All 11 Hidden Armor Sets and how to get them in Monster Hunter Wilds

Besides the standard monster armor, Monster Hunter Wilds has a few hidden sets that won’t be as easy to find. It’ll require a bit of RNG, but with time, you’ll complete the entire collection. Here’s how to unlock all 11 Hidden Armor Sets in MH Wilds.

How to unlock Hidden Armor Sets in MH Wilds

For starters, you must reach the endgame phase of Monster Hunter Wilds, which occurs sometime during Chapter 4. Your primary focus should be to unlock the Farm system (Material Retrieval) to access the Special Item for the Secret Armor Set. Each region, including Oilwell Basin, Windward Plains, and Scarlet Forest, has their own Farm, so you’ll need to complete their distinct side quest first to access it. If you need help with these missions, check out our guide on unlocking all Material Retrievals.

Once you return to Wyveria, you should have access to all the Farms, allowing you to collect items of high rarity. Nata will be your one-stop shop for Material Retrievals, so check on him at Base Camp to see what everyone offers. You must also use Item Trades, another handy way to acquire valuables. All you need is one Special Item from the Item Trade or Material Retrieval to unlock the Hidden Armor Set recipe. For example, if you get a Great Hibiscus from the Farm or Material Retrieval, you’ll automatically receive its Hidden Armor Set in the Smithy.

All Hidden Armor Set items and how to find them in MH Wilds

You can get lucky and find resources quickly with Material Retrieval, or you’ll have to make a trade for them. Let’s go over what Special Items you need to unlock for its secret equipment:

The Commission α is the easiest Hidden Armor Set to acquire, as it doesn’t involve any RNG. During the endgame, Santiago will come over to Windward Plains every few days, letting you claim specific goods. Ensure that the resources are set to Miscellaneous, and he should bring back the Commission Ticket soon after. You can then go to the Smithy to see a new recipe for the Commission α.

The rest of the sets are much more challenging, as they’ll require a lot of luck. Item Trades and Material Retrievals change daily, so you’ll need to check back and wait for a Special Item to appear. Even the resources for the trade exchange can be tricky since they, themselves, are rare to get (you’ll have to mine and scavenge a lot in the wilds). Sometimes, they mandate Ancient Wyvern Coins, a rare currency used in trades. It’ll take up a lot of your time to complete the entire MH Wilds’ Hidden Armor Set collection, but it’ll certainly be worth it with their elite buffs.
