How to get monster fluid in Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster fluid is an equipment material in Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s described as “a liquid bugs suck from monsters” (gross). At High Rank, monster fluid becomes monster broth, but you find it the same way and from the same monsters.

You’ll need monster fluid to forge weapons like the Bone Axe 2 and armor like the Vespoid Coil.

Our Monster Hunter Wilds guide will tell you how to get monster fluid and how to collect it.

Where to find monster fluid in Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster fluid is a carvable material from insects and certain insect-like monsters both large and small. The large monster Lala Barina has about a one in five chance of giving you some when killed or captured. Small monsters like bulaqchi or vespoids also have low chance to reward monster fluid.

A much more reliable way to collect (a lot of) monster fluid, is to look for nerscylla hatchlings. These have a 100% drop rate for monster fluid. You’ll only find these in places where you can also find nerscylla (obviously), so your best bet is to head to the Iceshard Cliffs.

Once there, nerscylla hatchlings will appear as small monster icons on your map. Open your map and hit right on the D-pad twice. Scroll down through the filter to look for nerscylla hatchlings and set one as the waypoint for your seikret. Areas 2 and 4 seem like their favorite places.

All that’s left to do is slay a bunch of nerscylla hatchlings and carve their bodies.

Alternately, every time you take on a nerscylla optional quest like “Dance of Shadows” or a nerscylla investigation, there’s a good chance it will lead you to an area full of nerscylla hatchlings. A bunch of them will undoubtedly get killed in the process, so you can just carve them once the large monster runs off.
