Ready to take on Arzuros and Tetranodon in Monster Hunter Rise's Third Wheel quest? Get the lowdown on their weaknesses, attack patterns, and how to emerge victorious!
Alright, so you've hit 4-star Village Quests and the 'Third Wheel' quest is calling your name. This one's a bit of a tag-team match, pitting you against both Arzuros and Tetranodon in the Arena. Don't sweat it, though! We'll get you through it.
Walkthrough
- 1Accept the Quest: First things first, grab the 'Third Wheel' quest from the Village Noticeboard. It's available once you've unlocked 4-star Village Quests.
- 2Gear Up: Before you head out, make sure you've eaten some Bunny Dango for buffs. For weapons, Arzuros is weak to Fire, and Tetranodon is weak to Thunder. So, pick the best Fire or Thunder weapon you've got. Also, pack some Honey – it's a key item for this fight!
- 3Head to the Arena: Both Arzuros and Tetranodon will be waiting for you in Area 11 of the Arena. They both have a 100% chance of appearing there.
- 4Tackle Arzuros: This Fanged Beast loves to use its claws and forearms. Your best bet is to attack from behind to avoid its heavy hits. A neat trick is to use the Honey you brought; Arzuros will sometimes steal it and stop to eat, giving you a perfect opening for some free damage. Remember, Fire is its main weakness, so keep that in mind.
- 5Face Tetranodon: Tetranodon is an Amphibian that likes to throw things. In its smaller form, it'll spit three water balls. When it gets bigger, it can launch a large water ball or even pick up rocks to hurl at you. Thunder weapons are your best bet here, as it's highly susceptible to them.
- 6Return to Kamura: Once you've successfully defeated both Arzuros and Tetranodon, make your way back to Kamura Village. Chat with Hinoa to complete the quest and claim your rewards.
