What are Aknosom weaknesses, resistances, & drops | Monster Hunter Rise

Aknosom is one of the Bird Wyverns in Monster Hunter Rise and this large monster uses its aerial prowess to overcome inexperienced hunters. Make sure you know how to handle this airborne terror on your hunts by avoiding its resistances and capitalizing on its weaknesses so you can nab that sweet loot.

When fighting this beast, it's good to know what it's weak against or where to inflict that good old damage to slaughter the foe quickly. So here's Aknosom's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.

All Aknosom Weaknesses

Aknosom Elemental Weakness

The main weakness of this feathery friend is water, but if you have thunder or ice will still be more effective than using no element at all. But do not use fire or dragon, as the Aknosom is immune to these elements. Here are the locations where you should attack Aknosom for extra elemental damage.

You should focus if using an elemental weapon on its legs, tail, and wings.

Aknosom Location Weakness

If you are not wielding an elemental weapon, you want to attack certain places where you deal extra damage. These places on a monster differentiate depending on the weapon type you use—Cutting, Impact, or Shot.

• If using a cutting weapon focus on the chest and the wings.
• If using a blunt weapon focus on the head/beak and the chest.
• If using a bow weapon focus on shooting the head and the wings.

Aknosom Resistances and Ailments

This Bird Wyvern is resistant to almost every type of ailment you can inflict on a monster, except two—Blast and Waterblight. Luckily, Aknosom is weak to water, so if you use fast attacking weapons, inflicting Waterblight onto this monster will be effective.

Aknosom Drop Rates - Carves, Capturing & Breaking

Depending on your quest, you can get different rewards to forge armor and weapons, but each one has a drop rate percentage that is ultimately RNG. It is pure luck what you receive.

• There are multiple ways of gaining items
  • You can carving three times once the monster is dead.
  • You can capture the monster instead of killing it.
    • Or carving the broken appendage of said monster.
  • From looting the drops from the monster
  • After successfully compleing your quest

Most monsters have breakable parts, and Aknosom is no different. You can break four parts of this monster—Beak, Crest, Wing, and Tail. If you break these during the hunt, you will earn extra rewards after completing the quest.

The tables below are the percentage and drop rates of each material from Aknosom, Low and High rank.
