Hone Your Heavy Bowgun – Monster Hunter Rise

Our next quest in Monster Hunter Rise is the 5-Star Hub Quest, Hone Your Heavy Bowgun. We’re off to the Arena to hunt a Basarios and a Volvidon. You’ll find the location of them both highlighted on the map so they’ll be no issue to track down.

Alright, Ace, lesson time! Strategically strike from a distance like the Volvidon, or get up close and personal like a Basarios. Add their fighting styles to the long-range, high-powered heavy bowgun, and you should learn something new.

Basarios

Basarios is a Flying Wyvern Class Monster found in the Sandy Plains and Lava Caverns. It is weak to Dragon, Thunder, Water, Fire, and Ice elemental damage.

Basarios will start off as a tough fight, until you can start to break bits of its armor and create some weakpoints. You’ll likely find your weapons bouncing for the start of this fight. Try to target the chest, once you break here your future attacks to the area will no longer bounce and life will become easier. You can also speed along the process by using barrel bombs, and baiting its charge attacks into detonating them.

Carves, Drops, and Rewards for slaying a High-Rank Basarios can include; Basarios Carapace, Basarios Pleura +, Basarios Tear, Basarios Tail, Toxin Sac, Inferno Sac, Carbalite Ore, Wyvern Gem, Basarios Wing, Wyvern Tear, and Large Wyvern Tear.
