Way of the Pukei

Learn how to complete the 'Way of the Pukei' quest in Monster Hunter Rise. Discover Pukei-Pukei's locations, weaknesses, and strategies for this 2-star Hub Quest.

Alright, let's get you prepped for the 'Way of the Pukei' quest in Monster Hunter Rise. This one pops up once you hit 2-star Hub Quests, and it's all about taking down that pesky Pukei-Pukei. Before you head out, make sure you've chowed down on some tasty Bunny Dango and, crucially, that you're packing a Thunder-elemental weapon. Pukei-Pukei *really* doesn't like Thunder.

You'll be heading into the Sandy Plains for this hunt, which has a time limit of 50 minutes. As for where you'll actually find Pukei-Pukei, it's a bit of a wanderer:

So, your best bet is Area 11, but don't be surprised if it's lurking in Areas 6 or 8. Just head to one of these spots, and you should eventually run into it. Keep an eye out, because Pukei-Pukei is known for its nasty poison attacks, often using its long tongue and spitting venom. It's a Bird Wyvern, and while it was introduced in Monster Hunter World, it's a classic for a reason. Remember, Thunder is your friend here!
