How to Unlock Weapon Trees

Obtain the Weapon's Key Material

Sunbreak | How to Unlock Weapon Trees | Monster Hunter Rise|Game8 (4)

There are several unknown weapons at the beginning of Monster Hunter games, with Rise locking them behind question marks. To unlock them, you have to obtain key materials which are the core to creating and upgrading weapons. Key materials are generally monster parts, but some weapons require gathering items like the Speartuna or Pawprint Stamp.

Hunt Monsters to Unlock Weapon Trees

Most weapons are unlocked by getting materials from the desired monster after hunting them. For example, hunting a Magnamalo for its materials unlocks Magnamalo weapons, and hunting its High Rank version unlocks the HIgh Rank upgrades. Some weapon upgrades may require materials from other monsters, so progressing through the game is needed.
