"Guide to Obtaining Frenzy Shards & Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Even after you’ve rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with High Rank content. Here’s your guide to obtaining and utilizing Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are crucial crafting materials you can acquire by defeating Frenzied monsters. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing in High Rank missions. Don’t let their familiar appearance fool you; they’re far more dangerous, dealing increased damage and displaying heightened aggression. Successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster rewards you with Frenzy Shards, which you can use to forge new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals, another essential crafting material, are exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. When you inflict and destroy wounds on Gore Magala, there's a chance you'll obtain a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest "Misty Depths."
