A Test of Courage

Master 'A Test of Courage' in Monster Hunter Rise! Learn Magnamalo and Zinogre locations, weaknesses, and strategies to conquer this challenging 6-star Village Quest.

Alright, so you've hit 6-star Village Quests and are ready for 'A Test of Courage.' This one's a bit of a doozy because you'll be facing two big threats: Magnamalo and Zinogre. Don't sweat it, though! We'll get you through it. This quest is all about taking down both of these monsters.

First things first, when you accept the quest, make sure you've got some good food in your belly – a Bunny Dango is always a solid choice. And for your weapon, you'll want something with Dragon element if possible, as that'll give you an edge. This quest has a 50-minute time limit and rewards you with 7440 Zenny when you succeed.

Where to Find Them:

Magnamalo and Zinogre don't always hang out in the same spot. You'll need to hunt them down in the Shrine Ruins. Here's where you're most likely to find them:

• Magnamalo: He's most commonly found in Area 9 (60% chance), but you might also find him in Area 12 (30% chance) or Area 6 (10% chance).
• Zinogre: Zinogre prefers Area 4 (70% chance), but he can also show up in Area 8 (30% chance).

Dealing with Magnamalo:

Magnamalo is a Fanged Wyvern that's particularly weak to Water element attacks. Keep an eye out for its signature move: expelling a special gas that it ignites into eerie purple flames. If you get hit by this 'hellfire,' you'll get hellfireblight, which means you'll explode after a short time or if you take more damage. It's pretty nasty, so try to avoid those purple flames at all costs! For a deeper dive into fighting Magnamalo, check out its dedicated page.

Dealing with Zinogre:

Zinogre, another Fanged Wyvern, is really weak against Ice element attacks. This guy loves to call down lightning from the sky to zap you. It's a classic monster, first appearing in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Again, if you need more detailed strategies for Zinogre, there's a separate page for that.

Finishing Up:

Once you've successfully taken down both Magnamalo and Zinogre, just head back to Kamura Village. Find Hinoa, report in, and you'll have completed 'A Test of Courage!' Nice job!
