MH Rise: What Are Palamute Scrolls

Palamute Scrolls are special items that can be equipped by Palamutes. They work similarly to spells in other games, ranging from health buffs to luring monsters. Here are a few examples:

  • Healing Scroll - gradually heals Canynes. Its effect lasts for a limited time.
  • Heal Blade Scroll - A scroll activated on attack, healing all in its vicinity. Limited time effect.
  • Diversion Scroll - A scroll with a unique scented salve that lures monsters. Limited time effect.
  • Ghillie Scroll - A scroll with a salve that hides the Palamute’s presence. Limited time effect.
  • Throwarm Scroll - A scroll with an explosive salve for weapons like kunai. Limited time effect.
  • Heavy Strike Scroll - Raises attack and chance to stagger. Its effect lasts for a limited time.
  • Flurry Strike - Raises affinity with each combo hit. Its effect lasts for a limited time.
  • Blitz Scroll - Raises Palamute's attack speed for a limited time.
  • Rocksteady - Lessens the effect of staggering when hit. Its effect lasts for a limited time.

Scrolls are essentially a way to add extra support types to your Palamute. They’re well worth having, especially if you’re only using Palamutes on a run.

How to Use Palamute Scrolls

Many Scrolls will activate automatically during battle. Others will require you to issue orders via the buddy menu. Luring and hiding are good example of this, and can be used in place of items like bait.

Unlocking More Scrolls

To unlock more Scrolls you will need to complete requests for Canyne Master Inukai. He’s found near the red bridge in the village. They will also appear in the Rare Finds section of the Argosy from time to time. You can find this in the Buddy Hub area.
