Monster Hunter Rise Amiibo: How To Get All Amiibo Armor

Discover how to utilize the special Monster Hunter Rise Amiibo figures to obtain exclusive Sinister Seal layered armor collections that transform your character’s appearance.

Monster Hunter Rise introduced three distinct Amiibo collectibles at launch, each providing access to unique cosmetic armor sets within the game. Unlike standard armor crafted through normal gameplay progression, layered armor serves purely aesthetic purposes—it doesn’t modify your defensive capabilities or provide statistical advantages, but allows you to overlay your existing equipment with visually striking designs.

These Monster Hunter Rise Amiibo collectibles are currently only available through GameStop retailers in the United States, and they’re obtainable immediately (though as typical with Nintendo’s collectible figures, inventory constraints may apply). Once you’ve secured these specialized figures, here’s a comprehensive guide on activating them within the game to acquire their corresponding armor collections.

The Monster Hunter Rise Amiibo lineup consists of three distinct figures: the formidable Magnamalo Amiibo, loyal Palamute Amiibo, and clever Palico Amiibo. Every figure grants access to a Sinister Seal layered armor collection, all designed around the game’s flagship monster, Magnamalo, featuring impressive visual details.

The Magnamalo Amiibo provides the Sinister Seal layered armor set for your primary hunter character, while the Palamute and Palico Amiibo unlock matching sets for their respective companion types. You can examine each Sinister Seal layered armor collection showcased below.

Common Mistake Alert: Many players attempt to scan Amiibo during quests or expeditions, but activation only works in specific hub areas. Always ensure you’re in the village or gathering hub before attempting to scan.

Optimization Tip: If you’re having trouble finding these Amiibo figures, consider setting up stock notifications through GameStop’s website or checking with local retailers during restock days, typically Tuesday mornings.

To activate your Amiibo figures and claim their rewards, navigate to the Courier Palico located near the village entrance or gathering hub. Interact with the feline assistant and select the ‘Amiibo’ option from their service menu.

Position your Amiibo figure on the right Joy-Con controller’s NFC touchpoint or use the Pro Controller’s NFC area. Hold the figure steady until the game confirms successful scanning through visual and audio cues.

Daily Limitations: You can scan each Amiibo figure once per calendar day for randomized additional rewards beyond the armor sets, including useful items and crafting materials.

Troubleshooting Guide: If scanning fails repeatedly, check that your controller’s NFC functionality is enabled in system settings, ensure the figure isn’t damaged, and verify you’re using a supported controller model.

Time Estimate: The complete scanning process typically takes 2-3 minutes per figure, including navigation and reward collection. Plan accordingly if scanning multiple figures.
