Monster Hunter Wilds continues to make the long-running franchise more welcoming to brand-new hunters joining the expedition. The story does a good job of explaining the core concepts of monster hunting to the player. Once you have completed the story, you will enter High Rank. This is where monsters get stronger, and you'll have to tailor your gear towards each monster's weaknesses and abilities.
Being prepared for anything is an essential part of monster hunting. Many Monster Hunter Wilds items can give you a leg up on whatever beast you're hunting. Mega Demondrug is the best item in the game, if you're looking for a temporary boost to your raw attack power. Ingesting Mega Demondrug gives you a +10 attack for 30 minutes and the effect will continue even if you get carted (killed) by a monster. You can even stack the Mega Demondrug with other attack-buffing items like Might Pills, Might Seeds, and Demon Powder. This guide will explain how to make Demondrugs and then upgrade them further into Mega Demondrugs in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to Craft Demondrug
The first step in crafting Mega Demondrug is making its predecessor Demondrug. This is a weaker, but still useful form that gives you a +7 attack for 30 minutes. Here are the ingredients you will need to make a Demondrug from your Crafting List, either in the menus or at your tent.
- Catalyst = Bitterbug Broth + Honey
- Demondrug = Catalyst + Might Seed
The basic recipe for a Demondrug is one Catalyst and one Might Seed, but chances are you'll need to make some Catalyst. Catalyst is a very useful crafting item that is used in many recipes to make buff items. It's a good idea to collect as much honey and bitterbugs as you can early to stay stocked up on Catalyst. Look for Bitterbugs by searching for blue bug gathering points on your map in any area. Honey can be found at the honeycomb gathering points on your map in every area. Might Seeds are harder to find as they are only in the Oilwell Basin and the Ruins of Wyveria. Areas 4 and 6 in Wyveria are a good way to farm some whenever you're exploring the ruins.
How to Craft Mega Demondrug
Once you have made some Demondrug, the next step is simple.
- Mega Demondrug = Nourishing Extract + Demondrug
Nourishing Extract is a unique ingredient that can only be acquired by defeating guardian monsters later on in the story. These are creatures that inhabit the Ruins of Wyveria. Nourishing Extract is an important component necessary for many of the best potions and buffs in Monster Hunter Wilds. Combine it with a Demondrug to make Mega Demondrug. You can only carry five Mega Demondrug on your person at a time, so use them wisely against monsters you feel weak against.
