Learn the best strategies for Monster Hunter Rise's Special License Test 3. This guide covers preparing for Rathalos, Zinogre, and Almudron, including gear, traps, and Wyvern Riding tactics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prepare for Rathalos: Gear up with Fire Resistance. A Dragon or Thunder weapon is recommended. Bring Shock Traps, Pitfall Traps, Tranq Bombs, and Flash Bombs.
  2. 2
    Face Rathalos: Rathalos typically spawns in Area 11, but can also appear in Area 13 or Area 8. Fast-travel to a Sub-Camp for quick access. Use Flash Bombs to bring it down when it flies. Aim to defeat Rathalos within 15-20 minutes.
  3. 3
    Prepare for Zinogre: After Zinogre appears, lure Rathalos and Zinogre together using Stinkminks. Use Wyvern Riding to make them damage each other. Ride the first monster until you unlock the Mounted Punisher, then launch it into the second monster. Ride the second monster and use its Mounted Punisher.
  4. 4
    Face Zinogre: After Zinogre spawns, fast-travel to your main or sub-camp. Swap your armor for one with high Thunder Resistance. An Ice weapon can also be effective. Zinogre is always on the ground, making it easier to fight than Rathalos.
  5. 5
    Prepare for Almudron: Once Zinogre has been fought for a while, Almudron will appear. Use Wyvern Riding again to deal easy damage to both remaining monsters. Be cautious if Zinogre is fully charged, as its dash attack is very fast.
  6. 6
    Face Almudron: Return to your tent and swap your armor for one with high Water Resistance. Gear with Muck Resistance (Level 2 negates mud effects) is also beneficial. Bring a new set of traps. Fight Almudron carefully.
  7. 7
    Capture Monsters: To reduce the chance of timing out, capture all three monsters. Your Palico will notify you when a monster is ready to be captured. Capturing each monster can save approximately 3 minutes.
Tips
  • Always carry traps (Shock and Pitfall) and Tranq Bombs for capturing.
  • Flash Bombs are highly effective against Rathalos, especially when it flies.
  • Utilize Wyvern Riding to make monsters inflict damage on each other, saving you time and effort.
  • Switch armor sets to match the elemental weaknesses of the current monster (Fire for Rathalos, Thunder for Zinogre, Water for Almudron).
  • Capturing monsters is crucial for completing this quest within the time limit.
  • Fast-travel to camps to change gear efficiently between monster encounters.
