How to get Armorcharm and Powercharm in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armorcharm and Powercharm are powerful items you’ll want to track down in Monster Hunter Wilds.
By simply having them in your item pouch, Armorcharm raises your defense by 12, and Powercharm raises your attack by 6 — and since they unlock in sequence, it’s makes sense to get both.
Our Monster Hunter Wilds guide will tell you how to get the Armorcharm and Powercharm and how to use them.
How to get Armorcharm in Monster Hunter Wilds
To get the Armorcharm in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need to complete “Secure Wounded Hollow” quest. You get this quest from Cobb in Suja, Peaks of Accord, in High Rank, and as part of it, you’ll head into the High Rank area of Wounded Hollow. In that region’s arena, you’ll have to take on a pair of Hirabami.
To complete the quest, there’s a mechanical wall that runs across the middle. There are four activation levers, one at either end on either side of the wall, that you can activate by hand or with your hook slinger. If you time it carefully, this wall will let you take on only one of the Hirabami at a time.
It won’t stay up long enough for you to kill one of them, but it’ll let you get some solid damage in without being harassed. After a short reset, you can trigger the wall again.
Once it’s completed, you’ll need to talk to Cobb again to get the Armorcharm. You’ll only see a brief message about it on the right side of your screen, then it just kind of disappears in your item box.
When you’re done, head over to Rex to get another quest, “As Gatekeeper,” that you’ll need for…
How to get Powercharm in Monster Hunter Wilds
To get the Powercharm in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need to complete optional quest “As Gatekeeper.” You will unlock this quest from completing “Secure Wounded Hollow”, which you’ll need to source an Armorcharm from as described above.
You’ll get “As Gatekeeper” from Rex, who is wearing the same armor as Cobb, in Wounded Hollow, which sees you head back into the Wounded Hollow arena to take on a pair of Ajarakan.
For the fight, don’t forget about the mechanical wall you can use to separate the two Ajarakans, just like you did with the Hirabami. When you’re done, talk to Rex again to get the Powercharm.
How to use the Armorcharm and Powercharm
When you get them as rewards, both the Armorcharm and the Powercharm will get dropped into your item box. For them to help you, though, you’ll need to move them to your item pouch.
You don’t actually use the Armorcharm or Powercharm as items, as you get the benefits just by having them in your item pouch. They’ll take up a slot, but they do not get added to your item bar.
Needless to say, there’s only one Armorcharm and one Powercharm in the game — so once you have secured them from the above quests, you’ll have all there is to find in Monster Hunter Wilds. They’re not a repeatable drop!
