The first major Monster Hunter Wilds update has arrived, introducing an array of exciting features including new weapons, armor sets, and the coveted arrival of MH Generations’ Mizutsune.
Are you eager to unlock both the standard and tempered versions of this majestic monster? Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to find and conquer Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Unlocking the Mizutsune Hunt in Monster Hunter Wilds
To unlock Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds, complete the Spirit in the Moonlight mission. This mission becomes accessible once you achieve Hunter Rank 21. To initiate it, speak with Kanya at the Scarlet Forest Base Camp after finishing the Fishing Life quest in Microcosm.
Finding and Unlocking the Tempered Mizutsune
Once you have completed Spirit in the Moonlight, you can unlock the Tempered Mizutsune hunt by reaching Hunter Rank 41. To find this version of Mizutsune, I discovered it exclusively in the Ruins of Wyveria.
How to Defeat Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds
When engaging Mizutsune in MH Wilds, spatial awareness is crucial. This highly aggressive creature unleashes a barrage of tail spins, lunges, and jet streams while continuously emitting harmful bubbles that inflict both Waterblight and Bubbleblight. You can counter Waterblight by rolling or using a Nulberry, while Bubbleblight requires a Cleanser. When in an enraged state, Mizutsune can also inflict Fireblight, causing gradual HP depletion until remedied.
Don’t worry if all this seems daunting. Mizutsune has weaknesses to Ice, Dragon, and Electric attacks. Focus your strikes on its head using Cut and Blunt weapons for maximum effectiveness.
Adopt an aggressive stance, as many of Mizutsune’s significant attacks can be anticipated, even at close range. Respect the damaging bubbles and jets; a Tempered Mizutsune can easily eliminate even the best-prepared hunters with its heavy damage output. To bolster your defenses, consider equipping water-resistant armor sets for extra protection.
Complete Mizutsune Armor Recipes
True hunters can craft both Alpha and Beta versions of the Mizutsune armor set in Monster Hunter Wilds. The High Rank sets unlock after your first battle with Mizutsune, and you can craft each piece using the materials listed below:
