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

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

To obtain Frenzy Shards, you must take on and defeat Frenzied monsters. These creatures, infected with the Frenzy Virus, begin to appear during High Rank missions. Though they may resemble their regular counterparts, don’t let their appearance fool you. Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, posing a formidable challenge.

Upon successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards. These valuable resources are essential for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your capabilities in the game.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals are another crucial crafting material, but they are exclusively sourced from Gore Magala. To obtain these crystals, you need to wound Gore Magala and subsequently destroy those wounds, which gives you a chance to acquire a Frenzy Crystal.

You’ll encounter Gore Magala during High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths." This quest marks your entry into battling this challenging foe and securing your Frenzy Crystals.
