Talismans

Learn how to unlock and use the Melding Pot in Monster Hunter Rise to craft powerful talismans. Discover melding options, skills, and the best strategies for the talisman grind.

Talismans are powerful accessories in Monster Hunter Rise that provide passive skills and can be crafted using the Melding Pot. This guide explains how to unlock the Melding Pot, use its various options, and equip your newly crafted talismans.

How to Unlock Talismans

The Melding Pot becomes available after completing any quest after unlocking 5-star Village Quests or 3-star Hub Quests. This typically involves defeating the Urgent Quest “Comeuppance” or “Hellfire,” which features a fight against Magnamalo.

Using the Melding Pot

Access the Melding Pot by speaking to the merchant (Kagero in Kamura Village or Maido in the Gathering Hub) and selecting the Melding Pot option from the shop menu. You will receive a tutorial on its use upon first access.

Melding Options

Option	Description	How to Unlock
Reflecting Pool	Can choose 1 skill	Unlock 5-star Village Quests or 3-star Hub Quests
Haze	Can choose 1 skill	Unlock 5-star Hub Quests
Moonbow	Can choose 1 skill	Unlock 7-star Hub Quests
Wisp of Mystery	Skills are random	Clear the Hub Quest “Serpent Goddess of Thunder”
Rebirth	Skills are random	Clear the Hub Quest “Serpent Goddess of Thunder”

How Melding Works

When using options like Reflecting Pool, Haze, or Moonbow, you can select a desired passive skill from a list. Note that the chosen skill is not guaranteed and has a probability of appearing, indicated on the left side of the selection screen.

After selecting a skill or choosing a random option, you must pay a certain amount of Kamura Points and provide materials to fill a meter. Once confirmed, your talisman order is placed in the queue. You can queue multiple orders, up to 10, but each quest completion only fulfills one order.

Receiving Your Talisman

Talismans are fulfilled one per quest completion, excluding Expedition Quests. Failing a quest also counts towards fulfilling an order and is the fastest method.

When you receive a talisman, its skills, skill level, and number of slots are randomized. Talismans cannot be upgraded, so obtaining better ones requires repeated melding and hoping for favorable random rolls.

Equipping a Talisman

To equip a talisman, go to your item box, select “Manage Equipment,” then “Change Equipment.” The talisman slot is located near the bottom, below the Petalace. If the slot is not visible, you do not currently possess any talismans.
