Need Magnamalo Scale for your gear? Learn the best ways to farm this tough material from Magnamalo in Monster Hunter Rise, including drop rates and uses.

Alright, let's talk about the Magnamalo Scale in Monster Hunter Rise. This is a pretty sturdy material, described as flexible and resistant to fangs, which sounds about right for a Magnamalo part! You'll primarily be snagging these from fighting the Magnamalo monster itself, specifically when it's in Low Rank. Keep in mind, it's not the easiest monster to take down, but the rewards are worth it for crafting some sweet gear.

Here's a quick rundown of its basic stats:
