The thrill of the chase coursed through my veins as I approached my next target in Monster Hunter Wilds. The Shatterseal Great Sword stood before me like a prize waiting to be claimed, its gleaming sharpness promising untold power. But the path to this legendary weapon is a test of skill and determination that few dare to undertake.
Ever since Wilds burst onto the scene, I’ve had a soft spot for the Great Sword. Now, with the introduction of the Shatterseal in February 2026, my excitement has reached a fever pitch. But before you can wield this masterpiece, you must endure a demanding journey to forge it.
Understanding the Crafting Challenge for the Shatterseal Great Sword
Here’s the double-edged situation: while crafting the Shatterseal Great Sword requires a Master Craftsman’s Blueprint, the process of acquiring that blueprint will test even the most seasoned hunter. If you’re new to the game, it may be wiser to stick with simpler gear for now.
To snag that elusive Master Craftsman’s Blueprint, you must complete the new quest titled Every Hunter’s Dream. While it may not be as punishing as other event quests like Proof of a Hero, the challenge remains substantial. You’ll face off against four Tempered Quematrice and a single Tempered Mizutsune in an intense 8-star battle. Prepare to head to Wounded Hollow when you start this quest.
Completing the task within 50 minutes allows for up to three faints; with experience, this quest shouldn’t pose much of a threat. However, don’t think this will be a one-and-done scenario. To forge both the Shatterseal and its upgraded form, the Shatterseal Drakesnest, you’ll need to run this event three times, earning a total of three blueprints.
Gathering the Shatterseal Drakesnest is essential if you intend to wield the Shatterseal Great Sword as a Layered Weapon, adding another layer of complexity to your pursuit.
Here’s what you need to build your arsenal:
Shatterseal
- Two Master Craftsman’s Blueprints
- 12 Quematrice Scale+
- Four Bubblefoam
- Two Wyvern Gem
Shatterseal Drakesnest
- Five Hunter Symbol III
- One Master Craftsman’s Blueprint
- Eight Quematrice Igniter+
- One Mizutsune Water Orb
