How to Get Frenzy Shards & Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's still plenty to see and do as you delve into the High Rank content. Here's how to get and use Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are a valuable resource 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 similarity to regular monsters; Frenzied monsters are far more dangerous. They deal significantly more damage and exhibit increased aggression, making them a formidable challenge. Upon successfully killing or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, essential for forging new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals are another crucial crafting material, but they can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you manage to wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, there's a chance you'll receive a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala once you progress to High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."

How to Find Frenzied Monsters
