creature or type of hunt. So make sure to target those vulnerable areas and reap the rewards! Whether you're facing a Rathalos, Diablos, or any other formidable beast, locking on to their weak points will greatly enhance your chances of success.
