Monster Hunter Rise: How to Get Big Fin (& What It’s Used For)

Big Fin is a crafting material that can be used to upgrade weapons and craft armor and buddy equipment in Monster Hunter Rise. As such, you’ll no doubt need to farm Big Fins at some point in order to get the gear you want to take on tougher monsters. Here’s how to get Big Fin in Monster Hunter Rise, and what it’s used for.

How to Get Big Fin in Monster Hunter Rise

Big Fins are a carve you can get from Delex, which can be found in the Sandy Plains.

Specifically, you want to go to areas 9 and 10 in the Sandy Plains, right in the north of this map’s upper level. If you fast travel to subcamp 2 here, it’s a short walk to areas 9 and 10.

In these areas, you’ll find groups of Delex, a piscine wyvern that are extremely sensitive to sound. Once you’ve beaten a Delex, you can use the ‘carve’ option to get a chance of getting a Big Fin.

The drop rate for a Monster Hunter Rise Big Fin from Delex is 40, so there’s a good chance you should get one. Only Monster Guts (45) have a higher drop rate from carves on Delex, so you should get lucky.
