Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues as you dive into the High Rank content. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to get and utilize Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are valuable resources that you can acquire by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, become available during High Rank missions. Don't let their familiar appearance fool you; Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, posing a formidable challenge. Upon successfully defeating or capturing one, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, essential for crafting new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another crucial crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. By wounding and destroying specific parts of Gore Magala, you have a chance to collect these crystals. You'll encounter Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest "Misty Depths."
