How to get Golden Muck in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Golden Muck is a material that, while initially available in Monster Hunter Rise, has had renewed prominence in Sunbreak due to its uses in several upgrades. An uncommon material that only drops occasionally from monsters, Golden Muck can be hard to farm without a guide. Here’s how to get Golden Muck in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

Where to find Golden Muck in MHR Sunbreak

Golden Muck is a Low-Rank material from the Monster Almudron. Unfortunately, if you’re playing Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, you may be missing out on this material, as there’s not a tremendous amount of opportunity for it to drop outside of Low-Rank hunts of the Almudron. 

Golden Muck has a 22% chance to be a target-hunted reward, 13% chance for two to drop from a captured reward, and 30% chance to be carved from the Monster upon slaying. This means that you’ll likely get one or two Golden Muck’s per Almudron you hunt. Almudron can also occasionally drop Golden Muck while you’re fighting it.
