MH Rise - Shrine Ruins Shrine Ruins The first map you explore in Monster Hunter Rise, it's full of ruins and abandoned buildings where civilization used to take place. It is possible that the people of Kamura Village used to live here before the Rampage.
MH Rise - Frost Islands Frost Islands The Frost Islands used to be the nest of a giant dragon. Countless hunters have tried to slay it but failed. Now it is the home of massive dragon bones and a wrecked Dragonship.
MH Rise - Flooded Forest Flooded Forest The Flooded Forest is a returning map that last appeared in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The overall atmosphere is very gloomy with huge open areas littered with bodies of water. The iconic pyramid from past games and could be interesting to traverse using wirebugs!
MH Rise - Sandy Plains Sandy Plains The Sandy Plains is also a returning map that was last seen in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. This map is a vast landmass of sand and hot sun but during the night, the moonlight allows a cool breeze to sweep through the plains.
MH Rise - Lava Caverns Lava Caverns The Lava Caverns is a large cave system where a gradual flow of lava falls adjacent to a crystalline body of water. There is a visible large volcano found on the map.
