Several types of Bones are available in MH Wilds, and all of them are essential for specific upgrades. Notably, these are obtainable in multiple regions in the Forbidden Lands. To get the Mystery Bone, travel to one of the following locations first:

• Windward Plains
• Iceshard Cliffs
• Ruins of Wyveria
• Scarlet Forest
• Oilwell Basin

Windward Plains is unlocked pretty early in the story, where you can look for the Bonepile locations marked on the map. You can find the spots by looking for the yellow symbol.

After reaching the locations, you will find monster skeletons lying on the ground. Get close to them and tap the interact button to gather Mystery Bones. A single Bonepile usually contains three items.

However, as mentioned before, you may not find only Mystery Bones in one Bonepile as other types of Bones are also available in the game.
