Do multiple monster investigations decrease total monster HP like they used to?

[Freaktacular]

Doing these "etc." hunts recently have been a huge waste of time for the rewards they give. But I remember this not being the case in base game, maybe it was even preferrable.

Does any modder know if HP decreases with each monster in the objective?

2 creatures decreases it, 3 + decreases it a bit more. This has always been a thing.

yep, per monster status tolerances and HP is decreased. HP more so than the status tolerances.

this is also influenced a small amount by quest time limit as well. so that 20 min 3 monster hunt could be easier than you'd expect if you know what your doing.

I don't use any mods so I can't answer anything specifically. Yes the multi monster hunt optionals and events did seem to greatly reduce every monters health in the hunt.

I have a feeling a multi monster objective might reduce their health but since Iceborne monsters are all at about four or five times the health of base game monsters, it might not be noticeable if they get some reductions. I doubt they are full health as that would cause failure on anything less than a perfect attempt.
