While the title of the series may make it seem pretty straightforward, there's actually much more to the Monster Hunting games than just hunting monsters. These are hunting RPGs, and the act of tackling some of the most massive, aggressive, and awe-inspiring beasts ever seen are certainly the core, but the things between the hunts are just as important. It's between hunts where you can craft new items to upgrade your hunter in meaningful ways so that you're able to actually stand a chance against the next bigger and badder monster.

Difficulty

Easy

Aside from carving materials from the corpses of your fallen prey, mining ores is a component vital to improving your weapons in particular. Awegite is a brand new ore that is only found in the new Sunbreak areas. However, unlike monsters, you won't really get a lot of clues as to where to find the spots you can actually mine this rare resource from. If you're stuck trying to find where to find Awegite or want to know what it can be used for in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, we'll lead the way.

Where to find Awegite

This new ore needs to be mined from specific outcrops in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Here's where you can find it and how to spot it.

Step 1: Go to the Shrine Ruins area in Master Rank.

Step 2: Locate the white or blue mining outcrops on the map. There are 11 of these outcrops to mine.

Step 3: Like drop rates, there's no guarantee that any or all of these mining spots will give you Awegite, but hitting all of them will give you a good chance.

Step 4: To boost your chances, you can equip the level 3 Geologist skill in your Decorations to increase how many times you can mine a single ore deposit.

What is Awegite used for?

Awegite is a necessary upgrade for upgrading your Kamura weapons and armors. It can also be sold for a high price if you're low on funds but is better saved for crafting.

Inside Capcom: how Monster Hunter Wilds’ sights and sounds are made
monster hunter wilds capcom studio tour mh obt screens 02

When I demoed the first five hours of Monster Hunter Wilds, I was thoroughly impressed by how detailed Capcom's latest AAA game is. 2018's Monster Hunter World was already a pretty game, but Monster Hunter Wilds takes it a step further with delicately designed animations and immaculate sound design. To top it all off, this game features one of the best main themes of a Capcom game ever. Capcom has been at the top of its game for the past several years, but I didn't fully understand why until recently.

Last month, Capcom flew me to Osaka, Japan, where I toured its headquarters. I already appreciated the visual power of the RE Engine, the proprietary game engine that Capcom has used for most of its recent Resident Evil games, Exoprimal, Dragon's Dogma 2, and more. During this tour, I learned how it has vastly improved the motion capture experience for Monster Hunter Wilds. On top of that, I gained more insight from the sound designers and musicians behind the game as to how Monster Hunter Wilds' memorable sound effects and main theme were created.

I played the first 5 hours of Monster Hunter Wilds and can’t wait to see more
Key art for Monster Hunter Wilds.

I’ve played the opening five hours of Monster Hunter Wilds and can’t wait to play more. That’s a massive change from how I’ve typically felt after playing previous games in the series.

Although I’ve attempted to get into games like Monster Hunter 4, Monster Hunter World, and Monster Hunter Rise, I’ve quickly dropped off each game. Hunts are very stressful and complex. While people adore this formula, I could never get over the initial learning curve in any Monster Hunter game I played. That changed when I got to go hands-on with Monster Hunter Wilds’ opening hours.
