🗡️ How to Unlock Zoh Shia (High Rank)
If you finished the main story, you’ve already fought Zoh Shia in Low Rank form during the epic finale in Wyveria. At the time, though, there wasn’t a gear set tied to the fight—kind of a bummer, right?
Well, Title Update 1 changes that.
To unlock Zoh Shia’s High Rank quest:
- You need to hit Hunter Rank 50 (HR 50).
- If you’re not there yet, focus on optional quests, investigations, and event quests to level up fast.
Once you reach HR 50, a new mission in Chapter 6-2 called “A First Cry” will unlock. Head to Suja and talk to Allhearken and Olivia to start the quest. They’ll clue you in on some strange activity near the Dragontorch—the same area where you fought Zoh Shia before.
After the scene, speak with Alma, who will ask if you’re ready to go. Select “I’m Ready”, and off you go—back into the heart of the storm for a rematch with Zoh Shia, now stronger than ever.
