You may recognize some beasts, such as Astalos (who can forget the flying green thunder monster?) and it may even be a harder fight than Zinogre. So here's everything to know about Astalos' weaknesses, resistances, and drops in MHR Sunbreak.

There's multiple ways to get monster parts, but it all heavily revolves around a percentage system, which is ultimately RNG. You may get a rare material or none at all.
- There are multiple ways of gaining items:
- You can normally carve three times once the monster is dead, but this can change with skills and the type of monster
- All chopped appendages of said monster can be carved usually once
