Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t solely introduce new content through Title Updates and seasonal events. In the intervals, stronger adversaries like Arch-Tempered Rey Dau have been introduced, along with some entertaining cosmetics. Among these is the Sealed Dragon Cloth armor, a long, dramatic scarf making a return from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Here’s everything you need to know about crafting this anime-inspired scarf and how to farm the limited-time event quest it’s linked to when it makes its comeback. As of now, crafting this armor is not possible, so remember to bookmark this page for when the “Running Wild” event quest becomes available again.
How to Forge Sealed Dragon Cloth
I initially thought that crafting this headpiece would require Sinister Cloth, similar to the Sealed Eyepatch introduced during the Blossomdance Festival. Fortunately, there’s no need to gather that elusive material this time. Nearly all necessary items can be obtained from the “Running Wild” event quest, including a material exclusive to it. Here are the materials needed to forge the Sealed Dragon Cloth armor:
- Tough Guardian Bone x5
- Guardian Fulgur Nosebone+ x3
- Guardian Blood+ x2
- Sealed Dragon Cloth x3
Outside of low-rank story hunts against Arkveld and Zoh Shia, Tough Guardian Bone can only be obtained from Guardian Seikrets or bone piles within Wyveria. The remaining three materials are conveniently obtainable from the Running Wild event quest. You can talk to Alma or access the Quest counter menu from your tent to embark on this quest whenever it’s active. New quests are added or rerun weekly, so it's wise to check periodically.
How to Farm Running Wild Event Quest
There’s some randomness involved in earning rewards after a hunt. You might need to repeat this Hunter Rank 21 quest a few times to acquire everything. Thankfully, it’s a manageable hunt if you’re prepared. Guardian Fulgur Anjanath is a Construct monster with the Thunder element. To avoid Thunderblight, it’s best to equip a build with high thunder resistance. Ice weapons are most effective, especially those that deal slicing damage.
Despite its aggression, dodging the physical attacks of this beast is relatively straightforward. Countering with an Offset Attack is also simple once you learn the patterns following certain animations. Navigating past the lightning is your primary challenge. Most of Guardian Fulgur Anjanath’s attacks are thunder-based when it’s charged. You can identify a charge when the wing-like appendages protrude from its back.
Adding to the difficulty, similar to Zoh Shia and other Guardian monsters, this creature can create Wylkrystals. Any attack with a glowing white mouth may spawn these. The danger lies in Guardian Fulgur Anjanath often following up with Thunder attacks that cause Wylkrystals to explode, dealing widespread Thunder-element damage. You can detonate the Wylkrystals with your element pods, but it’s advisable to dodge them instead.
Avoid all this by removing Guardian Fulgur Anjanath from its charged state. Destroy its wounds and continuously knock it down. Be sure to mount and utilize environmental or crafted traps to weaken the monster for easier damage. Without its charge state, Thunder attacks, Wylkrystals, or pesky wound regeneration are no longer concerns. The battle becomes significantly easier with such a powerless opponent. Remember, though, it will consume Wyvern Milk and regain its charge upon moving to a new location.
If you only need the Sealed Dragon Cloth for crafting the identically named armor, capturing your opponent is an excellent way to conclude this hunt early. The quest-exclusive material is awarded for completing the hunt rather than slaying the monster. I’ve found that the time it spends drinking Wyvern Milk is perfect for hitting it with Tranq items and setting up your crafted trap.
The Running Wild event quest originally ran from May 20th to June 3rd. It’s expected to return in the future, albeit likely with limited availability. You won’t be able to acquire the Sealed Dragon Cloth material by any other means, so seize the opportunity while you have the chance!
