Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak continues the franchise’s passion for interesting and unique monsters.
Every game and expansion takes this incredibly deep pool of monsters and makes it a little deeper, and Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is no exception.
While those with long-time Barioth levels will no doubt have guessed the structure of the Sunbreak expansion, it will no doubt be a little daunting for newer players, especially when the difficulty curve starts to really ramp up.
And with the addition of two new mission types, you might be wondering how and how they matter, and this is where this Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak walkthrough and guide comes into play.
Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Launch Trailer
Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Walkthrough
Sunbreak follows in the footsteps of Monster Hunter World’s Iceborne expansion, something that helped simplify the franchise’s story structure, making it much easier for new players to jump in and follow.
Beating the Sunbreak DLC is the easiest Monster Hunter questline yet. It’s all tied to the ‘Key Missions’ in the higher level Master Rank (MR) missions and any urgent missions you’re asked to investigate as you progress.
Like the base game, Rise, your key quests are shown by a red diamond to the left of the quest name when you talk to the quest taker. In Sunbreak, it can be Minoto in Gathering Hub or the new character Chichae in Elgado.
This simple design makes MRI scanning faster and easier than ever. When trying to advance to the next rank, you can choose any key mission that still has a red diamond on the left and no mark on the right. This means you can choose the easy option and fight the weakest monster, or you can choose the one you think will give you the loot you need to level up your weapons and armor. The decision is all yours.
As always, it’s helpful to know what quests and their respective monsters are coming up. The more you progress, the more materials you’ll have available, and if you know your favorite monster is just one area away, you’ll know exactly when to take a story hour to start farming.
If you don’t prefer the format below, we also have a monster list dedicated to what’s in the expansion and when it’s unlocked.
Please note that you must have completed several missions in the base game to start Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, which then allows you to unlock Master Rank and the Sunbreak missions.
How to unlock MR1
In a nutshell, do the first mission of the Sunbreak DLC:
- Uninvited Guest: Hunt a Hermataur Daimyo
MR1 Story Missions
From here, you’ll need to complete a set number of key missions to unlock an urgent mission and level up. At this point, the easiest ones are:
- A Sinking Feeling: Kill a total of 15 Hermataur or Velocipray.
- Need a hunter ASAP! – Hunt a Kula-Ya-Ku
However, you can also do the following if you’re feeling brave:
- You Had Me at Poofy – Hunt a Real Ludroth
- Ruined Nap – Hunt 2 Arzuros
Tip: Do ‘A Sinking Feeling’ and then get the Velocipray armor if you like catching big monsters. The defense boost is great and the Capture Master skill gives you a “high chance to increase capture rewards”, and we all know that the chance to get extra rare items for basically nothing is great.
You’ll also have the option to craft the super-powerful Power Talon and Defense Talon items, so be sure to do so!
Do the urgent mission:
- Tetrandon Lockdown: Hunt a Tetrandon
Complete two more key quests (any of the following):
- It could be worse… – Hunt an Aknosom
- The Red Rolling Terror – Hunt a Volvidon
- Barroth is off to a great start: hunt down a Barroth
- [Redacted] – Hunt 2 large Wroggi
- BRRRR Plus ZZZzzz Is it the same? – Hunt a Lagombi and a Great Baggi
Do another urgent mission:
- Scarlet Tengu in the Shrine Ruins / Raid of the Scarlet Tengu – Hunt a Blood Orange Bishaten
Tip: It’s like the normal one, but with fire spitting and fire pine cones instead of fruit. Fun.
Congratulations, you just unlocked Master Rank 2! By doing so, you will also have unlocked the Follower Missions and Support Surveys.
While these aren’t necessary to progress through the game, they are a fun addition that really fleshes out the world of Elgado, and are recommended if you need to farm for items and don’t want to just replay the same old quests.

- The Queen’s Garden – Hunt a Rathian

- Bird Wyvern Jamboree: Hunt an Aknosom and a Kula-Ya-Ku

Learn how to start Sunbreak, the first expansion, and from there, how to unlock Master Rank, use Switch skill sharing, and advance with our Monster Hunter Sunbreak walkthrough. There’s also a list of monsters, as well as individual pages on how to beat Garangolm, Lunagaron, and Shogun Ceanataur. For the base game, we have several Monster Hunter Rise tips and lists of mineral locations, bone locations, weapon types, how to use Insect Glaives and Kinsects, details on how to join friends in multiplayer, how to capture monsters and learn about Wirebugs and great Wirebugs.
MR3 Story Missions
Do three key missions:
- Almudron Test – Hunt an Almudron
- My Ceanataur cries softly – Hunt a Shogun Ceanataur

Do the urgent mission:
- Keep him busy: hunt down an aurora somnacanthus
Like a normal MR Somnacanth, but it’s an ice-type variant. Instead of sleep breathing, use ice breathing. When you see him preparing for an AOE attack, run because he will ignite the freezing mist he exudes. Other than that, pack some Nulberries to get rid of the ice pest and quickly thaw your Silkbugs!

- Burn brighter than the sun: kill a Teostra
It’s time for an urgent search:
- Qurio Gathering – Hunt a Lunagaron
Tip: This one is a little creepy because there is no endemic life or little monsters. It’s simply an epic battle against Lunagaron. If you depend on spiribugs for your stamina, maybe bring some well-cooked fillets.
Once you have collected your items, an epic cutscene follows. You won’t want to miss it, so put on your headphones and enjoy.
You have now met Gaismagorm, the Archdemon of the Abyss. Kill him to reach HR6.
Do the urgent mission:
- Test of Courage / The Devil’s Reincarnation – Slay Gaismagorm
Well done, you have put an end to true evil. You also unlocked MR6, the Master Rank cap, and the end credits.
Congratulations!
