Monster Hunter Rise has amiibo compatibility. On this page, you will find details on how the amiibo works with the game, as well as information on unlockings.
What Amiibo works with Monster Hunter Rise
Since Monster Hunter Rise has amiibo functionality, you can scan and read any amiibo. There are also three Monster Hunter Rise amiibo that are:
- Magnamalo amiibo
- Palamute amiibo
- Palico amiibo
The type of amiibo you check results in different rewards and unlockings.
Where to buy Monster Hunter Amiibo
The three Monster Hunter Rise amiibo are currently exclusive to GameStop in the U.S. and sell out quickly. You can try to order them on Amazon Japan, whose price difference is minimal even with shipping, however, they will not be shipped until June. IGN Offers Tweets whenever they are in stock at GameStop.
Amiibo Rewards and Unlocks
There are two types of rewards and unlocks that you can obtain with amiibo in Monster Hunter Rise.
You can enter the amiibo lottery. You can scan any amiibo to enter this lottery every day. However, there is a limit to this and you can only scan amiibo three times a day for this. You will receive useful (but not exclusive) items, such as traps, bombs, etc.
The three exclusive Monster Hunter Rise amiibo will also unlock special bonuses. These are all Sinister Seal Cosmetics inspired by Magnamalo and differs depending on the amiibo you scan. Remember that these armor sets are layered – they have no statistics and must be used on top of normal armor to change only their appearance.
- For the Magnamalo amiibo, you will receive a set of layered Armor of sinister seal for your hunter.
- For the Palamute amiibo, you will receive a Sinister Seal Layer Armor cosmetic for your Palamute.
- For the Palico amiibo, you will receive a Sinister Seal Layer Armor cosmetic for your Stage.
How to use Amiibo
To use the amiibo, you need to speak to Kagero the Merchant in the market. Here, you can select Read amiibo to start using them.
Once your amiibo has been successfully read, you will have the option to enter the amiibo lottery or claim bonuses.
The amiibo lottery is similar to the regular market lottery that you can enter when there is an in-game sale.
How to equip layered armor
Now that you have claimed your bonus, equip layered armor for your hunter in the item box. Layered Armor for your Palico and Palamute can be equipped on the Buddy Board.
