Zoh Shia’s Back! Here’s How to Re-Hunt It!

by

The long-awaited initial title update for Monster Hunter Wilds has been released, introducing an assortment of new and returning elements that enrich the overall experience. This update includes a sprawling new gathering center, skillful Palico Chefs, and some of the toughest monsters ever encountered in Wilds. There’s something enticing for every player in this latest iteration. Although Zoh Shia steals the spotlight due to its breathtaking battle spectacle and distinctive equipment, entering a hunt with it isn’t as straightforward as other monsters.

As a dedicated Monster Hunter fan, I must say that siege-style battles are no stranger to the franchise, with games like Monster Hunter World featuring epic showdowns against colossal beasts such as Zorah Magdaros, Kulve Taroth, and Safi’jiiva. Unlike other monsters, like the enigmatic Mizutsune and its tempered form, you can’t just casually accept a quest or stumble upon Zoh Shia roaming freely in any of the Wilds’ natural habitats. These encounters might lead to frustration if you’re after a specific monster part or yearn for another battle with your favorite beast. However, the Wilds provides more dependable methods for re-encountering rare monsters, making it easier to track down these elusive creatures and prepare for the challenge ahead.

Zoh Shia Can Only Be Encountered During Limited Events

The Hardest Part Of Fighting Zoh Shia Is Often Getting Into The Hunt Itself

After finishing the title update quests for Zoh Shia in Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s no direct way to hunt it again right away to collect materials for its armor and weapons. Instead of taking on an optional quest, Zoh Shia behaves like Jin Dahaad from Wilds, showing up sporadically at irregular times as a suitable quest. To expedite the process, you can quickly rest at any Ruins of Wyveria camp and adjust the weather to Inclemency; however, it may still take some time before you encounter one again.

The most efficient way to consistently farm Zoh Shia at the moment is by utilizing public SOS calls found at the base of Alma’s quest list. This approach offers advantages such as the option to select Investigations, which come with extra rewards and skilled team members. However, you’ll need to be swift in your search, as I had to refresh multiple times just to find a quest that wasn’t filled up instantly.

Preparation Is Key To Fighting Zoh Shia

Going In Without The Right Equipment Is A Surefire Way To Cart

To tackle a Zoh Shia quest, especially one requiring exceptionally scarce resources, it’s crucial to gear up for the tough battle that lies ahead. Although you might have sailed through most challenges in Monster Hunter Wilds so far, Zoh Shia presents a formidable obstacle in the post-game content, second only to Gore Magala and Arkveld in terms of difficulty. To ensure maximum rewards from your quest, it’s essential to reinforce your armor first.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, enhancing your survivability against Zoh Shia can be achieved by eating meals with added benefits, carrying various stat-enhancing potions such as Mega Armorskin and Mega Demondrug, or even donning armor and gems that provide defensive boosts. If you’re self-assured in your hunting skills, you can amass more resources either solo or with a companion, as your Palico can gather extra materials if you’ve completed the relevant optional quests. Given the upcoming challenges and new features, it’s advisable to develop a habit of thorough preparation before embarking on tough missions within Monster Hunter Wilds.
