Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak title update 5 content details

New monsters

Title update 5 adds two new monsters to the game, both of which are Elder Dragons and are scaled according to the master rank quests. The new monsters being included with this patch are:

Amatsu (available from MR10)

A fearsome Elder Dragon that has the ability to bend the weather to its will and is also capable of summoning storms as well as lightning strikes that are rumored to have wiped a city completely off the title's map. Amatsu is a returning monster that first made its appearance in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and will be making its debut in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak with the fifth and final title update.

Risen Shagaru Magala (available from MR180)

Shagaru Magala is an Elder Dragon that has managed to overcome the Qurio affliction, dominating it to gain even more intimidating abilities and great strength. The Risen variant of the monster is capable of releasing larger quantities of the Frenzy Virus that can result in massive viral explosions in an increased radius. The Elder Dragon is capable of entering Risen state at its whim and can gain significant buff in its defenses, making it the ultimate monster-hunting challenge.

New anomaly quests

With the fifth and final title update, Capcom has increased the level cap on anomaly investigation to Lv. 300. Alongside this, Capcom has also introduced a new set of anomaly quests called Special Investigations. According to the studio:

"Special Investigations should only be attempted by those who have true confidence in their strength. When a max level quest (300) is completed, the player who posted it is rewarded a Special Investigation (only once). These quests are extremely dangerous and difficult. Completing them will not yield any new quests or luxurious rewards, but you can earn a special Badge of Heroes if you complete a lot of these quests with different target monsters."

These undertakings are essentially end-game anomaly quests that players can pursue once they've reached Lv. 300 and want more challenging missions to tackle for exclusive rewards.
