How to Get the Guardian Armor Set in Monster Hunter World

Getting to the end of the base game in Monster Hunter World can be quite the journey, especially if you’re trying to wrap things up so that you can jump right into Iceborne.

Luckily, the Guardian Armor Set will really help you out and you can get it right now.

The high-rank armor features skills that boost your maximum health, increase healing effects, and reduce damage, which are sure to keep you from carting as you hunt your way through the story.

Here are more specifics on the active skills if you’re interested:

  • Recovery Up, Lv. 3: Increases the amount of healing effects by 30%.

  • Health Boost, Lv. 3: Increases maximum player health by 50.
  • Divine Blessing, Lv. 3: Gives you a chance to decrease damage taken by 50%.

And here’s how to actually get the Armor Set in-game:

  1. For Players Creating New Characters

    1. Start a new game and continue until you reach the “Create Your Hunter” character creation screen.

    2. At the character creation screen, open the “Default Armor” option and select “Guardian α+”.

  2. For Players with Existing Characters

    1. Make sure you have progressed far enough in the game to have your first assignment in Astera.

    2. Go to your room and talk to the Housekeeper.

    3. Select “Claim Add-On & Bonuses”, then “Armor Set: Guardian”.

    4. When prompted, select “Yes” to retrieve the content.
