Tips
  • Maximeld is a unique service in Cathar that uses Frenzy Crystal items to meld unwanted Talismans into new, randomized ones.
  • Frenzied monsters attack faster and hit harder.
  • For the 'Remobra Remedy' quest (Slay 6 Remobras in Heaven’s Mount, Area 3), consider using weapons with high reach like a Lance, Switch Axe, or gunner weapons, or lure Remobras to feed on the corpses of fallen ones.
  • For 'Rathalos Renovation' (Capture a Rathalos in Volcanic Hollow), bring paintballs, Cool Drinks, traps, and tranquilizers.
  • For 'Ruler of the Frozen Seaway' (Hunt a Tigrex in Frozen Seaway), bring Hot Drinks.
  • For 'Speartune Fishing' (Deliver 3 Speartuna in Frozen Seaway, Area 2), be prepared for a Zamtrios encounter. Bring Dung Bombs or be ready to fight.
  • Completing 'Advanced: En Trade Route' (Hunt a Zamtrios and a Lagombi in Frozen Seaway) provides your third and final cart for multiplying items.
