Jhen Mohran

Jhen Mohran Discussion

Jhen Mohran is a huge monster found exclusively online in Monster Hunter 3. It lives only in the Great Desert.

The first time the players can encounter this monster is in a HR30 Urgent Quest called "The Festival Of Fear". It is also available in an event quest.

The people of Loc Lac have a festival when it comes. The Guild master hires hunters to kill it so they can mine unique ore found exclusively on its body.



Battle
The initial battle is fought from a moving sand ship with the Jhen Mohran swimming beside it. Players can damage it by using the ship's weaponry, or by attacking it with their own weapons. Ship weapons include the Ballista S (which deals 30 damage for each spear, for a total of 60), Cannon S (which does 120 damage), Dragonator (which does 255 damage for each "segment" that penetrates Jhen's body, for a possible total of 1020 damage), Ballista Binder and the Giant Gong. The Ballista Binder, Dragonator, and Giant Gong can be reused after a certain time frame. The Ballista Binder takes around 2.5 minutes until it's reusable, and the Giant Gong around 4.30 minutes, while the Dragonator can only be once after a certain point in part one and two. There are infinite reserves of Cannon S and Ballista S. It is also possible to jump onto its back to mine for scales and ores, or to attack its 2 weakpoints. Jhen Mohran's spinal ridge contains several cracks/cavities. Enough damage done to these weakpoints will break a hole through them. Anti-Dragon Bombs from the supply box deal fixed 400 damage to any body part, can be boosted by the Bombardier skill, and thus are ideal for breaking Jhen's tusks. Anti-Dragon Bombs will detonate automatically. Both tusks can be broken.

The battle will then switch to a land based scenario as Jhen Mohran walks towards the ship. At this point, players can attack its arms to break its shell for extra rewards, or continue to fire ballistas from a long range. As it heads towards the ship, it will occasionally hurl rocks at the Ballista or cannon stations. Once it is close enough, Jhen Mohran will use its side sweep or perform a body slam onto the ship. Using the Gong before it does this body slam will cause Jhen Mohran to fall to its underside for a lengthy time. Also by doing enough damage, instead of him falling on his side, he will fall upside down. This will enable players to either get 2 carves or deal some extra damage in his mouth. During the land battle, the Dragonator is relocated to the side of the ship.

Jhen Mohran can either be repelled or killed. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PFKciOqyM8

Jhen Mohran is often seen with Delex; the two species share a commensalistic relationship in which, everytime Jhen Mohran feeds, the Delex swim in and eat the left overs.
