Guide to Tempered Monsters and Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the most challenging foes you will encounter are the Tempered Monsters. These powerful creatures are experienced survivors of many battles, and they become your biggest challenge as you reach the endgame of the campaign. Defeating these monsters rewards you with high-quality materials, which are essential for crafting advanced gear known as Artian Weapons. This guide will help you learn how to find and defeat these tough monsters, along with crafting the best equipment in the game.

What are Artian Weapons and Tempered Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Tempered Monsters and Artian Weapons become available to players after they complete Chapter 4-3: Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns. Here’s a brief overview of what you need to know:

• Chapter 3-5 wraps up the primary story of the game.
• After finishing the story, quests become more flexible. Your goal is to take out various targets and complete quests to raise your Hunter Rank.
• Once you hit Hunter Rank 20, you’ll receive the mission for Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns, returning you to the Ruins of Wyveria.
• This mission leads to a fight against a Lala Barina and a Guardian Fulgur Anjanath, the first Tempered Monster you will encounter.

How to Find Tempered Monsters

Tempered Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds provide some of the hardest challenges in the game. They are stronger compared to regular monsters, featuring visible scars that highlight their resilience in battle. Don’t underestimate them!

To find a Tempered Monster, open the world map biomes. You can see which monsters are active in each location. Look for a distinctive blue glow or waypoint that indicates the presence of these Tempered Monsters, unlike the green markers for regular creatures and items.

Tempered Monster Loot

It is crucial to defeat Tempered Monsters when you encounter them because they drop valuable loot. Not only will you receive the usual materials associated with their species, but you will also collect special endgame materials needed to craft Artian Weapons, which are the highest rank gear in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Once you have gathered enough materials from your monster hunts, visit Gemma back at your base to select the Forge Artian Weapons option. Here’s what to keep in mind regarding Artian Weapons:

How to Craft Artian Weapons

Crafting Artian Weapons is different from creating Low Rank or High Rank gear. For Artian Weapons, you need to choose three parts to form a combination. Here are a few key points:

• You can only pick parts of the same rarity (rank 6, 7, or 8).
• Parts come with elemental properties or status effects.
• If you combine two or more parts sharing the same property, the weapon will have that effect. If the materials are different, the outcome will be a non-elemental weapon.
• Example: Combining 2x Thunder and 1x Sleep results in a Thunder-element weapon. Combining 1x Thunder, 1x Sleep, and 1x Dragon yields a non-elemental weapon.

Different weapon types require specific part combinations:

• Great Sword – 2x blade and 1x tube
• Long Sword – 1x blade and 2x tube
• Sword & Shield – 1x blade, 1x tube, and 1x disc
• Dual Blades – 2x blade and 1x disc
• Hammer – 2x disc and 1x tube
• Hunting Horn – 1x disc and 2x device
• Lance – 1x blade and 2x disc
• Gunlance – 2x disc and 1x device
• Switch Axe – 2x blade and 1x device
• Charge Blade – 1x blade, 1x disc, and 1x device
• Insect Glaive – 1x blade, 1x tube, and 1x device
• Light Bowgun – 1x tube and 2x device
• Heavy Bowgun – 1x disc, 1x tube, and 1x device
• Bow – 2x tube and 1x device

This guide should help you understand how to deal with Tempered Monsters and craft Artian Weapons. As you develop your skills and gather materials, you can take on even tougher foes and increase your Hunter Rank.

Keep an eye out for rare and powerful Tempered Monsters as you progress through the game. With determination, you’ll be able to create rank 7 and 8 gear pieces in no time!
