Monster Hunter Wilds' Gravios is a quest where you can collect additional ingredients from various places to use for the BBQ Grill!
Obtain Ingredients for Meals
"Gravios Blockade" is an event quest where you can get ingredients such as Kunafa Cheese, Droolshroom, Mud Shrimp, Fluffy Egg, and Sild Garlic. This won't be consistent as sometimes you get 5 ingredients as a reward, and other times you may get none. Collect more ingredients by repeating the quest.
How to Cook Meals GuideIngredients and Effects
| Ingredients | Effects |
|---|---|
| Kunafa Cheese | Defender Meal (Lo) Small chance to decrease damage taken. |
| Droolshroom | Black Belt Meal (Lo) Reduces stamina consumption for actions that consume stamina, such as evading. |
| Mud Shrimp | Tumbler meal (Lo) Invincibility time when evading increases slightly. |
| Fluffy Egg | Caprice Meal (Lo) An egg with a yolk and white as fluffy as the Downy Crake that laid it. A great addition to any dish. |
| Sild Garlic | Moxie Meal (Lo) When your health is approximately 45% or more, you will not run out of energy even if you receive more damage than that. (Once per Quest) |
Obtain Pick-a-meal Vouchers
You can also get a "Pick-a-meal Voucher" in the Gravios Blockade Event. If you use it at the Grand Hub you can eat a special meal so we recommend collecting it. When we tried, we only got one after 5 times, so the probability seems to be low.
Pick-a-meal Voucher GuideClear with Sakuratide Alpha
If you complete the quest with at least 2 pieces of the "Sakuratide Alpha" equipped, which can be created by clearing the "Blossomdance" quests, you will get an additional reward slot. However, the probability of getting a "Pick-a-meal Voucher" is quite low, so it will still take some time to get it.
| Bonus Reward Items in Extra Slot | ||
|---|---|---|
| Blossomdance Ticket | Large Barrel Bomb | Blossomdance Voucher |
| Pick-a-meal Voucher | Barrel Bowling Voucher | |
Must Wear Sakuratide Alpha
Even if you start the quest while wearing Sakuratide Alpha, if you switch to any equipment other than Sakuratide Alpha during the quest and then clear it, the reward slot will not appear. Note that you need to clear the quest while wearing the Sakuratide Alpha.
Also Good For Raising HR
You cannot get that many HR points in Gravios Blockade. However, you can raise your HR while collecting various ingredients, Pick-a-meal Voucher, Hard Armor Sphere, etc.. If you have no reason to be doing other quests to raise your HR, we recommend doing runs on Gravios Blockade.

When farming Gravios Blockade with a Water-element weapon, the Uth Duna bowgun is highly recommended. As a forgeable weapon, it's easy to obtain and delivers clear times comparable to the Artian Water Heavy Bowgun. Use guard to counter Gravios’s roar, and incorporate Flash Pods and traps to control its movement and maintain offensive pressure.

If you've already forged the Artian Water Heavy Bowgun, it remains a strong option for this hunt. Open with a Sneak Attack to activate Ambush, then focus on firing Water Ammo directly at Gravios’s belly. Use guard to counter its roar, and keep it locked down with Flash Pods and traps. In solo runs, clear times typically range from 1:20 to 1:40, with optimal runs dipping into the low 1-minute range.
If Ambush Activation Is Unreliable, Consider Peak Performance
There are cases where Ambush may fail to trigger during Sneak Attack. If this occurs too frequently and the skill becomes unreliable, consider switching to alternatives like
How to Farm Gravios Blockade
- Use Water Element Heavy Bowgun
- Pre-hunt Preparation
- Bring Flash Pods and Capture Items
- Eat a Suja meal to activate 'Exploiter Meal' - Keep Shooting Water Ammo in the Stomach
- Stop Enemy Actions With Flash Pod
- Capture It When It’s Weakened
Use Water Element Heavy Bowgun
Water Element Heavy Bowgun Equipment is most suitable. Gravios is extremely weak against Water Element and can be defeated in a few minutes, and it is easy to operate, so you can start doing runs immediately.
Prepare Flash Pod and Capturing Items
Prepare Flash Pods, Shock Traps, and Tranq Bombs in preparation for doing runs. You'll be using quite a lot, so don't forget to have some ready.
Eat a Suja Meal to Activate 'Exploiter Meal'
Eating a Suja meal activates the 'Exploiter Meal' effect for 50 minutes, making it easier to break the belly. Be sure to eat one before starting the quest. Suja meals can be obtained at the 'Grand Hub' by using either a 'Suja Meal Voucher' or a 'Pick-a-meal Voucher.' The 'Pick-a-meal Voucher' can be obtained as a reward in this quest, allowing you to continue eating without worrying about running out of meal vouchers.
Keep Shooting Water Ammo in the Stomach
When the quest starts, go down and keep shooting the stomach with Water Ammo. Stagger will occur many times, so you can keep shooting Water Ammo.
If Sneak Attack Fails as Opening, Use Flash Pod
When Gravios stops and looks around, sneak attack or normal attacks may deal significantly reduced damage. In this case, you can either be detected by the monster or use a Flash Pod to provoke it. While this prevents Ambush from activating, your damage will return to normal shortly after.
Stop Enemy Actions with Flash Pod
If Gravios tries to use a Dash or Breath Attack, use a Flash Pod to stop it. If you activate the skill "Blindsider", the range of the Flash will expand, and it will be easier to hit. It can be activated with Flash Jewel 1, so we recommend activating it if you have the time.
Capture Once Weakened
During battle, always look at the bottom left of the screen and when you see a skull mark, place traps to capture it. With the Water Heavy Bowgun, it will take about 1 minute 30 seconds even if you're playing solo.
