Finding a good Quality Stomach can be very tough in Monster Hunter Rise, particularly because the monsters that drop such an item are way too easy to ignore, and if you ever happen to kill one, you probably won’t be carving the corpse, because they just seem so useless. Well the joke is on you, and me, and all of us, because in MHR you’ll find that High Rank top-level weapons will often requires materials harvested from either the most basic of gathering nodes, or the most humble looking of monsters....
