Learn how to hunt Raphinos in Monster Hunter: World's 'On Nightmare's Wings' quest. This guide covers Rotten Vale areas, toxic mist, and the Cleanser Booster reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start this quest with the objective to slay 5 Raphinos. These are small, flying monsters that can be a bit tricky to hit, especially with their weapons. The Slinger isn't very effective against them due to their sturdiness.
  2. 2
    Your main challenge here isn't just the Raphinos, but also the environment. They tend to appear in the Rotten Vale's toxic mist areas. You'll also encounter Girros, but they usually scatter when you engage them.
  3. 3
    Begin by heading to AREA 3. From there, go downhill towards the west, and then continue downhill to the north.
  4. 4
    This path will lead you to AREA 6, where you should find your first Raphinos. You might also spot the Great Girros around this area, but don't worry about it for now.
  5. 5
    Focus on defeating the Raphinos you find in Area 6.
  6. 6
    After clearing out any Raphinos in Area 6, descend deeper into the Rotten Vale to find any remaining specimens you need to hunt.
  7. 7
    Once you've successfully slain all five Raphinos, the quest will be completed.
  8. 8
    Return to Astera and speak with the Armory clerk to receive your reward: the Cleanser Booster tool. This tool functions similarly to the Health Booster but cures status ailments and elemental blights instead of restoring health.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on your surroundings, especially for the toxic mist in the Rotten Vale, which can damage you over time.
  • While Girros can be present, they tend to flee, so focus your attention on the Raphinos.
  • The Raphinos are flying monsters, so weapons with good reach or aerial attacks can be beneficial.
