Capcom has officially granted "weekend authorization" for Monster Hunter Wilds players to take on one of the game's most formidable challenges. The Arch-tempered Rey Dau Free Challenge Quest is now available, with hunters encouraged to pursue the prestigious A-rank achievement.
Weekend Challenge: Conquer the Arch-tempered Rey Dau
On May 9, 2025, the official Monster Hunter Wilds team announced a special weekend event through their social channels. "Weekend authorization granted! ☕ Good luck to all hunters looking to secure their 'A' rank in the Arch-tempered Rey Dau Free Challenge Quest, you've got this!" reads the encouraging message from Capcom.
The Arch-tempered variant of Rey Dau presents a significant step up in difficulty from its standard counterpart, requiring hunters to bring their best equipment and sharpest skills to the battlefield. Achieving an A-rank in this challenge is no small feat and likely comes with exclusive rewards for those who can master the encounter.
What Makes This Challenge Special?
Arch-tempered monsters have been a staple of the Monster Hunter franchise, representing the ultimate test of a hunter's abilities. These powered-up variants feature enhanced attack patterns, increased health pools, and devastating new moves that can quickly end an unprepared hunter's quest.
The Rey Dau, known for its agile movements and powerful elemental attacks, becomes particularly threatening in its Arch-tempered form. Veterans of Monster Hunter Wilds will need to utilize every tool at their disposal, from environmental traps to specialized loadouts, if they hope to achieve the coveted A-rank.
Community Response and Preparation
The announcement has already sparked excitement within the hunting community, with players sharing strategies and equipment builds designed specifically for this challenge. The timing of the announcement – just before the weekend – gives hunters ample opportunity to gather their hunting parties and prepare for multiple attempts at conquering this formidable foe.
For newer players looking to join the hunt, this presents an excellent opportunity to team up with veteran hunters and learn advanced techniques while working toward high-rank rewards. The Free Challenge Quest format means there's no penalty for failure, encouraging hunters to experiment with different approaches until they find success.
