Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's still plenty to explore and conquer, especially with the High Rank content. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to get and use Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are valuable resources you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. Don't be fooled by their similar appearance to regular monsters; Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, posing a formidable challenge.

Upon defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards. These shards are essential for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your arsenal for tougher battles ahead.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals, another crucial crafting material, are exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. To obtain these crystals, you must wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds during combat. This action increases your chances of acquiring Frenzy Crystals.

You'll encounter Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths". Prepare well for this encounter, as Gore Magala is not only a source of Frenzy Crystals but also a challenging adversary.

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals

Using Frenzy Shards is straightforward—just like any other crafting material in the game. Visit Base Camp and talk to Gemma to begin crafting new gear. Here's a list of gear that requires Frenzy Shards:

How to Find Frenzied Monsters

Most High Rank optional quests will feature Frenzied monsters, making these quests your primary hunting ground. However, not all monsters are affected by the Frenzy Virus. The exceptions are:

  • Zoh
  • Shia
  • Arkveld
  • Gore Magala

Interestingly, Gore Magala, being the source of the Frenzy Virus, remains unaffected itself but can still be farmed for Frenzy Crystals.
