Overview

• Players can unlock Mizutsune by reaching Hunter Rank 21 and completing the 'Spirit in the Moonlight' mission, initiated by speaking to Kanya at the Scarlet Forest Base Camp.
• Mizutsune's combat mechanics include aggressive moves such as tail spins, lunges, and bubbles that inflict Waterblight and Bubbleblight, with weaknesses to Ice, Dragon, and Electric elements.
• Defeating Mizutsune unlocks it for regular hunting and provides materials for crafting Alpha and Beta armor sets, as well as Palico gear.
• A Tempered version of Mizutsune, offering a greater challenge, becomes available at Hunter Rank 41 and is located in the Ruins of Wyveria.
• The update has been well-received by players, marking a significant step in Capcom's effort to expand content and address concerns after the game's troubled February 2025 launch.
