Monster Hunter Rise has many different materials that players can gather from the biomes in order to create stronger weapons and armor sets. The game doesn't do the best job at explaining where specific items can be found, leaving many players confused as to where to look. However, by using this short guide, players can find out how to get Butterfly Beetles.
The first thing that players should know is that the Butterfly Beetle can't be found out on a monster hunt. This material can only be obtained via The Argosy in the Buddy Plaza.
How to Find the Argosy in Monster Hunter Rise
If players are facing Senri the mailman in the center of the main plaza of Kamura Village, they should turn right and head straight into the wooded area. This is where Rondine can be found, and she's in charge of The Argosy. Players can use the ship to send out their pet partners to hunt down certain materials, like Spider Webs or Herbs. However, with any item that players send their animals to find, there's a potential to receive bonus items that are typically rare.
How to Get Butterfly Beetle
Players should speak to Rondine and choose the Trade Requests option. From here, the game will make players choose a buddy to go on the quest. For the sake of getting Butterfly Beetles, it doesn't matter which pet players choose. Now, for the item selection, players will notice the bonus items in the bottom-right corner. These items will change as players scroll through the different item types. Items like the Blazenut or the Flamenut might reward players with Dobiscus or Springnight Carp.
However, to attempt to get a Butterfly Beetle or two in Monster Hunter Rise, players should scroll over to the second or third page. There are many items here that can give out these beetles as bonus rewards. Players can choose to get Honey, Godbugs, Flashbugs, Blue Mushrooms, and Toadstools, just to name a few. Players should just go with the item they need the most for their hunts. Once players confirm their choices, the pets will be set to explore for the chosen items, and they won't return until the player completes a few quests.
Players will know that the Argosy ships have returned by a notification that will pop up on the screen after quests. Go back to the Argosy and check out the items that the buddies have managed to find. If the player is lucky, then they should find the Butterfly Beetle in the group of items. If not, players can simply rinse and repeat until the item is eventually found.
Monster Hunter Rise is now available for the Nintendo Switch. A PC port is expected to launch in early 2022.
