Rathalos Shell

Learn the best ways to farm Rathalos Shells in Monster Hunter Rise, including drop rates from different rewards and the gear you can craft.

Alright, let's talk about getting your hands on Rathalos Shells in Monster Hunter Rise! These are essential materials for crafting some pretty sweet Rathalos armor and weapons. You'll be hunting the big guy, Rathalos, to get them. He hangs out in the Shrine Ruins and the Lava Caverns, so keep those locations in mind.

Here's the lowdown on how those shells drop:

• Target Reward: You've got a 31% chance here if you successfully complete the hunt's main objective.
• Capture Reward: If you manage to capture Rathalos instead of defeating him outright, you'll get a 30% chance for a shell.
• Broken Part Reward: Breaking his head gives you a 30% chance, while breaking his back offers a whopping 68% chance! Definitely aim for the back if you can.
• Carves: When you carve up the Rathalos's body after the hunt, there's a 24% chance you'll get a shell.
• Dropped Material: Sometimes, Rathalos will drop materials during the fight. Picking these up gives you a 30% chance for a shell.

Now, why bother with all this? Because Rathalos Shells are key ingredients for some awesome gear. You'll need them for pieces of the Rathalos Armor set, like the Helm, Mail, Coil, and Greaves. Plus, they're used in a bunch of weapons across different classes, including Great Swords like the Aknosom Blade II, Switchaxes like the Rathalos Flamespitter I, and even Light Bowguns like the Rathling Gun I.
