How To Unlock Tempered Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Tempered Mizutsune appears in the Scarlet Forest randomly, mostly duringInclemency. However, there are a few requirements you need to meet before the monster in the overworld. Primarily, you first need to complete theSpirit in the MoonlightSide Quest, which introduces you toMizutsune. Once you defeat Mizutsune, its Tempered variant will randomly show up, exclusively in theScarlet Forestregion.

Furthermore, before you may take on Mizutsune, you need to reachHunter Rank (HR) 24. While Mizutsune can be fought at HR 24, we recommend doing so at 40, after finishing the High Rank campaign. That way, you’ll have more options available to you in terms of gear.
