As you may know, crafting is also a vital part of Monster Hunter Stories 3, but it isn’t as grindy as the systems we’ve seen in the mainline series. Still, those wanting to get a new armor, upgrade a weapon, or whip up a meal that gives the whole party some buffs will need to unlock as many recipes as possible. While some of these recipes are unlocked just by progressing through the story or looting a monster part, others require a different approach. For that reason, we’ve made a list of all recipes and their locations in Monster Hunter Stories 3.

Staff Writer for Monster Hunter HQ. Started his MH journey with World and quickly got addicted to it. He has spent more hours than he can count fighting Uth Duna, and will continue to do so until that gem drops. When not playing Monster Hunter, you'll find him in his favorite game ever: FFXIV or trying to add more mods to Project Zomboid.
