Bubble Trouble & Badder Baddies

That slippery show-off Mizutsune slithers back into the fray, bringing its bubble-based shenanigans straight from Monster Hunter Rise! Hunters gotta hit Rank 21 to chase this glamorous gloop-machine in Scarlet Forest. Word to the wise: don't underestimate those sudsy traps—Mizutsune still loves turning hunters into helpless bath-time rubber duckies! 🦆💦 For the masochists out there, a Tempered version unlocks at Rank 41. But wait—there's more! After hitting Rank 50:

  • Arch-Tempered Rey Dau flexes its upgraded spikes in a new event quest

  • Rewards include the sleek Rey Dau Gamma armor set

  • Zoh Shia rematch in Wyveria ruins during Wyvern's Wakening

Quest-pocalypse Galore

Title Update 1 floods the job board with fresh ways to test your metal:

Quest Type Requirements Max Players Rewards
Arena Quests Preset gear 1-2 Pendants & special armor
Challenge Quests Limited-time events 1-4 Cooking ingredients & camp decor
Free Challenge No gear restrictions 1-4 High-score pendants

All support cross-platform hunts, and phew—that Expedition Record Board isn't just for show! Top scores snag flashy pendants. Pro tip: free challenge quests vanish like rare endemic life, so don’t snooze!

Grand Hub: Your New Hunting Hangout

Say hello to the Grand Hub, where hunters trade bone clubs for bowling balls! This swanky social space features:

  • 🎳 Barrell Bowling mini-games (win handy items!)

  • 🎤 Nightly vocal performances by Diva

  • Relocated Squad Management counter

  • Centralized Expedition Record board

It’s basically the hunter equivalent of a luxury resort… if that resort had giant monster trophies on the walls. Oh, and starting April 23rd, it’ll host the first seasonal festival with:

  • Exclusive gear and gestures

  • Alma’s snazzy new outfit + unique quest

  • Limited-time camp decorations

  • Festive meals and atmosphere
