Kamura Hunter's Hub #14 - Event Quest Recap & Tokyo Game Show Approaches!
Hey Hunters,
Welcome to Kamura Hunter’s Hub #14!
A lot has happened since our last post, with the arrival of Title Update 1 and its expansive endgame content additions you’ve certainly been busy hunting!
From new monsters to Anomaly Investigations and Qurious Crafting, we hope you’ve been having a ton of fun taking on the new challenges and reaping the rewards to further upgrade your gear!
It’s been really cool seeing how the new armours introduced in Title Update 1 have been weaved into your existing sets too, those new armour skills seem to be going down well – we see you Status Trigger enjoyers! (to name just one!)
On that note of new content, let’s take a little look back at the first month of Event Quests and a look forward at what’s coming to Sunbreak in the near future…
An Eventful Month!
At the timing of this post, the first four weekly Sunbreak Event Quests are live and ready for you to take on! Just swing by Senri the Mailman in Kamura Village, or the Courier in Elgado Outpost to unlock these free quests!
Event Quests offer something a little different to existing quests, with new challenges and monster combinations, as well as sweet new rewards that include new poses, gestures and layered armour!
Let’s take a look at what’s available for you to play and unlock right now:
Event Quest 1 – “A Grand Gesture” - MR 1
We kicked things off after Title Update 1’s arrival with “A Grand Gesture”, tasking you to take down a Blood Orange Bishaten and Aknosom to unlock the “It’s Over!” gestures.
Things got furious in the second Event Quest as we introduced a new quest format, Dual Threat!
And what better way to ease you in than to throw you into an arena with two Furious Rajang who are very pleased to see you.
Hunters who best these beasts earn the right to wear the Qurio Crown, a new layered armour exclusive to this quest!
(Yes, you can change the colour of the whole crown to whatever your fashion desires!)
Event Quest 3 – “Flash of Inspiration” – MR 1
There was electric in the air for the third Event Quest, with Hunters facing off against an Astalos for the right to rock some Frontier fashion with the Lien layered armour set!
Wear the full set, or mix and match as you please!
Event Quest 4 – “Minor Inconveniences” – MR 1
The latest Event Quest presents you with some “Minor Inconveniences” in the form of Garangolm and Aurora Somnacanth, who stand between you and the Delightful Post Set!
Talk about a frosty reception!
The Delightful Pose Set, guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Event Quests – More on the way!
We hope you’ve been enjoying what the first batch of Event Quests have offered you! Naturally, this is just the start and there’s plenty more on the way each week, so make sure to say hi to Senri and the Courier on a regular basis.
Sunbreak comes to Tokyo Game Show!
Join us on Thursday, September 15th at 23:00 JST / 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST / 07:00 PDT for the TGS2022 Capcom Online Program!

We’ll be broadcasting the event live across our social media channels, including the official Monster Hunter Twitch Account.
Sunbreak Director Suzuki Update
Talking of Title Update 2, Director Suzuki stopped by recently with a sneak peek at some more quality-of-life additions coming as part of the update…
Hey everyone! Starting this week, we will be sharing details regarding the content of the upcoming Free Title Update 2. As part of this update, the number of shortcut loadouts will be increased to eight.
Also, you will be able to lock your armour, thereby preventing it from accidentally being sold or used in crafting.
- Suzuki, Sunbreak Director

Hey Hunters,
Just dropping you a message to let you know that Event Quests have returned and will be going live again on a weekly basis starting today!
For those of you unfamiliar with Event Quests, fear not, we’ve got you covered. Event Quests are optional free Quests that are added to the game on a regular, weekly basis. The base version of Monster Hunter Rise has loads of these already that offer a range of challenges with cool rewards such as stickers and layered gear. There’s even collaboration Event Quests with the likes of Street Fighter, Okami, Sonic the Hedgehog and more!
All Event Quests, both historical and new, can be grabbed from either Senri the Mailman in Kamura Village, or the Courier at Elgado Outpost!
Sunbreak Event Quests
As mentioned, starting today Event Quests are back! Every Thursday (or Wednesday if you’re in North America, for example) you’ll be able to take on a new Event Quest to earn useful and, in some cases, unique rewards!
With Event Quests we seek to provide something a little different to existing quests, with new challenges and monster combinations to put your Master Rank hunting skills to the test, like the “Dual Threat” quests that were mentioned in the August Digital Event – so we hope you have a lot of fun with them!
This Week’s Quest – “A Grand Gesture”
To get things started we’re starting with “A Grand Gesture”, literally!
In this quest you’ll be tasked with hunting both a Blood Orange Bishaten and an Aknosom in the Shrine Ruins!
This one’s open too all Hunters MR1 or higher, so as long as you’ve arrived in Elgado you’ll be good to go!
Hunters that complete this quest will get themselves a special gesture too, “It’s Over!”.
An Eventful Time Ahead
That wraps up our quick post on Event Quests!
This is just the start of Sunbreak’s Master Rank Event Quests, so get ready for some sweet new challenges and even sweeter rewards over the coming weeks…
See you in the hunt!

Title Update 1 Digital Event – New Content Overview!
Hey Hunters,
Today we presented our latest Sunbreak Digital Event, hosted by Monster Hunter Series Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and Sunbreak Game Director Yoshitake Suzuki, that delved into the exciting new endgame content coming as part of the free Title Update 1!
The best bit? Title Update 1 will be available on Steam from August 10th! That’s right, you’ll be able to dive into all this new content from tomorrow (or right now if you’re reading this after the date)!
For those that didn’t catch the Digital Event live, we thought we’d share an overview of what was discussed, as well as the new update trailer. If you’d like to watch the Digital Event in full, which sits at a little over 15 minutes, we’ll share a link at the end of the post.
Now, let’s get stuck in with the new trailer:
Title Update 1 – Content Overview
As you can see, there’s lots of new content coming to Sunbreak, from new monsters and gear to the expansion of the endgame with more Anomaly Quests, the new Anomaly Investigation feature and Qurious crafting!
We’ll be touching on those below to give you an idea of what you can expect, so grab your dango and get comfy…
New Monsters and Locale
That’s right, we’ve got four new monsters for you to hunt as part of Title Update 1!
Many of you will be aware of Lucent Nargacuga and Seething Bazelguese, but they’re also joined by Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos, who are more than ready to turn up the heat!
Lucent Nargacuga & the Forlorn Arena
Lucent Nargacuga is a Rare Species of Nargacuga that was last seen in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate back in 2013!
This Flying Wyvern has the ability to use its bright white fur to refract moonlight, allowing it to become invisible. Think Chameleos, but much more agile! We suggest keeping a lookout for the red glow of Lucent Nargacuga’s eyes…
Oh and watchout for this monster’s vicious poison attacks too!
You’ll be taking on Lucent Nargacuga in its home territory, the Forlorn Arena, a returning locale that’s been carefully recreated to preserve and further enhance the foreboding and mysterious ambience of this area…
Seething Bazelguese
Seething Bazelguese is a Variant of Bazelguese with a twist, its explosive scales are constantly active, making it much more dangerous than its base version.
Not only that, but it can go into an even more powerful state where it literally seethes with rage where it’ll shower the area with critically volatile scales.
Keep on moving and keep a Wirebug handy, just in case!
Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos
Two more Rare Species have arrived in the form of Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos!
They can go into a powerful Incandescent state where they’ll attack with even more ferocity, raining blue fire down on all that dare challenge them.
The team have also given them both some new moves for Sunbreak, so if you thought you knew them from hunting them in Iceborne, a whole new challenge awaits you!
New Monsters, New Gear!
That’s right, all these new monster additions bring with them new armour and weapons for you to craft and wield in the hunt! All of the armour sets that you can forge from materials of the monsters added in Title Update 1 also come with new skills as well, so we hope you have fun trying them out!
Get a closer look at a couple of the sets below:
Embrace the moonlight with Lucent Nargacuga’s gear!
Become truly incandescent with Golden Rathian’s gear!
Expanded Anomaly Quests
Starting with Title Update 1, the afflicted monster gameplay endgame is greatly expanding!
Hunters will be able to take on A5⭐ Anomaly Quests, bringing with them new afflicted monsters to face:
A5⭐ monsters are unlocked through a new mechanic called Anomaly Investigations. That’s right, Investigations are back! Let’s delve into the details of how this quest system works in Sunbreak…
Anomaly Investigations
The biggest new addition to Title Update 1 are Anomaly Investigations. Whilst there are some similarities between Investigations in Iceborne, there’s some exciting changes that we’ll go through now.
All Anomaly Investigations have a set level. As the levels increase, the monsters will become gradually stronger and the rewards you can earn will change!
The quest conditions, such as the target monster, locale and maximum player count are all decided at random too!
Successfully completing these investigations will open new upgrade options for your weapons and armour, so these quests are well worth exploring!
About those weapon and armour upgrades, it’s time to introduce…
Qurious Crafting – Weapons & Armour Upgrades
The materials you earn from the new Anomaly Investigations can be used to add newly introduced upgrades to your equipment, yep that includes both weapons and armour!
Weapons
Let’s take a look at weapon’s first:
With Qurious Weapon crafting you can select the kinds of upgrades you want to best suit your preferred playstyle!
Using Malzeno’s Greatsword as an example, you’ll be able to upgrade your preferred stats:
Attack Power
Affinity
Elemental Power
Sharpness
Rampage Deco Slots
There is a limit though, so choose carefully!
If you’d like to focus on one or two upgrades in particular, you can choose to further increase their level and effectiveness at the cost of more slots being used up.
This opens up a lot of new options for your weapons, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Armour
As mentioned, you’ll also be able to further upgrade your favourite armour sets and pieces!
Armour can be upgraded with random improvements including defence, resistance and even skill points! If you don’t like a proposed upgrade, you can choose to ignore it if you want, so you still have control on what gets applied!
Bahari’s Open for Business and Beyond
Bahari the Scientist has opened his Anomaly Research Lab!
The Anomaly Research Lab allows you to exchange the items you’ve gained from Anomaly Investigations for items that are useful in Qurious Crafting, so it’ll be well worth your time paying Bahari a visit!
We’re pleased to share that the quest ranks, as well as the monsters that appear for Anomaly Quests, as well as the level cap for Anomaly Investigations will continue to expand and grow with each new Title Update, so get ready Hunters!
Event Quests Return!
You read that correctly, Event Quests return from August 18th! This means new Event Quests every week, with a variety of fun conditions and challenges for you to enjoy.
No monkeying around here!
As part of Sunbreak’s Event Quests we’ll be introducing extra challenging quests called “Dual Threats”. In Dual Threat quests you’ll have to hunt two monsters at the same time, such as Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos.
Can you take down the ultimate power couple?
Event Quest Rewards
Of course, with new Event Quests comes sweet new rewards for you to earn!
We’ve grabbed an example of just one of the many upcoming rewards below:
Well, some do say that fashion game is the true endgame!
Join The Hunt
If you liked what you say in today’s post and are yet to start your Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak adventure, you can currently pick up the base version of Monster Hunter Rise at a 49% discount until August 16th!
Upon completing the 7* Gathering Hub Quest “Serpent Goddess of Thunder” you’ll be ready to upgrade to the Sunbreak massive expansion content, including what we detailed today!
Quest Complete – Enjoy Title Update 1!
That wraps up today’s Digital Event and Title Update 1 Recap post!
