How to Unlock Weapon Trees

Obtain the Weapon's Key Material

There are several unknown weapons at the beginning of Monster Hunter games, with Rise locking them behind question marks. To unlock them, you have to obtain key materials which are the core to creating and upgrading weapons. Key materials are generally monster parts, but some weapons require gathering items like the Speartuna or Pawprint Stamp.

Weapons List: All Weapon Trees

Hunt Monsters to Unlock Weapon Trees

Most weapons are unlocked by getting materials from the desired monster after hunting them. For example, hunting a Magnamalo for its materials unlocks Magnamalo weapons, and hunting its High Rank version unlocks the HIgh Rank upgrades. Some weapon upgrades may require materials from other monsters, so progressing through the game is needed.

Some weapons, such as the Death Stench and Aelucanth trees, have to be unlocked by getting the key items from the Meowcenaries or the Argosy. The Meowcenaries also have High Rank materials for their respective upgrades.

Progress Through the Game

Progressing through the game is necessary to unlock more of the weapon trees. You'll get to hunt new monsters and access new locales which will make more materials available for stronger weapon upgrades.

Reach the High Rank Endgame for the Final Rarity 7 Weapons

Reaching High Rank and Master Rank opens up materials for the final Rarity 7 weapons in Rise and Rarity 10 weapons in Sunbreak. These powerful weapons require defeating endgame monsters like Elder Dragons, but it's worth the effort. Note that not all weapon trees in High Rank have a Rarity 7 upgrade!

Not All Armor Sets Have Weapon Counterparts

MH Rise - Slagtoth Armor Has No Weapon Counterpart

Armor has similar unlocking conditions to weapons, but a number of them like the Slagtoth or Damascus sets have no weapon counterparts. Some armor sets also have different names such as Mizuha for Chameleos or Kaiser for Teostra.
