The Monster Hunter Wilds Sharp Fang is a crafting item you'll need for specific armor sets in the early game, but working out the location of the Sharp Fang isn't easy as just about every monster and creature you encounter seems to have a mouth full of them. In fact, the Monster Hunter Wilds sharp fang is obtained by killing and carving one of the smaller beasts, the unremarkable Talioth. We'll go into more detail below about where to look and what you need accordingly.

You can get Sharp Fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds by killing certain Small Monsters, usually the ones with obvious sharp teeth (unsurprisingly), found around the game's various regions. In the early game, you'll want to look for Talioths and Gajios to reliably get Sharp Fangs:

  • Talioths: Tall, velociraptor-like creatures found in the Windswept Plains region. They are generally found in large groups but they may disperse when you start attacking. Thankfully, they are very weak.
  • Gajios: Crocodilian monsters with wide, armored snouts found in or around water in the Windswept Plains and Scarlet Forest regions. They're relatively tough but focusing attacks from the back or sides can bring them down quickly.

To track these creatures down and get their Sharp Fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds, open the map and then open the Filter Icons list. Find either creature from the list and then select it to set a waypoint. You can then hop onto your Seikret and auto-ride towards the waypoint, dismount, and hunt those small monsters. Carve up their corpses and you collect some Sharp Fangs along the way.

Once that's done you can head back to camp, and speak to Gemma the Smithy about crafting new armor from your spoils. For example, If you've fought a Monster Hunter Wilds Chatacabra, you can use its parts and Sharp Fangs to craft the Chatacabra Coil.
