Monster Hunter Rise Meaty Hide: Farming & Location

One of the things that make Monster Rise so engaging is that it haves the players look for and collect materials needed to craft different weapons and armor. The Meaty Hide is among the necessary materials which you will need for crafting. In fact, it is one of the most sought-after ones mainly because of its need to craft almost every piece of armor and weapon.

The good news is that finding it is fairly simple but does not mistake “simple” for easy. With that said, let us dive deeper into our Monster Hunter Rise Meaty Hide guide to show you the best locations and methods to farm the Meaty Hide. 

How To Farm Meaty Hide?

First things first, the only way you are going to obtain a Meaty Hide is by killing and carving Zamite in Monster Hunter Rise. They have about a 38% chance of them giving you Meaty Hide per carve. Needless to say, you will be opening up a lot of Zamite’s bellies to zap them off their Meaty Hides.

Fortunately, these Zamites are less of a monster and more of a nuisance, so you will be able to dispatch them relatively easily. Another thing to keep in mind is that in order to get the Meaty Hide, you need to be explicitly on a low-rank quest, as carving Zamites on a higher-level quest will start giving you Meaty Hides+.

Bonus Tips For Meaty Hide Farming

Here are some bonus tips to speed up your Meaty Hide farming process:

1. Wait for Zamites to Get Thick: When low-level or smaller Zamites attach themselves to you and drain your health, don’t kill them immediately. Instead, wait for them to become thick. Once they are thick, defeat them to increase your chances of obtaining Meaty Hide. Thick Zamites provide two carving opportunities, doubling your chances of getting the hide.
2. Complete the “Hot Topic Hooligans” Quest: Initiate the level 1 hub quest called “Hot Topic Hooligans,” which requires you to defeat 20 Zamites. Completing this quest marks the locations of Zamites on the map, making it easier to spot and hunt them.

But now the question is, where do you find the Zamites? The next portion of our Meaty Hide guide answers exactly that and allows you to get more of it in Monster Hunter Rise.

Meaty Hide Location 

You can obtain Meaty Hide from Zamites, which are small fish-like creatures found in the Frost Islands. Here’s how you can find and farm Meaty Hide efficiently:

1. Unlock Frost Islands: You can access the Frost Islands once you have unlocked 2-star quests on the village quest board.

   

2. Optimal Farming Route:
   • Ensure that you have unlocked the Sub-camps in Areas 6 and 8.
   • Start by slaying Zamites in Area 4.
   • Travel to the sub-camp in Area 8 and eliminate Zamites there.
   • Fast travel to the sub-camp in Area 11 and hunt the Zamites.
   • Repeat this route until your inventory reaches the maximum capacity of 99 Meaty Hides.
3. Fighting Zamites:

   

   • Zamites are relatively easy to defeat and don’t pose much of a threat.
   • Be cautious of their ice-based attack, which can inflict iceblight if it hits you. Dodge this attack to avoid the status effect.
   • Zamites may latch onto your character to drain your health. If your health is low, it’s best to remove them quickly.

Uses Of Meaty Hides 

Now that you have collected the Meaty Hide, it is about time we take a look at what they are actually used for. As you may have guessed already, the Meaty Hides are in crafting (primary armor along with a few weapons and a bunch of buddy equipment).

Let us start with armors, and the Meaty Hides are needed to craft Barioth Vambraces, Lagombi Mailo, Edel Roots, Goss Harag Mail, Makluva Hood, Makluva Pants, and Edel Creeper S. As for the weapons, you need Meaty Hide to craft the Kamura Iron Axe V in Monster Hunter Rise. You will also need it to upgrade the Crystalline Flower II and Razor Spear.

That about wraps up our Monster Hunter Rise Meaty Hide guide, and if you have made it to the bottom, then you are all ready to take on the dangers of Elgard with your newly crafted armor and weapons.

So strap up, slay those monsters, and happy hunting. If you found this helpful, then you will also be interested in our Monster Hunter Rise Fucium Ore.
