Below is a comprehensive walkthrough for each step in the Ultimate Strength side mission of Monster Hunter Wilds:

(Informal and friendly, using contractions)
Hey up! To give the MH Wilds SF6 collaboration quest “Ultimate Strength” a go, you’ll wanna be at an HR (Hunter Rank) of 21 or more. Once ya’ve updated to version 1.011, you can join in on this fun quest. It’s got multiple stages, just like the Alma Glasses quest, and sometimes the locations aren’t that obvious. Here’s a simple guide for every action needed in the Ultimate Strength side mission of Monster Hunter Wilds:

  • Talk to Quinn in the Oilwell Basin (marked on the map) – The NPC is marked on the map with a yellow indicator after updating the game.
  • Investigate the upper stratum – For this, you need to go to Area 5 in the Oilwell Basin and look for the Tempered Rathian carcass.
  • Investigate the lower stratum – For this, you need to go to Area 11 in the Oilwell Basin and look for the Tempered Gypceros carcass.
  • Optional: Listen to the people of Azuz – You can skip this step if you want as it isn’t needed, but you can complete it by talking to the NPCs marked on the map in camp.
  • Talk to Maki in Azuz – Once you have investigated carcasses in the upper stratum and lower stratum, you need to talk to Maki in the Oilwell Basin. Maki is marked on the map.
  • Search the lowest part of the Subterranean – For this, you need to find Akuma in the Oilwell Basin. To find him, you need to go to the fork in between Area 18 and Area 14. He is in the small passage (right part of the fork as shown in the image below). He will give you an Arena Quest.
  • Complete the Arena Quest – To accept this quest, you need to go to the Grand Hub and accept it from the Arena Quest counter. The quest is a Tempered Ajarakan. You will be using Akuma’s armor for this and can pick one of a few weapons with preset gear. The quest isn’t hard and it mostly serves as a tutorial for using the new Akuma armor actions. You can practice these on the barrel in the Wounded Hollow arena before jumping down to actually take on the monster. I recommend using these new actions as it makes the fight a lot more fun and easier. As you punch and use the new Akuma attacks, you will build up your Drive Gauge. You can then use a Drive Impact on a wound with the appropriate action by holding L2 and pressing the relevant button depending on your controller or keyboard. The game gives you a lot of tutorials in this quest so paying attention to them is more than enough. Note: The first time you do this quest for the Side Mission, it is solo only. After that, you can do it with a friend (up to 2 players in total).
  • Talk to Akuma in the Oilwell Basin – Once you’ve completed the Arena Quest, you will earn a SF6 Ticket which is used to craft the Akuma Armor and Blanka-Chan Palico Armor.









































































































How to get SF6 Tickets in Monster Hunter Wilds

Once you’ve finished the mission for Ultimate Strength, as outlined earlier, you have an opportunity to participate in two additional quests: True Strength (for up to two players) and Demonic Strength (a solo endeavor). By successfully completing these arenas, you can collect SF6 Tickets as a reward.

Monster Hunter Wilds Akuma alpha armor

To craft this armor set, you should first finish the Ultimate Strength Side Mission, followed by several runs in the Arena Quest. Once you’ve earned enough SF6 Tickets, the armor will become available. Unlike other sets, this one can’t be crafted piece by piece. Instead, you’ll require these components to create it:

  • SF6 Ticket x 5
  • Ajarakan Scale+ x 3
  • Ajarakan Jewel+ x 1

In this Monster Hunter: World armor set, the abilities at Heroic Level 3, Partbreaker Level 3, and Evade Window Level 2 are included.




Monster Hunter Wilds Blanka-Chan alpha Palico armor

First, make sure you’ve finished the Ultimate Strength Side Mission. Then, engage in the Arena Quest several times until you accumulate enough SF6 Tickets. This Palico gear set can be crafted with these materials:

[Materials List] (for both parts)

(Note: The materials list is not provided in this example)

To clarify, you need to complete the Ultimate Strength Side Mission and the Arena Quest multiple times to unlock SF6 Tickets. Once you have the required materials listed above, you can forge both parts of the Palico set simultaneously.

  • SF6 Ticket x 2
  • Ajarakan Scale+ x 2
