Elder’s Lair trials are particular quests you can enter to challenge yourself against the best monsters MHS 2 has to offer. Durin g the Trials 1 to 3 you will be able to farm water type monsties like Plesioth (Water Wyvern). Use the opportunity in these areas to collect as many monster parts as you can, to be ready for the upcoming trials. Once you reach Trial 4, you will face an extraordinary Velkhana, which is nothing like the ones you came across before this point. Make sure to read Red’s notes in your key items to know how to counter this Ice Elder Dragon.

After this fight, you will face the Fire Flying Wyvern Gravios. To win this fight easily, make sure to pick Kyle. He wields a bow as his weapon and Tsukino is his Palico. Bring him along, while facing Gravios and you can easily beat the Elder Lair Trials 7 easily. There will be two more battles awaiting you in this trial, so make sure to pick your best monsties with kinship skills to face them especially the Angnator. Use a water-type weapon you farmed in Trail 1, to hit it, along with Kyle to easily beat the monster. There will be stronger monsters further ahead like Bazel. So make sure to have a slashing weapon to slowly chip away its HP bar.
