It's going to be a big weekend for Monster Hunter enthusiasts, as a brand new siege is now live in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The fearsome Safi'jiiva, which seems to be an adult version of the base game's Xeno'jiiva, is taking on all challengers, and you'll have to defeat it over the course of multiple skirmishes in order to finally bring it down. It promises to be one heck of a battle.
While you can technically take it on alone, it's recommended that you bring other players. Safi'jiiva has a mechanic -- much like the Final Fantasy Behemoth crossover hunt -- where it'll focus on whoever's doing the most damage to it. That player will then have to keep its attention while everyone else tries to bring it down.
If you want a quick guide on how best to approach this fight, Capcom's posted a brief video that outlines some strategies. You can watch that below.
The Safi'jiiva siege will be live until the 4th January 2020, so you've got a few weeks to get the job done. But don't worry too much if you can't find the time, as Capcom says that the quest will be returning periodically.
It's worth noting that if you do manage to seize victory, you'll be able to craft some amazing looking equipment, and loot some powerful, somewhat randomised weapons.

Oh, so the mechanics are a bit like the Behemoth fight. Looks like I gotta find some people who can main as a tank then.
Edit: I think it might be doable without a tanking weapon. You just have to dodge around it's attacks quite a bit. That's how I did it earlier when using the Hammer.
@WanderingBullet Yeah you'll definitely be able to do it without using a weapon that guards. Only potential issue is that it might be harder to keep up your damage since you're doing a lot of dodging.
@ShogunRok Yeah, plus in terms of gameplay I'm liking this one more than the Kulve Taroth siege.
@WanderingBullet Yeah it's way less tedious than Kulve. I like how this is much more of a straight up fight.
@ShogunRok "Yeah it's way less tedious than Kulve."
Exactly this! haha
It's fun, though I've only managed to do it once so far since I have work. If anyone needs a tank though that's my forte as a gunlance main!
Also, similarly to Behemoth, Safi'jiiva has a "true unblockable" attack that cannot be guarded even with full guard and Guard up. His pin goes through guard and leaves you with almost no hp.
Done it 5 times and its been brilliant, i've made a fantastic IG from it and the armour is sweet.
