Unlocking Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds is a thrilling milestone for any hunter ready to face this elegant leviathan. To begin your hunt, you must reach Hunter Rank 21, complete the main story campaign, and then seek out Kanya, the fisherwoman, at the Scarlet Forest base camp to trigger the special Extra Mission “Spirit in the Moonlight.” Defeat Mizutsune in this quest, and you’ll unlock it for regular hunting, with the chance to face even tougher Tempered Mizutsune at higher ranks. Prepare your ice, thunder, or dragon weapons-this majestic monster awaits your challenge in the Scarlet Forest and Ruins of Wyveria.
How to unlock Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds
To unlock Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must first reach Hunter Rank 21 or higher and complete the main story campaign to enter High Rank. After meeting these requirements, visit the Scarlet Forest Base Camp and talk to Kanya, the fisher, who will have a blue exclamation mark above her name. She will give you the “Spirit in the Moonlight” extra mission, which involves helping with a fishing crisis and leads you to encounter Mizutsune. Defeat Mizutsune in this quest, and it will then be unlocked for regular hunting in the game. For Tempered Mizutsune, you need to reach Hunter Rank 41 or above to unlock the more challenging version of the quest.
To unlock Mizutsune, you need to be Hunter Rank 21 or above, have beaten the main story campaign of the game, and reached High Rank. Once you hit that rank, go to the Scarlet Forest and talk to Kanya, the fisher. You can find her in her usual spot by the pond in the Scarlet Forest basecamp.
Talk to her and ask, “What is it, fisherfellow” and she’ll tell you about a mysterious monster disturbing the local fishing spots.
Once she’s done talking, the game will automatically start the “Spirit in the Moonlight” quest. From there you can follow Kanya and she’ll take you directly to Mizutsune and you can fight it. After you beat it, Mizutsune will be available as a monster you can fight from then on out.
What secret steps do I need to unlock Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds
To unlock Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need to follow these secret steps:
-
Ensure you have installed Title Update 1, which introduces Mizutsune to the game.
-
Reach Hunter Rank (HR) 21 or above and complete the main story campaign to access High Rank content.
-
Go to the Scarlet Forest base camp and talk to Kanya, the fisherwoman, who will have a blue exclamation mark above her head once you meet the requirements.
-
Complete the “Spirit in the Moonlight” extra mission that Kanya gives you, which involves investigating a fishing crisis and leads to encountering Mizutsune.
-
Defeat Mizutsune in this quest and return to base camp to unlock it for regular hunting.
Additionally, at HR 41 or above, you can unlock a more challenging Tempered Mizutsune quest by talking to Alma and accepting the related quest.
A key secret is that some players have reported needing to complete the initial fishing quests from Kanya to trigger her dialogue for the Mizutsune quest, so make sure to complete those if the option does not appear immediately.
Do I need to complete the fishing quest line to unlock Mizutsune
Yes, you need to complete at least the first fishing quest from Kanya to unlock Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds. Players have reported that without completing this initial fishing quest, Kanya does not prompt the Mizutsune quest, even if you meet the Hunter Rank and story requirements. However, you do not need to finish the entire fishing quest line-just the first quest or the first two fishing quests should be enough to trigger the dialogue that unlocks the “Spirit in the Moonlight” quest leading to Mizutsune. After that, you can talk to Kanya at the Scarlet Forest base camp to start the Mizutsune hunt once you are Hunter Rank 21 or higher and have completed the main story.
