It's not a Nintendo Switch game if there isn't some good ol' amiibo support. While less ambitious in their offerings as they used to be, these little figures often grant players who invested some bonuses. In Monster Hunter Rise, it's no different.
How do I use amiibo in Monster Hunter Rise?
Visit a Merchant. You can head to the Market, run by Kagero the Merchant, in the Kamura Village square. Kagero sells items that can be useful on hunts and can be found standing directly opposite Hinoa the Quest Maiden. You can also visit Maido the Merchant, the purr-ecious Felyne sitting to the left of Minoto the Hub Maiden in the Gathering Hub.

On Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers, the NFC reader can be found on the Nintendo Switch icon in the middle of the controller. If you can't find it, don't worry! An image illustrating where you should place the amiibo will appear. Still, make sure that the controller you're using is amiibo compatible. All official Nintendo controllers can read amiibo, but not all third-party controllers can.
