Monster Hunter Rise features a special collaboration event quest that allows players to celebrate the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. This unique crossover brings high-speed ring collecting directly into the world of Kamura Village, offering an entertaining detour from standard monster hunting. Understanding how to access the mission and efficiently complete its objectives ensures you can claim all the exclusive cosmetics available.
Accessing the Sonic Collaboration Event Quest
To begin the Sonic collaboration quest, players need to visit Senri the Mailman in Kamura Village to download all available event content. After claiming the quest data, head over to Minoto at the Gathering Hub to select the event quest named Gotta Hoard 'Em Fast. This quest takes place in the Shrine Ruins map and focuses primarily on gathering rather than slaying giant beasts.
Objective Breakdown and Speedrun Tips
The main goal in Gotta Hoard 'Em Fast is to collect 200 rings scattered across the map within the time limit. Utilizing your Palamute or Wirebugs efficiently will significantly reduce the time spent traveling between ring locations. Collecting rings while classic Sonic music plays in the background creates an immersive experience, especially if you optimize your route through high-density ring paths.
Unlocking Sonic layered Armor and Buddy Gear
Completing the event quest rewards players with special materials needed to craft exclusive collaboration gear. You can forge the Sonic Wear layered armor set for your hunter, giving them a themed streetwear appearance. Additionally, you can craft Canyne Tails gear for your Palamute and a full Sonic costume for your Palico that transforms their animations.
Triggers for Super Sonic Transformation and Bonus Items
If you manage to gather rings quickly and fulfill specific hidden criteria during the quest, your Palico can transform into Super Sonic using Chaos Emeralds. Gathering all necessary materials may require repeating the event quest a few times depending on your crafting needs. Beyond armor sets, players can also earn figurine collectibles to decorate their personal room in Kamura Village.
