Craving that Grim Reaper Vibe? Unlocking Death Stench Layered Armor in Monster Hunter
You want to look like death, right? The “just rolled out of a monster’s crypt” vibe? You’re after the Death Stench layered armor. Don’t try to hide it. Hunting monsters in Monster Hunter World or waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds, this style makes a statement. It says, “I hunt monsters and dress like one too.”
Don’t worry! Unlocking this transmog isn’t rocket science. It needs some monster hunting skill, though. Let’s break down how to snag this creepy outfit. Embrace your inner harbinger of doom with style.
Monster Hunter World: Reeking of Style in the Old World
First, visit Monster Hunter World. If you’re stuck in Low Rank gear and can’t find the Death Stench layered armor, hang on a second. Key here is progression. You can’t just ask to look like you crawled out of a grave. The game expects you to earn it.
High Rank is Your Runway
To craft Death Stench layered armor, you must progress through the main story to reach High Rank. Think of Low Rank as the tutorial phase. High Rank is when the game takes off the training wheels. You need to reach High Rank. That is half the battle.
Crafting the High Rank Death Stench Armor: The Gateway to Layered Glory
Once you’ve reached High Rank, your next mission is to craft the High Rank version of the Death Stench armor set. Yes, the actual armor, not the layered version just yet. This is your blueprint. Go to the Smithy and check the crafting menu. If you have basic materials, it should be available.
Behold! Layered Armor Unlocked! (Almost)
Good news! Crafting the High Rank Death Stench armor set unlocks its layered armor version. Boom! It’s a two-for-one deal. You get the actual armor for stats and unlock the stylish layered armor piece. But wait! We’re still not ready to walk the monster-infested catwalk yet.
Sinister Cloth: The Fabric of Nightmares (and Layered Armor)
To craft the Death Stench layered armor, you’ll need a peculiar material: Sinister Cloth. Sounds ominous, right? Getting it involves less battling monsters. It’s more about trading plants. Yes, you heard right. Forget slaying Elder Dragons for now; we’re bartering for fabric instead.
You obtain Sinister Cloth by trading Great Windward Aloe with a quirky character named Kilama. Kilama is one of the Lynian Researchers. Find Kilama, gather Great Windward Aloe (found near water), and trade away. Keep trading until you have enough Sinister Cloth.
Gathering the Rest: A Material Medley
Sinister Cloth isn’t your only ingredient for this recipe. You’ll need other materials too:
- Wingdrake Hides+: Acquire these from High Rank Wingdrakes. Go hunt them.
- Quality Bones: Find High Rank Bonepiles.
- Herbivore Carapaces: Collect from docile herbivores in High Rank.
- Colossal Bones: Again, more High Rank bonepiles.
Gather these bits, combine them with Sinister Cloth, and voilà! Death Stench layered armor is yours. You’ll be the most stylishly spooky hunter in the New World.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Whispers of Death Stench in a New Land?
Now, let’s glance into the future of Monster Hunter Wilds. Details are still emerging like monsters from cracks, but we can guess based on past games.
High Rank – Still the VIP Pass
Reaching High Rank will likely be the gateway to Death Stench armor in Wilds. Monster Hunter loves progression systems. High Rank is essential for advanced gear, including layered armor.
Crafting Death Stench Armor: Déjà Vu?
Expect a similar process as World: reach High Rank, then craft the regular Death Stench armor. This will unlock the layered version. Classic progression!
Sinister Cloth and Ancient Wyvern Coins: A New Currency for Spooky Style?
This might change things. The brief hints that getting Sinister Cloth might involve Ancient Wyvern Coins. It mentions needing “a lot of Ancient Wyvern Coins (50 in total!)” for five cloths. This hints at a trading system.
Ancient Wyvern Coins in previous games were rewards from Arena or event quests. In Wilds, you might participate in specific activities to get these coins and trade for Sinister Cloth. Fifty coins for five cloths sounds like a grind, but fashion isn’t easy in monster hunting.
General Layered Armor Wisdom: Chapter 4 and Beyond
Across both World and presumably Wilds, the rule of thumb for layered armor is reaching a certain narrative point. “Chapter 4” marks this milestone. Chapter numbers differ, but core ideas stay: progress through the story, hit High Rank (or its equivalent), and crafting High Rank armor opens doors to layered fashion. The game rewards your ability to hunt big monsters.
So, whether you rock Death Stench in Monster Hunter World or wait for it in Monster Hunter Wilds, remember key ingredients: High Rank progression, crafting base armor, and gathering or trading for Sinister Cloth. Now go forth, hunter! Cloak yourself in stylish gloom from Death Stench. Just try not to smell like death warmed over. That’s too immersive for Monster Hunter.
