To navigate the late stages of Monster Hunter Wilds more easily, focus on collecting high-quality materials. Specifically, you’ll want to gather Frenzy Shards and Frenzy Crystals. These valuable resources can significantly enhance your gameplay by crafting robust armor and powerful weapons.
Finding these materials isn’t overly complicated once you know where to search, but it does require effort. Both Frenzy Shards and Crystals are categorized as High Rank items, which means you’ll need to hunt some of the game’s tougher monsters to obtain them.
Where to Find Frenzy Shards
To acquire Frenzy Shard, the simplest method is to hunt Frenzied Monsters. However, you must have completed the main story quests before these creatures will begin to appear. This generally means finishing High-Rank missions, which become available after Chapter 4, and clearing the Lurking in the Shadows quest, which introduces you to Frenzied Monsters and teaches you how to take them down.
Once you’ve finished the mentioned quest, the frequency of Frenzied Monsters will increase.
For your search for Frenzy Shards, head over to the Iceshard Cliffs, where you’ll have a better chance of encountering Frenzied Monsters that drop these shards.
Before you engage these beasts, it’s crucial to prepare adequately. The Frenzied creatures are notably tougher and deadlier than regular monsters.
The Frenzy virus affects both the monsters and the Hunters. Be sure to stock up on Nulberries to delay or prevent the affliction from taking you down.
During battles, focus on wounding the Frenzied Monsters, as this can increase your chances of obtaining Frenzy Shards.
If you’re struggling to find Frenzied Monsters, consider taking the Aberrant Atrocity optional quest from Alma at the base camp. The goal is to defeat a Frenzied Monster.
Where to Find Frenzy Crystals
On the other hand, obtaining a Frenzy Crystal is a bit more methodical. You can only find these when you battle Gore Magala specifically in the Iceshard Cliffs during the main story quest titled Shrouded in Black. This occurs in the second part of Chapter 5.
Defeating Gore Magala will unlock the optional quest Misty Depths, allowing you to farm for Frenzy Crystals. Simply return to Alma and reattempt the battle.
To extract the crystals effectively, you’ll need to follow the same strategy as before: engage the Elder Dragon and focus on any wounds that are exposed.
While fighting Gore Magala, you can also collect Frenzy Shards in addition to the crystals. This way, you can optimize your efforts by facing only the dragon rather than having to deal with other Frenzied Monsters.
What Frenzy Shards and Frenzy Crystals Can Craft
Once you gather enough Frenzy Shards, you’ll be able to craft high-tier armor sets, such as:
- Artian Alpha Set
- Damacsuc Alpha Set
- Gore Beta Set
- Gore Alpha Set
In addition to armor, you can also use these materials to create powerful weapons.
Crafting items with Frenzy Shards typically results in Rarity Level 7 gear. To access even better items rated at Rarity Level 8, be sure to incorporate Frenzy Crystals once you’ve crafted the lower tier.
