New Locale - Frost Islands

A New, Frosty Locale

An icy new landscape presents itself for exploration in Monster Hunter Rise - we were shown a glimpse of the Frost Islands, an eerie locale said to have contained dragon nests.

Use Endemic Life To Your Advantage

Endemic Life is shaping up to be an important mechanic in Monster Hunter Rise, and you'll be able to make use of it in the Frost Islands as well. It's not clear what kind of buffs these creatures will provide exactly, but they're said to be helpful on your quest!

List Of Showcased Monsters

New Monster: Magnamalo

Magnamalo, the Flagship Monster of Monster Hunter Rise, is a fearsome beast with a body enveloped in a thick, near unbreakable carapace. We can expect it to attack the player with its tail, and with a lethal poisonous gas.

New Monster: Goss Harag

Goss Harag is a new creature found in the Frost Islands locale. It uses its icy breath to forge a blade out of ice, which it uses to decimate its opponents.

Fanged Wyvern: Barioth

This terrifying wyvern is built for the snowy climate, with scales on its appendages that let it maneuver icy surfaces with ease.

Bird Wyvern: Great Baggi

The Great Baggi has a characteristically blue-white coloration, with a large protruding crest on its head. It will attempt to put players to sleep with its dangerous fluid, so be careful!

Fanged Beast: Lagombi

The Lagombi is a fanged beast that glides along the snow on its belly. This monster will likely require a speedy reaction time to effectively defeat it!

Flying Wyvern: Khezu

The Khezu is a thing of nightmares, a creepy wyvern that lurks in the darkness and releases electricity from its body and long neck.

Leviathan Mizutsune

Mizutsune is a special leviathan-like creature that will create bubbles with a fluid it emits. These bubbles will impair your movement speed, so you'll no doubt have to avoid them.

Flying Wyvern: Tigrex

The Tigrex is another flying wyvern that will rush toward you at extreme speeds, dealing heavy damage with its claws and jaw.

New Action: Wyvern Riding

Use Wirebug To Mount Monsters

Although you'll need to meet a certain unspecified set of requirements first to do so, you will eventually be able to mount monsters! By using the Wirebug you'll be able to ride a monster - you can even manipulate it into attacking other monsters for you!

↑ Wyverns pit against each other, with you riding one of them!

Characters & Base

Base - Kamura Village

Training Area

The training area is a portion of Kamura village where you'll be able to engage in practice battles to try out your various weapons! Head here to hone your skills before using a new weapon against real monsters.

New Character Info

Fugen

Fugen is the leader of Kamura village. He is widely respected by all villagers, and is a powerful warrior to boot.

Minoto & Hinoa

Minoto and Hinoa are the village "quest hub" maidens. They are twins whose beautiful singing brings solace and respite to the people of Kamura village.

Yomogi

Yomogi is a cheerful young girl who is in charge of the village Tea shop.

Hojo

Hojo is the oldest person in the village, and also acts as a Guild Master. He is responsible for quests you'll see on the quest board!

Master Utsushi

This mask wearing young man is the head of the hunters of the village.

Iori

Iori is in charge of Buddies in the village, meaning he'll likely help provide you with a Palamute or Palico of your own!

Kogarashi

Kogarashi is, despite his stature, somewhat intimidating. He's also in charge of the "Meowcenaries", presumably a group of feline mercenaries. Perhaps they'll be for hire?

Rondine

Rondine is a trader from a faraway land, and she'll likely offer you rare goods for trade!
