All new monsters in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Capcom is bringing two known dragons to Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak with the update—Amatsu and the Risen Shagaru Magala—and two other Risen Elder Dragons are arriving through Anomaly Research Quests.

Amatsu

This is a returning Elder Dragon from Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. Amatsu is also known as the Looming Calamity and can control the weather, summoning storms to attack its enemies.

Players can unlock Amatsu when reaching MR 10.

Risen Shagaru Magala

Risen Shagaru Magala, on the other hand, is a monster only stronger hunters can face. This Elder Dragon has overcome Qurio, entering a Risen state. Its Frenzy virus is now much more powerful and its radius has increased.

Only players who have reached MR 180 can challenge Risen Shagaru Magala.

Anomaly Investigation in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Anomaly Research Quests

The Anomaly Investigation level cap has been raised to 300 and there are more afflicted materials to get. With the new cap, players will also be able to complete new challenges in order to reach the new max level.

Special Investigations

Those who reach the max level of 300 will receive Special Investigations that can be completed only once. These will be the most challenging quests of the game since they are reserved for the ones who managed to get so near to the endgame.

The rewards for Special Investigations won’t give players “any new quests or luxurious rewards,” according to Capcom, but you can earn a Badge of Heroes after you complete a number of Special Investigations.

Qurious Melding

The new melding method added with the update has two branches and will expand the skill customization feature.

New talismans can be created by using afflicted materials with The Qurious Melding – Vigor method. The Qurious Melding – Cyclus will use talismans created with the previous method, similar to Reincarnation and Rebirth melding.
