How to make Demondrug in Monster Hunter Wilds

As far as consumables go, Demondrug is one the most important ones to craft in Monster Hunter Wilds. It has several applications, with one big one that any seasoned hunter should always be taking advantage of. Let's cover that that is. How to craft Demondrug in Monster Hunter Wilds Demondrug is a consumable in Monster Hunter Wilds that provides you with a sizable damage buff that is permanent until you either cart (die) or the buff is replaced with a better version. Generally speaking, in hunts with decently powerful monsters, you'll want to make sure you buff up with Demondrug before you start fighting. The difference is big enough that it's worth the time and patience to craft it. To make Demondrug, you'll need two key materials: Catalyst and Might Seed. There are numerous ways to obtain these two reagents, but constancy is what's most important when comes to consumables in Monster Hunter titles, so the consistent method is the one I'll be sharing with you. How to get Catalyst Catalyst is made by combining Bitterbug with Honey, both of which are resources commonly found in areas with an abundance of life. Locations like the Scarlet Forest and the Wild Plains* are the best places to harvest both. Look for a blue bettle and a brown honeycone on the map, to pin locations for these resources. Use the Botany skill to harvest more than the normal amount from each node you interact with.

In this case, select the '?????' to craft your first Catalyst. You only need one of each of the mentioned materials to make a single Catalyst, but you'll need to make as many Catalyst as you can throughout your playthrough, as it is one of the most crucial, critical materials for several potent consumable items beyond Demondrug. How to get Might Seed Unlike Catalyst, Might Seeds are not crafted. Instead, they are found by harvesting plants and growing them. While these are not as common as Bitterbug or Honey, they are still not difficult to find and you can locate them easily using your map and pinpointing the exact location of them there.

Crafting Demondrug Once you have at least one Catalyst and Might Seed, you can craft Demondrug simliarly to how you crafted Catalyst initially. Open the Crafting List and scroll over to number 19 in the list. If you've not made Demondrug before, this will appear as simply question marks. Select the '?????' and you'll have crafted your very first Demondrug consumable.
