Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with High Rank content, including the exciting challenge of acquiring and utilizing Frenzy Shards and Crystals. Here's your guide to mastering these essential materials.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
To obtain Frenzy Shards, you'll need to take on Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These creatures, infected with the Frenzy Virus, begin appearing in High Rank missions. While they may resemble their regular counterparts, they're far more dangerous, dealing increased damage and exhibiting heightened aggression. Successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster rewards you with Frenzy Shards, crucial for crafting new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another key crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. By wounding Gore Magala and breaking those wounds, you increase your chances of obtaining a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest "Misty Depths."
