What is Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - Awegite and how to get it?

Sunbreak, the highly anticipated new expansion for Monster Hunter Rise, is finally out on both Nintendo Switch and PC on June 30 for gamers around the world.

Monster Hunter games have always been about tracking down and ultimately killing gigantic and clumsy monsters across lush and varied locations, either alone or with up to three players. In these hunts, the choice of weapons and armor of the players is very important, it determines their playstyle and how effective they will be at hunting monsters.

All weapons, decorations, and armor sets in Monster Hunter Rise can be crafted and then upgraded by players using certain resources they can find and collect in-game. Although these resources are plentiful, they can often be difficult to find. Here we take a look at the rare resource Awegite, what it is and how players can find, collect and potentially use it in-game.

Farming Awegite in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and its uses

What Is Awegite in Sunbreak?

According to Awegite's in-game description in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, these resources are:

"An attractive ore of luminosity. Its patterns change according to the mood of the observer."

Awegite is classified as an Ore in the game with a rarity of 8 and a selling price of 1200 Zenny.

How to find and farm Awegite in Sunbreak

Awegite can only be found on the Master Rank maps that Sunbreak introduced to the series. Like Monster Hunter World and its expansion Iceborne, Sunbreak's Master Rank includes harder and worse versions of the return and new monsters that players can hunt for better rewards.

At Master Rank, monsters returning from the base game display slightly modified attack patterns and sometimes even expanded combo chains. They are also much more aggressive and do more damage.

Therefore, it is imperative that players are well prepared with the appropriate weapons and gear before dealing with Master Rank maps.

Awegite can only be found in the Master Rank map of Shrine Ruins in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Players can collect Awegite from various blue and white mineral deposits scattered around the map.

The most notable areas of the Master Rank Shrine Ruins map where Awegite can be found are:

Area 1: Near the bamboo ridge, north of the large opening.

Area 5: Mining ledge on the left side of the clearing, past the Torii gate near the top of the hill.

Area 5: Inside of a small cave to the west of the mountain pass.

Area 5: Near the valley surrounded by the small Torii gates.

Area 13: Bamboo growth near the southeast edge of the waterfall.

Where to use Awegite in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak?

Awegite is used as a forging material to craft and upgrade various weapon and armor pieces in the game. It should be noted that Awegite is usually required to craft Master Rank Kamura Weapons. These weapons are fairly easy to craft and are excellent weapons for early Master Rank battles.

We hope this guide will help players find and farm Awegite in-game so they can craft the weapons and armor of their choice and embark on countless hunting adventures in Sunbreak.
