Akuma Unlock Guide – Full Monster Hunter Wilds Quest Walkthrough & SF6 Moveset

🔥 The Demon Joins the Hunt

"Street Fighter's most feared warrior has entered the New World – and he's ready to Shoryuken a Diablos into next week."

Capcom's latest crossover brings Akuma from Street Fighter 6 into Monster Hunter Wilds—and this isn’t just a costume reskin. We’re talking a full-blown martial arts weapon class with fireballs, teleports, and his infamous Raging Demon finisher.

Want to unleash the Satsui no Hado on unsuspecting monsters? Here’s everything you need to know.


🔹 What You Need Before Starting

Before you can challenge the demon himself, make sure you've got:

  • Hunter Rank 21+ – This is your golden ticket to the quest.

  • Access to Oilwell Basin – The starting point for this wild ride.

  • No Rush! – Unlike past collabs, this one’s permanent content.

🔹 Starting the Quest – Meeting the Master

  1. Find Quinn – Head to Oilwell Basin Base Camp (look for the yellow icon).

  2. Accept “Ultimate Strength” – This kicks off your demonic training arc.

  3. Play Detective – Investigate monster carcasses in:

    • Upper Stratum (Area 5) – Check the Tempered Rathian remains.

    • Lower Stratum (Area 11) – Examine the Tempered Gypceros corpse.

  4. Report Back – Return to Maki in Azuz to continue your journey.

  • Head to Area 18, near the fork between Areas 14 and 18.

  • Listen for fighting sounds – follow them to a hidden passage.

Step 2: The Arena Showdown

Now comes the real test—an Arena Quest where you'll:
