How to find and beat Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds
The first major Monster Hunter Wilds update is here, bringing a wide array of new features, including new weapons, armor sets—and above all else, the arrival of MH Generations' Mizutsune. But how exactly can you unlock both the regular and tempered versions of the monster? Here's how to find and beat Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Image by Destructoid How to beat Mizutsune in MH Wilds Image by Destructoid Like in Generations, spatial awareness is a must when facing Mizutsune in MH Wilds, as the monster pairs its highly aggressive moveset—composed of tail spins, lunges, and jet streams—with the ability to constantly let out damaging bubbles capable of applying both Waterblight and Bubbleblight. All effects can be cancelled by rolling around, as well as by using Cleansers. While enraged, the monster becomes capable of also applying Fireblight, which will eat away your HP until removed. I know the above can be overwhelming, but don't worry—the Mizutsune is weak to Ice, Dragon, and Electric, and can be countered by aiming at its head while making use of Cut and Blunt weapons. Image by Destructoid Being aggressive is also key here, since most of Mizutsune's big attacks can be easily telegraphed even when up close. Just make sure to respect its bubbles and jets, as a Tempered Mizutsune can easily one-shot even the most prepared hunter by pairing its heavy damage and its effects. If you want a bigger layer of protection, equipping water-resistant armor sets can also help a lot. All Mizutsune armor recipes Like all other big monsters in the game, you can craft both Alpha and Beta versions of the Mizusune armor set in Monster Hunter Wilds. The High Rank sets will become available after facing Mizutsune for the first time, and each of its parts can be crafted by using the materials below: Mizutsune Helm: Five Mizutsune Scale+, three Bubblefoam+, and two Piragill Fin+ Mizutsune Mail: Two Mizutsune Cerfificate S, two Mizutsune Claw+, five Mizutsune Fin+, and one Wyvern Gem Mizutsune Coil: One Mizutzune Cerfificate S, five Mizutsune Purplefur+, three Mizutsune Claw+, and two Torrent Sac Mizutsune Greaves: One Mizutzune Cerfificate S, four Mizutsune Scale+, four Bubblefoam+, and one Mizutsune Water Orb As a true hunter never forgets their loyal companions, you can also craft the full Alpha Mizutsune Palico set by expending one Mizutsune Claw+ for the Parasol, one Mizutsune Scale+ for the suit, and one Mizutsune Purplefur+ for the Feline Mizutsune Kasa.
