How to Obtain Frenzy Shards and Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with the High Rank content. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to get and use Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

To obtain Frenzy Shards, you'll need to take down Frenzied monsters. These creatures start appearing during High Rank missions and, while they resemble their regular counterparts, they are far more dangerous. Frenzied monsters not only deal significantly more damage but are also more aggressive, making them formidable foes. Upon defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, essential for crafting new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals are another vital crafting material, but they're exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. When you successfully wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, you have a chance to obtain a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals

How to Find Frenzied Monsters

Most High Rank optional quests will introduce you to Frenzied monsters. However, a few monsters in the game do not carry the Frenzy Virus, including:

• Shia
• Arkveld
• Gore Magala

Interestingly, Gore Magala itself is the source of the Frenzy Virus, so you can farm it specifically for Frenzy Crystals.
