Almudron is a 5-star Leviathan-class monstie in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection that specializes in water-element offense and persistent mud-trap pressure. Described in the game's Monsterpedia as a giant creature lurking in deep mountain marshlands, it stalks prey by slipping silently through pools of mud before striking. That stealthy, patient predator identity translates directly into its battle kit: delayed damage traps, water bursts, and self-buffing. If you want a monstie that controls the battlefield while dealing consistent elemental damage, Almudron earns a serious look.
How to Get Almudron in MHS3
Getting Almudron follows the same egg-hunting loop used for most large monsties in MHS3, but knowing the efficient method saves you a lot of time wandering dens.
Where to Find Almudron Eggs
Almudron inhabits marshland and wetland areas. Search monster dens located in its confirmed habitat zones, then raid those dens for eggs. Keep in mind that den egg pools are randomized by default, so you may not find an Almudron egg on your first visit.
info
Eggs inside a den are random unless you force the monster to retreat first. Use the retreat method below to guarantee species-specific spawns.
How to Force an Almudron Den Spawn
The most reliable way to secure an Almudron egg is to manipulate which monster occupies the den:
- Locate an Almudron in its habitat on the field.
- Engage it in battle and either achieve a high score during the fight or throw a paintball at it.
- Either action causes the monster to flee back to its den.
- Once it retreats, every egg inside that den will be of the Almudron species.
- Enter the den and collect your egg, then hatch it at the stable.
danger
You only need to trigger the retreat once per den visit. After the monster flees, the egg pool locks to that species until you leave the area.

What Are Almudron's Weaknesses?
Almudron is a Water-element monster, which shapes both how it fights and how you should fight it. Based on data from the Monster Hunter Wiki, its elemental weaknesses break down as follows:
Almudron Elemental Weakness
warning
Bringing Ice-element attacks against Almudron is actively counterproductive. Ice is doubly resisted, so avoid it entirely when fighting this monster.
Fire and Dragon are your best bets when targeting Almudron in battle. Dragon lands the highest effectiveness rating at two stars, making dragon-element weapons and monsties the top choice for dealing with it efficiently.
Almudron Status Weakness
Poison is the standout status option here, rated at two stars effective. If you want to layer damage on top of your elemental pressure, a Poison-inflicting monstie or skill pairs well with an Almudron fight.
What Weapon Type Works Best on Almudron's Body Parts?
For the Main Body, Cutting-type weapons are confirmed effective (rated with a star), while Blunt and Shot types show no effectiveness. Focus your cutting attacks on the main body to maximize part-break potential and damage output.

Almudron Transformations in Battle
Almudron has three distinct battle states that affect which body parts are targetable and how it behaves:
The Large Mudbulb state introduces a unique breakable part. Targeting the Mudbulb in this form may yield additional materials and disrupts Almudron's mud-based attacks.
