Monster Hunter Wilds: Strategies to Defeat Jin Dahaad Detailed

Guides outline weaknesses, survival tactics, and rewards for the icy Leviathan in both Chapter 3-2 and Chapter 5-1 encounters.

Jin Dahaad is a massive Leviathan encountered in the Iceshard Cliffs during Chapters 3-2 and 5-1 of Monster Hunter Wilds.
Key weaknesses include its head, neck, chest, and iceplates, with fire-element weapons and physical damage being most effective.
Surviving its one-hit kill attack requires using Giant Ice Chunks as shields in the third area of the fight.
Environmental hazards like crumbling ice walls and frozen pillars can be used to deal significant damage during the battle.
Breaking Jin Dahaad's iceplates and creating wounds can weaken its attacks, stun it, and increase access to high-value rewards.
