The Cloudy Moonshard is an incredibly rare resource you can find in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. The chances of finding it while you’re out hunting are slim, but you can increase your chances of finding it by taking down a specific monster and working with your group to try and take down a monster in a particular way. Unfortunately, there’s only one way you can find a Cloudy Moonshard, and it’s a hefty challenge. This guide covers what you need to do to get a Cloudy Moonshard in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
Where to find a Cloudy Moonshard in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
The only creature that has a chance to drop a Cloudy Moonshard is the Lucent Nargacuga. This is a monster that became available following the first free update to Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

The Cloudy Moonshard has the best chance to drop by cutting off a Lucent Nargacuga’s tail and then carving that item. This will give you a 5% chance to obtain it. Beyond this, the next best chance to find it is by capturing the Lucent Nargacuga before defeating it in a hunt or breaking the top of its head. When capturing it, there’s a 4% of it dropping, and there’s a 3% chance of it dropping if you break its head. We do not recommend defeating and killing a Lucent Nargacuga. This will significantly reduce your chances of obtaining this item.
When you have a Cloudy Moonshard, we recommend using it on the Lucent Nargacuga tree weapon. For those looking to use Critical Damage based items, it’s a superb weapon choice.
