Astalos is one of the most striking Flying Wyverns available in Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, renowned for its electrified attacks and aggressive speed. Adding this thunderous monster to your squad provides a massive advantage during mid-to-late game battles. Understanding where to locate its egg and how to hatch it efficiently will save players time while building an optimal combat team.
Where to Locate Astalos Eggs in the Wild
To track down an Astalos egg, riders must journey to the volcanic region of Terga late in the main story campaign. Astalos eggs spawn within Monster Dens and Rare Monster Dens across this rugged area. Searching through gold-glowing Rare Monster Dens significantly increases the chances of finding this specific Flying Wyvern egg.
Recognizing the Astalos Egg Pattern
Identifying the correct egg before leaving a nest ensures you do not waste valuable trip attempts. Astalos eggs feature a distinct green shell decorated with jagged, electric-like yellow and black stripes. Navirou will often comment on the weight and smell when you pick up a high-quality egg, indicating better stats.
Hatching and Managing Your New Monstie
Once secured in your egg carton, return to the nearest village Stables to hatch your new ally. Hatching the egg adds Astalos directly to your party or Monstie storage, allowing you to manage its stats. Utilizing the Rite of Channeling helps pass down powerful thunder-based genes to customize its abilities further.
Maximizing Astalos in Battle Strategies
In combat, Astalos excels as a Technical-type monster capable of dealing heavy elemental damage. Pairing it with proper support gear and riding actions creates a formidable dynamic against opposing elemental foes. Riders can also take advantage of its Flying field skill to navigate maps quickly.
