Master Rank is heavily touted as the ultimate Monster Hunter challenge that requires players to have some of the best gear and optimized builds to take down vicious monsters in these hunts.

Players can farm the Twisted Stiffbone resource as soon as they unlock the Master Rank map of the Shrine Ruins in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Although these resources can be carved from the many bonepiles littered across the map, the easiest ones to get to are in Area 7 and 5 of Shrine Ruins.

Players can find the Twisted Stiffbone from a bonepile in Area 7, located atop the hill west of Area 7. Players must climb up twice to reach the top from the path heading up to Area 7.

From there, players can use the Great Wirebug found next to the bonepile to reach the next bonepile with the Twisted Stiffbone. Upon landing, players need to look for a wooden arch and use a Wirebug to cross the gap and head through the arch to reach Area 5. Here they can find the next bonepile to carve Twisted Stiffbone from.
