Fantastic Stoutbone, a prized High Rank material in Monster Hunter Wilds, is critical for building high-capacity bone weapons and armor. If you want to add some raw power to your arsenal, knowing how to obtain and use this resource is crucial. This guide will delve into the specific quests and methods for obtaining Great Stoutbone, as well as explore the strengths and weaknesses of the equipment it helps create.
How to Get Great Stoutbone in MH Wilds
Great Stoutbones are a High Rank material that you can mainly get as quest rewards. You can find them by completing these quests:
- As Gatekeeper (Dual Ajarakan hunt)
- What We Protect (Blangonga hunt)
- Blangonga Excursion (Blangonga hunt)
- Doshaguma Hunt (Doshaguma hunt)
- Annihilating Anguish (Ajarakan hunt)
They can also drop from any Investigation or Field Survey involving these monsters. On the world map, you can check what rewards a monster drops by selecting the monster (press X on PS5 or A on Xbox). Then, to see the quest rewards, press R1 on PS5 or RB on Xbox.
How to Use Great Stoutbone in MH Wilds
Great Stoutbones are mainly used to craft Tier 4 Bone Tree weapons and the armor sets of the three monsters tied to these weapons.
Bone weapons generally have higher raw attack power compared to metal ones, but they come with some trade-offs. They usually have lower sharpness, meaning you’ll need to sharpen them more often, and it’s harder to reach or maintain white or purple sharpness levels for long.
Another drawback is that many Bone weapons have negative Affinity, which reduces your chances of landing critical hits. Since crits depend on Affinity, you’ll need skills like Critical Eye and Weakness Exploit to boost your chances of dealing extra damage.
