Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak [DLC] - 100% Achievement Guide

DLC "Sunbreak" required - NO missable achievements - NO multiplayer achievements

This Guide is about Sunbreak

Since Iceborne doubled the achievements for Monster Hunter World, and can be considered somewhat of a standalone expansion in many regards, I decided to write a separate guide for the DLC achievements exclusively.

For a guide on the base game, click:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for the base game:
All the achievements are tied directly to the ingame guild card awards. As such, ALL the achievements for this game NEED to be earned on the SAME ingame character in order to unlock the required award associated to:

Picture	Achievement	Description
	Hero's Accolade	The mark of a great hero, who has acquired a large number of awards.

Complete all Master Rank Quests once

Image	Achievement	Description
	Royal Request for Cooperation	Awarded for collaboration with Elgado Outpost. An official request for Kamura's hunter.
	Long-Distance Binoculars	Awarded to staunch investigators. Binoculars giving a clear view of far-off targets.
	Survey Cape	Awarded for hunting the Garangolm. Protects the wearer from the harshest environments.
	Azure Feather Fountain Pen	Awarded for hunting the Lunagaron. A fountain pen with a blue feather gifted by Fiorayne.
	Majestic Desk Banner	Awarded for slaying Malzeno. A desk flag proving the owner's distinguished service.
	Royal Declaration of Gratitude	For hunters who contributed greatly to the Kingdom's peace. An official thank-you letter.

These achievements will be unlocked upon completing certain main story quests.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Record of Utmost Valor - Master	A souvenir from the Guild for completing many Master Rank quests.
	Record of Utmost Valor - Arena	A souvenir from the Guild for completing even more Arena quests.
	Painting - Foreign Threads	Awarded for completing many Follower Quests. To mark deep village-Outpost ties.
	Painting - Seicho's Place	Proof of having completed many Support Surveys. Soar away into a clear blue sky.
	Painting - Crimson Nightmare	Awarded for completing numerous Anomaly Quests. A depiction of the dreadful Qurio.

Well, complete all quests which were added with the launch of Sunbreak.
"Anomaly Quests" will be unlocked upon hitting MR10.
The last quests will only be available, if you're at least MR100.

If a quest contains any of the monsters from the title updates, it is NOT required for the achievements above. If you're not sure which monsters this refers to, check the title update chapter near the end of this guide.

While you clear your way through all the follower quests, you'll also unlock:

Image	Achievement	Description
	Cups of Friendship	Awarded for deepening bonds with many Followers. Sharing this cup fosters friendship.

Complete Master Rank Quests x Times

Image	Achievement	Description
	Sea-Blue Amulet	Awarded for completing 50 quests in the Jungle. A talisman to protect you on your travels.
	Copal Brooch	Awarded for completing 50 quests in the Citadel. A charm praying for your good health.

Self-explanatory.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Anomaly Hunt Silver Trophy	Awarded for slaying your first afflicted monster.
	Anomaly Hunt Gold Trophy	Awarded for slaying 100 afflicted monsters.

Afflicted monsters can only be encountered in "Anomaly Quests", which are only available starting from MR10.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Hunter's Bronze Shield	Awarded for hunting 100 large master rank monsters.
	Hunter's Silver Shield	Awarded for hunting 500 large master rank monsters.
	Hunter's Gold Shield	Awarded for hunting 1000 large master rank monsters.

It should come naturally, but make sure to hunt every monster at least 10x, as that's required for the "Solid Padlock" achievement further below.
Also note, that you'll have to complete several hundred Anomaly Investigations, so you want to do the majority of your hunts in those quests.

I don't usually recommend this, but honestly, once you've completed all quests and unlocked all other achievements, just install a damage-modifier mod from NexusMods.com or somewhere else and go one-shot monsters in solo quests for a few hours...
Just make sure to remove the mod afterwards, so that you won't crash the game with the next update or accidentally take it into multiplayer later on - which you absolutely should NOT do.

This is the most stupid, time wasting achievement in this game.
There's no "achievement" in hunting a few hundred Arzuros or bird wyverns or sth. to get the missing hunts in a somewhat quick way.
The Iceborne DLC for MH:World only asked for 100... And Sunbreak definitely isn't 10x more engaging than Iceborne.

Captured monsters count for this achievement. But there's no way to check your progress on this one. The counter for completed Master Rank quests is your best bet, but it's gonna be off, because of multi-target quests.

Thanks to LongJohn for providing this video for a rather efficient way to do this requirement legitimately:

Endemic Life

Image	Achievement	Description
	Great Wirebug Medal	Awarded for discovering a lot of Great Wirebug launch points in the Jungle and the Citadel.

Same as for the base game. Great Wirebugs are given to you by Fran the Stalwart in the Market district of Elgado. Half of them for free, half of them for the photographing request of both Daimyo's claws and Gorongalm's arms.

Remember to check for the white markers on your map and that some can only be activated midair - if that's the case, it'll be illustrated on the mini-map, while you're right next to the starting point, as shown ->
Those NEED to be interacted with.
The spot shown on the right also requires a big barrel bomb to be accessed.
The citadel has 2 Great Wirebug spots, which can only be accessed through some hidden tunnels. Both of them are close to relic records, so check the video for those in the collect stuff section below.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Jewelgrass Planter	Awarded to those who rode various monsters with the power of Morphed Wirebugs.

Sunbreak added 2 new Wirebugs, which you need to use once each to unlock this achievement.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Natural Picture Frame	A smart frame awarded for photographing many creatures in the Citadel and Jungle.

Sunbreak introduced 2 new rare pets. Gamer Guru uploaded 2 videos on how to obtain them:

Beyond those two, Kess posted some locations of the remaining creatures in the comments:

• Endemic Life	Jungle	Citadel
  Gold Wirebug	Area 3	Area 2-3
  Ruby Wirebug	Area 2	Area 10
  Marionettte Spider	Area 11	Area 12
  Starburst Bug	Area 11	Area 3-4
  Slicecrab	Area 8
  Spearsquid	Area 3-10
  Thornytoad		Area 13

Palamute / Palico

Image	Achievement	Description
	Flaky Canyne Pie	Awarded for teaching your Canyne lots of techniques. A tasty treat for hard-working Canynes.

As for the base game; complete the new village request, which rewards Palamute equipment.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Napping Felyne & Canyne	Awarded to avid instructors at the Buddy Dojo. Toys of a cuddling Felyne and Canyne.

As suggested by TAS in the comments:

All you need to do is get all buddy dojo upgrades. That includes:
5 secret Palico support skill,
Swap support move (lv5/10/15),
Buddy skill lesson

Image	Achievement	Description
	Polychrome Acorn	Awarded for having lots of Buddies with outstanding Skill Memory. A cute and colorful painted acorn.

Use the new Eurekacorns to unlock all memory skills for a number of Palicos.
Make sure to loot the new Cohoot nest in Elgado after completing each 5th quest and constantly have your Meowcenaries on Master Rank gathering quests, in order to get these Eurekacorns comfortably. You can also rarely get these as rewards from the "optional sidequests".

As has been posted by Kess in the comments:

You need a total of 10 buddies with maxed out skill-memory slots, both Palicos and Palamutes count towards this.
(Personally had 9-1 respectively, so as long as you have a sum of 10 you'll get the achievement)

Image	Achievement	Description
	Sojourn Necklace	Awarded for trading with Letters of Introduction. A necklace that ended up with your Buddy.

Approach Nagi the Buddy Agent in the market district of Elgado and select 3 buddies to trade/request stuff at the Argosy. Enable the new "backroom deals" for all three and just wait until you've obtained 50 items with those red backgrounds.
Make sure to grab the loot once in a while, or you won't be able to get new items.

Collect / Unlock / Craft Stuff

Image	Achievement	Description
	Immaculate Boomark	Awarded for discovering a lot of Old Messages in the Jungle and Citadel. An unspoiled antique.

Same as the base game.
If you need help finding them, refer to these videos by Gamer Guru:

Image	Achievement	Description
	Familiar Construction Kit	Awarded for unlocking a lot of camps in the Jungle and Citadel. An easy-to-deploy camping kit.
	Buddy Whistle	Awarded to those who have found a lot of Recon destinations. A simple flute with far-reaching tones.

If you still struggle to find any of these locations, refer to this video guide by Arekkz Gaming:

Image	Achievement	Description

Well, complete all quests & village requests, which reward new dangos.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Transcender's Red Sash	Awarded for obtaining even more Switch Skills. Its refinement exceeds human capability.

Obtaining the new switch skills is easier this time around.
You'll obtain your first set of switch skills pretty much immediately after arriving at Elgado.
You'll obtain the remaining switch skills after reaching MR4.

A user by the current name of :D also added this in the comments:

Obtaining the Transcendent's Red Sash also requires having the Master's Black Belt, it will not unlock from receiving the Master Rank Switch Skills if the Black Belt isn't unlocked yet. In this case unlocking the Black Belt will immediately unlock the Red Sash as well.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Great Helmet	Awarded for forging even more valuable weapons and armor. A pretty great winged helmet.
	Gorgeous Helm	Awarded for forging even more valuable layered armor. A helm with golden hollows and blue wings.

Craft any 5x rarity 10 weapons/armor pieces, as well as 5x rarity 10 layered armor pieces.
For the normal equipment, you need "Afflicted" materials, the layered armor pieces will require "Outfit Voucher+". Both of these can only be obtained by completing "Anomaly Quests", which are only available after you've finished the DLC's main story.

Image	Achievement	Description
	Unbreakable Bag	A whole bag awarded for obtaining samples of items from all over the place. Wow!

Confirmed by Logloxan in the comments:

Unbreakable Bag is getting 20 items from Pingarh, the Sailor.

Pingarh, located at the Docks of Elgado, only has a gift for you, if the boxes next to him show any of the three special goods:

• 

Image	Achievement	Description
	Solid Padlock	Awarded for collecting even more trinkets and wall hangings. Won't budge, no matter what.

'Gargolda Statue' unlocks in lottery only once you have 'met' the creature in the wild (I assume the actual trigger is that it shows up in the endemic life hunter notes).

**More lottery rewards have been added with the title updates. They are most likely not required for the achievement though.

Miscellaneous

Image	Achievement	Description
	Snowy Cohoot Mini-Pouch	Awarded for befriending a fledgling Snowy Cohoot from Elgado. Looks tiny, but has a big appetite.

Apart from the returning Cohoot nest, which you can plunder for loot, there's also a new, white baby cohoot in Elgado.
Keep feeding it inbetween each quest and you'll unlock this achievement after 15-20 quests.

• 

Image	Achievement	Description
	Secret Honey Jar	Awarded to dango connoisseurs for using many Hopping Skewers. Add honey to sweeten things up!

Just got the Secret Honey Jar achievement and had to use Hopping Skewers 20 times for it to unlock

Image	Achievement	Description

@Vinuura_ Why did a ridiculously useful non cheat achievement mod only came out only a week ago?

[Vinuura_]

I found this mod that tracks some of the achievements. It's pretty useful if you want to see how many monsters are left for the Hunter's Gold Shield achievement.

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterrise/mods/3169

[Vinuura_]

Wow, the crown hunting in this game is a walk in the park compared to World, thank goodness.

[Boltreaver Astalos]

best well written guide i‘ve ever seen. thanks mate

[HolyFortesque]

to get all the trinkets in the lottery, you had to kill 189 Zinogres in the Arena)

[HolyFortesque]

I would add how to get lottery tickets so that there is a better chance of hitting the jackpot.
After the lottery, I bought 91 pieces of any thing. There is a chance to get 3 tickets or a healing powder or a trap. But most of the time nothing happens. Good luck

[Brachragon]

@clown_from_hell - Thanks! Added the condition to the guide

[clown_from_hell]

'Gargolda Statue' unlocks in lottery only once you have 'met' the creature in the wild (I assume the actual trigger is that it shows up in the endemic life hunter notes).

Confirmed recently on 350+ hrs save on PS5 - I was going through a checklist for missing achievements and noticed that it is the only 'trinket' I'm missing, despite lottery consistently showing in the shop, it never included this statue as the reward. Once I unlocked the achievement fot Sunbreak endemic life, it immediately popped up as the lottery reward.

[Brachragon]

@RUN - Open your map during a quest on these maps. There's an icon for their positions; white if the spot hasn't been assigned a wirebug, orange if it has. The "endemic life" chapter above shows a position in the jungle, where you have to activate a great wirebug mid-air.

[Loser Core]

Is there a full guide for the great wirebugs in both Citadel and Jungle?

Can't seem to find any since you didn't provide anything in the collect section.
