Monster Hunter Rise is filled with rare items and materials you can use to craft the weapons and armor of your dreams, but some of it is much harder to attain than others. Ore is easy. Monster parts are, at least, predictable. Sinister Cloth? Now, this is a much tougher item to get a hold of.

The Sinister Cloth is an item that can be currently found from one source only, which makes it one of the most difficult resources to obtain. If you get it, though, it can give you access to some of the coolest armor sets and weapons in the game.

How To Farm Sinister Cloth

The only known way to obtain Sinister Cloth right now is through the Meowcenaries. The Meowcenaries is an idle service that allows your extra buddies to take on several farming endeavors while you focus on quests. A mix of four Palicos and Palamutes will be chosen to go out on expeditions to different regions, in order to obtain new items.

Sinister Cloth is one of the rare items you will only get from the Meowcenaries, and they will only be able to get it from the rarest of expeditions. You will need to select a route that has sparkles next to the name of the area, and then the track with the sparkling gathering icon. Only these will hold rare items like the Sinister Cloth, and to get a chance of getting those, you need to pick a route with a Bonepile icon sparkling.

You will not be able to predict which items the Meowcenaries will bring back, but if you want to focus on Sinister Cloth and nothing else you can keep checking in on their trip with the Felyne NPC in your room, or the one at the Buddy Plaza. Once their expedition has passed the sparkling icon, you can recall the team and send them out on another trip.

The Sinister Cloth can be used to craft the following items:

  • Death Stench Armor Set
  • Felyne D. Stench Set
  • Canyne D. Stench Set
  • Cawscythe I
  • Deathport Staff I
  • Graceful Death I
  • Infernal Axe I

Boost Your Meowcenaries Rewards With Lagniapple

You can boost the effectiveness of the Meowcenaries, or the Dojo training, by using a Lagniapple. These special items are loved by the Felyne race, and they’ll work much harder to get what you need if you include one as payment for their services.

Lagniapples can be fairly rare, but you can get more by choosing Optional Subquests that offer them as rewards, or, very rarely, find them in the open world while gathering.

Stocking up on Lagniapples will make it much easier to energize your Meowcenaries team, and will hopefully boost your chances of getting the rarest possible loot. Make sure to check in on your Meowcenaries squad regularly in order to get as many rewards as possible, as once their trip is complete, they’ll be sat doing nothing until you put them on another task.
