To unlock the Plunderblade in Monster Hunter: World, reach the lower Rotten Vale, bring Raw Meat, and complete the Plunderers’ meat-lure encounter. The route described in published guides involves speaking with the Lynian Researcher, waiting for an Odogaron-related event, following a Grimalkyne, and leaving the meat where the Plunderers can find it. Once they emerge, approach them to receive the gadget.
What you need before you start
- Story progress that gives you access to the lower Rotten Vale.
- Raw Meat to use as bait.
- Access to the Lynian Researcher in the Vale, whose lead points you toward the Plunderers.
The Plunderblade is a Palico gadget—not a weapon for your hunter to equip. The reported unlock route is described in guides published in 2018, so this walkthrough applies to Monster Hunter: World and should not be assumed to describe other games in the series.

Watch for the Odogaron-related event
The guides describe an Odogaron scene that comes before the Grimalkyne appears. Its timing can vary. If the event does not occur, leave the area and return to check again rather than waiting indefinitely in one spot.
-
Follow the Grimalkyne and set out Raw Meat
When a Grimalkyne appears, follow it to its hiding place. Put Raw Meat on the ground, then move away so the Plunderers can come out and eat.

How to equip the Plunderblade
After unlocking it, change your Palico’s active gadget through the Palico equipment controls in your room or at a campsite tent. Select the Plunderblade there; your hunter does not equip it as a weapon.

What the Plunderblade does
The gadget lets your Palico steal monster-related items while attacking during hunts. Published guides say gadget proficiency affects the amount or range of items the Palico can obtain. Treat it as a source of extra materials, not a guaranteed way to get a particular rare drop: the guides do not establish a specific item guarantee, drop rate, or yield for a hunt.
PowerPyx describes gadget proficiency as increasing when the Palico takes an equipped gadget on quests, with active use improving as proficiency rises. Its general explanation does not establish precise Plunderblade-specific thresholds, so there is no reliable threshold table to give here.

When to take it on a hunt
Choose the Plunderblade when you want your Palico to seek extra monster items. If you would rather prioritize healing, defense, or another kind of support, equip a different gadget instead. The guides do not provide comparative performance data that would support ranking the options.
