Learn the best ways to farm Aknosom Crests in Monster Hunter Rise, including drop rates from captures and part breaks, and see what weapons and armor you can craft.
Alright, hunter! So you're looking to snag some Aknosom Crests, huh? These are important little bits you'll need for some pretty cool gear. Aknosom themselves hang out in the Frost Islands and Shrine Ruins, so that's where you'll be heading to hunt them down. Let's break down how you can get your hands on these Crests.
How to Get Aknosom Crests:
When you're out hunting Aknosom, there are two main ways to get Crests:
- Broken Part Reward: This is your best bet. If you focus on breaking specific parts of the Aknosom, you have a 100% chance of getting an Aknosom Crest as a reward. Keep an eye on which parts you're hitting!
- Capture Reward: If you manage to capture the Aknosom instead of defeating it outright, there's a small 5% chance you'll get an Aknosom Crest from the capture rewards. It's a bit of a gamble, but sometimes it pays off.
What You Can Craft with Aknosom Crests:
These Crests aren't just for show; they're key ingredients for some gear:
Weapons:
| Weapon | Class | Amount Needed |
| Aknosom Blade I | Great Sword | Aknosom Crest x1 |
| Aknosom Blade II | Great Sword | Aknosom Crest x1 |
Armor:
| Armor Piece | Amount Needed |
| Aknosom Helm | Aknosom Crest x1 |
| Aknosom Coil | Aknosom Crest x1 |
| Mizutsune Coil | Aknosom Crest x1 |
- Focus your attacks on specific parts of the Aknosom to guarantee those Crest drops. Check your Hunter's Notes for weak points!
- While capturing is an option, aiming for part breaks is generally more reliable for getting Crests.
- Remember, Aknosom are found in both the Frost Islands and Shrine Ruins, so pick the locale you're most comfortable with.
