Monster Hunter Rise King Rhino: Ultimate Guide

This guide explains in depth the locations of King Rhino item in Monster Hunter Rise along with its use to complete the Economic Stimulation Quest.

Key Highlights
  • King Rhino is a crucial item in Monster Hunter Rise for the Economic Stimulation Quest, but it’s challenging and time-consuming to find.
  • In the Flooded Forest map, there are five King Rhino extraction spots, but only one is needed for the quest.
  • Rock Roses (Desert Roses) are gatherable items in the Sandy Plains. They respawn every five minutes, but the Raisin D’etre Dango item speeds up respawn by 40%.
  • There are five Desert Roses locations in Sandy Plains, recognizable by their appearance.
  • Bismuth Prisms are even more challenging to obtain than King Rhino and require a Hunter Rank of Six to access the Lava Caverns biome.

In Monster Hunter Rise, you can find King Rhino in the Flooded Forest map. To locate it, follow these steps:

  1. Open the map for the Flooded Forest.
  2. Navigate to the special items category.
  3. Look for “Shining Rhino” in the list and click on it to view its locations on the map.

There are five different spots on the Flooded Forest map where you can extract King Rhino. While you only need one for economic stimulation, collecting more can yield additional rewards. Keep in mind that rare or ranked items may require patience and multiple attempts to obtain.

King Rhino Locations

Here are the locations of King Rhino:

  1. First Location: South side of the main camp. Use the Great Wirebug to climb the cliff. Go left for a shortcut to Area 13. Climb a pyramid-like building to find the King Rhino (Shining Rhino) behind a pillar.
  2. Second Location: Fast-travel to Sub camp 1. Use wirebugs to reach the cliff above Sub Camp 1. Look carefully in the trees to find the King Rhino (Shining Rhino).
  3. Third Location: Fast-travel back to the main camp. Ride your Palamute southeast to the big pyramid. Scale halfway with a great wirebug. Use wallruns and wirebugs to reach the top. Blow up a wall and find the King Rhino (Shining Rhino) to the right.
  4. Fourth Location: Exit the room from the third location and go around the backside of the pyramid (east side). Slide down the mountain and search trees in the area to find the King Rhino (Shining Rhino).
  5. Fifth Location: Head to Area 7. Go to the northeast cliff using Palamute and wirebug or two wirebugs. Jump towards the waterfall cliff. Go northeast to the highest cliff in Area 7 using wirebugs. Search the trees for the King Rhino (Shining Rhino) item.

These locations should help you find the King Rhino in Monster Hunter Rise

Rock Roses 

For this item, you will have to access the Sandy Plains. They come in the Gathering Items category, and according to the game mechanics, all the gathering items respawn after five minutes.

In case you are in a rush and cannot wait for five minutes to collect the item, then use Raisin D’etre Dango. It is an item that you can consume to decrease the respawn duration by 40%. So, by consuming Raisin D’etre Dango, you will have to wait for three minutes only.

So, before you start the quest, you will need to acquire this item from a tea shop. Open your map and navigate the special items until you find Desert Rose on it. Click on it so you can see the locations on the map where you can find them. Now head over to any location you want to go and find the Red Rose.

You can recognize a Red Rose when you come across it by its unique look. It looks like several rocks mashed and cluttered together into a big irregular rock. Once you pick the required Red Roses, your Economic Stimulation quest will be 80% done.

Like King Rhino had five locations in Monster Hunter Rise, this item also has a total of five locations. However, compared to King Rhino, getting Red Rose items is easier in Monster Hunter Rise.

  1. Location 1: Left side of the main camp, through an opening.
  2. Location 2: Fast travel to Sub camp 1. Climb the building behind the camp using the great wirebug to find the Red Rose (Desert Rose). Use a wirebug mid-flight to avoid going to the lower level.
  3. Location 3: Travel from Area 10 to Area 12 to find the Red Rose (Desert Rose). Use your Palamute to cover the distance quickly.
  4. Location 4: Fast-travel to Sub-Camp 2, and you’ll find the Red Rose (Desert Rose) nearby.
  5. Location 5: After obtaining the Red Rose from location 4, look for a large hole in the ground nearby. Jump into it and go to the lower level to discover the last Red Rose (Desert Rose) on Sandy Plains.

Bismuth Prisms

Now comes the harder part; acquiring Bismuth Prisms in Monster Hunter Rise is even more difficult than acquiring King Rhino. One of the reasons is that you need to have a Hunter Rank Six so you can unlock the Lava Caverns and the biome.

You can see a mark on the map representing Lava Caverns. However, the location is not accessible to everyone. You need to complete Hunter Rank Six quests first to unlock this site. Once you unlock it, simply go for an expedition tour and grab the Bismuth Prisms.

We recommend you take a tour of Lava Caverns during the daytime and open your map again to see the items’ exact location. On your map, scroll in the special items and select the Iridescent Ores.

There are a total of five places where you can get the Iridescent Ores in Monster Hunter Rise, just like King Rhino.

Lava Caverns Lower Side

Location 1: Fast travel to Sub Camp 2. Upon reaching there, go to the north side, and there you will see the first Iridescent Ore.

Location 2: Go back to Sub Camp 2. Then move towards the south side of it, where you will find the broken stone bridge. Under the bridge, you will find your second Iridescent Ore.

Location 3: After getting your second Iridescent Ore, head to the lower layer, where you will see a stone pillar. On top of it, you will find the third Iridescent Ore.

Location 4: Fast travel to Sub Camp 1 so you can get the fourth Iridescent which is just on the south side.

Location 5: You will have to go to the lower level once more, then go to Area 13. You will find your last Iridescent there.

The Economic Stimulation Quest

Now that you have collected King Rhino along with other items in Monster Hunter Rise open the menu and click on “Complete the Quest” so your expedition tour can come to an end. To end the quest, you will need to return to the village and go to the Argosy.

After that, you need to go to the Buddy Plaza, where you will speak to a trader named Rondine. Once you start the conversation with her, she will ask you to give all the materials required in the quest. Once you deliver all these items, you will get the third submarine as a reward.

The additional submarine will let you gain more free items passively through the Argosy. That is like farming items for free, and without any effort, so we suggest doing the Economic Stimulation Quest is worth it.

That is all from our side, use the locations which are near you to collect King Rhino and others and once you get them, reward yourself with a submarine. Remember that you might fail to reach some of these locations on the first try; keep trying because this quest is worth the grind.
