Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a huge RPG with a roadmap of updates that will roll out as the year goes on. The first free title update introduces the Palamute as a Monstie that players can add to their party. The Palamute is a faithful companion that was introduced to the series with Monster Hunter Rise. In Monster Hunter Stories 2, Palamutes are just as versatile and useful. This guide will help players get Palamute Tickets in Monster Hunter Stories 2, so they can hatch these capable Monsties themselves.
Many players will want to adopt a Palamute simply because they've quickly become a fan-favorite creature in the Monster Hunter franchise. In actuality, recruiting several Palamutes is a very practical decision. There are Palamute varieties for each elemental attribute, and they have the potential for raw power to boot. To befriend a Palamute, the method is very similar to how players would find other eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2.
How to Get Palamute Ticket in Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
Palamute eggs are only obtainable in co-op expedition quests. This means that players must first have progressed to the point in the story at which expedition quests are unlocked, and they must purchase the necessary Expedition Ticket from the Melynx Inc. NPC.
The ticket needed to initiate the (Explore) Palamute Den quest is different from a standard Expedition Ticket. Players must make sure to purchase one of the Palamute Ticket items, which comes in multiple tiers of rarity. The different variations of Palamute Tickets and their costs are:
- Palamute Ticket (N) - 8 Bottle Caps
- Palamute Ticket (R) - 50 Bottle Caps
- Palamute Ticket (SR) - 100 Bottle Caps
Which ticket is used will affect the frequency of finding Palamute Eggs and the odds of those eggs yielding rare genes. Higher tier tickets are expensive, so players may need to go out of their way to farm for Bottle Caps.
While progressing through the story, players may notice that the Melynx Inc. vendor only carries a certain number of Expedition Tickets and Palamute Tickets. His stock will expand slightly as more progress is made. While it may seem that players will only get a finite number of chances to get a Palamute Egg, there's nothing to worry about. After completing the full length of Monster Hunter Stories 2, the ability to get as many tickets as desired will be unlocked.
Many Monster Hunter fans will surely be eager to progress far enough in the story to get a Palamute of their own. In higher ranks of expeditions, reaching the end of a den and overcoming the monsters that protect each is a difficult task. Players may need to level up fast in Monster Hunter Stories 2 before getting the best possible Monsties.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is now available for the Nintendo Switch and PC.
