Gogmazios Returns in Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 4
Slumbering beneath the great forge of Azuz, the awakening of the titanic Gogmazios threatens widespread destruction for the inhabitants of the Forbidden Lands. To tackle a monster of this scale, groups of up to four Hunters and four Support Hunters are being tasked to form parties of eight capable of slaying this fearsome foe. The permanent Event Quest for Gogmazios can be repeated to acquire materials which can be used to upgrade rarity 8 Artian Weapons into Gogma Artian Weapons. Bonuses from the original Artian Weapon will be carried over to the Gogma Artian Weapon, and one random Set Bonus Skill and one random Group Skill will be granted. The Gogma Reinforce feature allows Hunters to keep or reset the bonuses to activate even more powerful bonuses and re-roll the Set Bonus Skill and Group Skill by using special material. Hunters with Hunter Rank 100 or above will also gain the “Transcendence” ability at the forge to increase the maximum level of their high rank armour and even enhance the decoration slots for rarity 5 and 6 pieces.
Hunting for a Challenge
Gogmazios isn’t the only change coming to the Forbidden Lands in Title Update 4, with Arch-tempered Jin Dahaad arriving on December 24 as a permanent Event Quest that rewards Hunters with materials for a powerful Gamma armour set. New Optional Quests also arrive in the update; brave Hunters can test their skills against multiple 9★ monsters to earn special Nameplate rewards. New Hunting Exercises (optional quests) offer a great way to practice fighting against tempered 9★ monsters. In addition to the skilled Nadia joining as a Support Hunter for the Gogmazios quest and seasonal events, other Units on the Expedition into the Forbidden Lands are also looking to lend a hand. The Great Sword wielding Griffin and Light Bowgun specialist Nightmist join the ranks of selectable Support Hunters in Title Update 4.
The Road Beyond Title Update 4
Additionally, Free Character and Palico Edit Voucher will be made available for all players alongside the return of four fan-favourite poses as free DLC, Cosmetic DLC Pack 4 featuring Layered Weapon designs for each weapon type, and other paid DLC items in Title Update 4.
Starting December 19, the Festival of Accord: Lumenhymn arrives with festive décor and meals at the Grand Hub, alongside the ability to earn special equipment, gestures, and decorations.
In January 2026 Monster Hunter Wilds will receive a Steam-specific stability patch, designed to offer additional optimization options, pre-sets, and improvements on top of the stability and optimization updates arriving to all platforms in Title Update 4. Additional details on the stability and performance updates coming to the Steam version can be found on the Monster Hunter Wilds website and Monster Hunter social accounts.
In February 2026 Arch-tempered Arkveld swoops into the Forbidden Lands as the final Arch-tempered monster in Ver. 1.041. This update will also include the release of the winning community designs from the Original Weapon and Pendant Design contests. Hunters can celebrate the March 13 release of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection with a Palico armour modelled after the protagonist’s Palico Rudy and a special pendant. The update will also introduce a new Latin American Spanish voice option to the game, on top of additional stability updates for the Steam version of Monster Hunter Wilds. Stay tuned for an update on what to expect from Ver. 1.041 prior to its release in February next year.
