Amstrigians are bird-like creatures native to the Windward Plains inMonster Hunter Wilds, and for whatever reason, Gemma can make one in her forge for you to wear into battle. The Amstrigian Alpha helmet is more of a novelty item, though it does have some value as part of a practical build, assuming players are willing to trade damage for utility.
Getting an Amstrigian bird and having it perch on top of your head is a simple ordeal. It involvesone particularMH Wildsquestthat players should have no trouble completing. If you’re wondering how to get this helmet, here’s what you need to do.
How to Get the Amstrigian Helmet in MH Wilds
To get this novelty bird helmet, all players need to do iscomplete theWhen Do Quematrice Sing event quest. As the quest’s name implies, players will have to hunt a Quematrice here — it’ll only be the regular High Rank variant of the monster,not the Tempered version, so it should be smooth sailing.
The Quematrice is one of the easiest monsters to fight in the game, second only to the Chatacabra in terms of overall difficulty. Its attacks are simple and easy to avoid, and while its main weakness is Water, it will easily fold to any flavor of violence as long as you hit it enough times. The only thing you should keep an eye out for in this quest is the Rathian that will try to swoop in and fight the Quematrice itself.
Completing this event quest will reward you with the usual list stuff, from money to Quematrice materials and Guild Points, but since we’re here for the Amstrigian helmet, you’ll want to keep an eye out forAmstrigian Tickets. This quest may also reward you with Silver Eggs and Steel Eggs, which can besold to make a ton of money.
Event quests like these are time-limited. However, players can expect them to become available again soon after they disappear, and more so when a seasonal event is live.
Is the Amstrigian Helmet Any Good?
As mentioned,it’s more of a novelty item. The Amstrigian Alpha helmet comes with 36 Defense and negative resistances to everything but Thunder and Dragon. Also, it has Evade Extender 1 and Wide Range 2 — together, these skills will extend the players' dodge distance and make it so that certain consumables also affect allies when used.
Evade Extender and Wide Range aren’t necessarily bad skills, but they pale in comparison to other skills that improve the player’s damage output or offer other quality-of-life improvements, like Speed Eating or Recovery Up. More importantly, the Amstrigian Alpha helmet does not have any decoration slots, which severely hampers buildcrafting options.
Thankfully, you can always wear the Amstrigian helmet over your actual onevia the layered armor system. You can transmog your gear for free by visiting your tent.
