Now that Monster Hunter Rise is on PC and the Nintendo Switch, there are lots of new players jumping into Kamura Village for the first time. In order for hunters to craft some specific armor sets and weapons, they'll need to get their hands on a crafting material called Quality Stomach. In this Monster Hunter Rise guide, readers will learn which monsters drop Quality Stomach, and where to find them. However, before players get ahead of themselves, they should know that Quality Stomach is only available in High Rank. Players need to make their way through the Gathering Hub quests or Village Quests to get access to High Rank.

How to Get Quality Stomach

Monster Hunter Rise players can only obtain Quality Stomach by finding small creatures called Altaroth. Altaroth are small insects that can be found in all five known habitats in Monster Hunter Rise: Shrine Ruins, Frost Islands, Sandy Plains, Flooded Forest, and Lava Caverns. If players are doing a High-Rank quest or expedition, they can get Quality Stomach by carving a defeated Altaroth or by collecting its dropped materials. There's a 55% chance of getting a Quality Stomach via Carving and a 55% chance via dropped materials.

Where to Find Altaroth

As far as where to go to find Altaroth's in Monster Hunter Rise, players should go on an expedition by speaking to Minoto at the Hub Quest Counter. Choose Hub Quests: High Rank and then go down to Expedition Tour. In this menu, players will have the option to visit all five of the biomes. If players press the R button while checking out the expedition info, they will be able to see more information on the locale and can find out if there are any Outbreaks.

Outbreaks mean that that particular monster will appear in the area, so players should head to the location that has an outbreak of Altaroth. Outbreaks change often, so players will need to check the info before heading out.

Scour the biomes until Altaroth can be found. They typically travel in groups and resemble large ants. Since these are just basic insects, they can usually be taken down in a single hit with any decent weapon. If players aren't getting any Quality Stomachs fast, they can always leave the expedition tour and then try to defeat/carve some Altaroth again.
