Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues as you delve into the High Rank content. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are crucial materials that you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. Don't let their appearance fool you; Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal higher damage, posing a formidable challenge. Upon defeating or capturing these creatures, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, which you can then use to forge new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals are another vital crafting material, but these are exclusive to Gore Magala. To obtain Frenzy Crystals, you must wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds during combat. This gives you a chance to collect these valuable crystals. You can start hunting Gore Magala once you reach High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
