 How to Unlock All Master Rank Weapons |
List of Contents
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
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.
| Key Items | Weapons Unlocked |
|---|---|
| Meowcenaries Materials | |
| Chaos Trees Bow Great Sword Hunting Horn Lance |
|
| Edel Tree Bow |
|
| Death Stench Trees Long Sword Insect Glaive Hammer Switch Axe |
|
| Mosgharl Trees Heavy Bowgun Hammer |
|
| Jelly Trees Heavy Bowgun Dual Blades |
|
| Argosy Materials | |
| Shell-Studded Trees Great Sword Sword & Shield Gunlance Switch Axe |
|
| Magia Trees Hunting Horn Insect Glaive |
|
| Spio Trees Lance Hunting Horn Bow |
|
| Melahoa Tree Lance |
|
| Vaik Tree Charge Blade |
|
| Makluva Tree Light Bowgun |
|
| Aelucanth Trees Dual Blades Charge Blade |
|
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.
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.
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!
Story Walkthrough and Progression Guide
Most Smithy and Guild trees can be unlocked by completing certain requests. These requests reward designs that allow you to forge these special weapons at the smithy!
Requests Guide and List of Requests
| Weapon Design | Quest |
|---|---|
| Comeuppance | |
| USJ - Shrine Showdown! |
A couple of quests either reward a weapon or unlock their designs. Defeating Magnamalo in the Village Urgent Quest rewards the Hand-Me-Down Sword I. The other quest is an event quest that drops the Azure Era Gem, unlocking the weapon designs for a special Long Sword and Bow.
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.
