The latest guide for Monster Hunter Wilds details the game’s most challenging foes, the Tempered Monsters, and the crafting of high-end gear known as Artian Weapons. These formidable enemies appear during the endgame, providing players with the best rewards.
Understanding Tempered Monsters
Tempered Monsters become accessible after completing Chapter 4-3: Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns. They are battle-hardened creatures, marked by scars from previous fights, and present a significant challenge compared to regular monsters. Players can identify them on the world map, as they are indicated by a blue glow, unlike the green trails for other creatures.
Rewards for Defeating Tempered Monsters
Eliminating these monsters yields valuable loot and essential materials for crafting Artian Weapons. These weapons represent the highest tier in the game, specifically ranks 6, 7, and 8. To craft Artian Weapons, players must gather enough materials and visit Gemma at their base.
Crafting Artian Weapons
The crafting process differs significantly from other weapon tiers. Players must select three parts of the same rarity to create a viable weapon. Each part can possess elemental properties or status ailments, affecting the weapon’s final attributes. Here’s a brief overview:
- Choose parts of the same rarity (rank 6, 7, or 8).
- Combine parts with similar elemental properties to gain that effect.
- Different properties result in a non-elemental weapon.
Different weapon categories have specific part requirements:
- Great Sword: 2 blades and 1 tube
- Long Sword: 1 blade and 2 tubes
- Sword & Shield: 1 blade, 1 tube, and 1 disc
- Dual Blades: 2 blades and 1 disc
- Hammer: 2 discs and 1 tube
- Hunting Horn: 1 disc and 2 devices
- Lance: 1 blade and 2 discs
- Gunlance: 2 discs and 1 device
- Switch Axe: 2 blades and 1 device
- Charge Blade: 1 blade, 1 disc, and 1 device
- Insect Glaive: 1 blade, 1 tube, and 1 device
- Light Bowgun: 1 tube and 2 devices
- Heavy Bowgun: 1 disc, 1 tube, and 1 device
- Bow: 2 tubes and 1 device
Once players craft a few Artian Weapons, they can continue hunting tougher monsters to increase their Hunter Rank. This progression leads to encounters with rarer Tempered Monsters and the opportunity to create even more powerful gear.
