Monster Hunter Stories 2: How to Get Raw Meat

To get Raw Meat you will need to defeat certain Monsters in battle, causing them to drop it as a reward. the three main targets here are Aptonoh, Bullfango and Larinoth. Here's where to find each one:

• Aptonoh - Can be found grazing in North Kamuna Cape. You can see a screenshot of an Aptonoh below
• Bullfango - Found in various Everdens. Specifically, head to the Great Ratha area of Kamuna Cape. You can also find them in all areas of Hakolo Island.
• Larinoth - Larinoth are easier to find, given how large they are. Head to the North Kamuna Cape and look for large brachiosaurus-looking monsters. They have long necks, and can be found all over this region.

All you need to do is defeat these monsters in battle and they will drop Raw Meat. They may also drop Quality Meat occasionally.

Check the Quest Board, one quest is called High Stakes: Gourmet Steak. In quests like this you can hand in Raw Meat and other ingredients to get cooked items.
