Monster Hunter Wildsfeatures a wide variety of healing items, which you might not have to bother with until you reach the High Ranks. Mega Potions and First-Aid Meds are usually enough to get the job done until you complete the story.

However, in the High Ranks, you need a strong healing option like a Max Potion because monsters here are more aggressive than ever, and they won’t let you have a few seconds to yourself to heal in the middle of the battle. Regardless, the Max Potion is easily one of the best healing options in the game, and here’s how you’re able to get it.

How To Get A Max Potion

There are multiple ways to acquire a Max Potion, such aspurchasing the item from a support ship or trading with Sekka. But the easiest way to collect Max Potion is tocraft it yourself. Crafting a Max Potion is only tricky for the first time, but once you’ve unlocked the recipe, you’ll be able to craft it with ease.

To craft a Max Potion, you willfirst have to craft a Catalyst. You can craft a Catalyst by combining Bitterbug Broth with Honey. After you’ve crafted a Catalyst, you’ll have tocombine it with a Mandragora to get a Max Potion.

You can craft the Max Potion by accessing the Crafting menu after sitting in any tent. If the option to craft a Max Potion isn’t available yet, you’ll have to craft a Catalyst first, and then the option will show up in the Crafting Menu.

For the Catalyst, Bitterbug Broth and honey can be obtained from any region on the map.If you’re having trouble locating a Bitterbug, you can find one in Area 7 of Windward Plains, while several nodes ofhoney can be found towards the east of Area 8of the same region.
