Versions and Thanks (ABCDEFGH) =============================================================================== 1.(AB) -----INTRODUCTION----- This is my first walkthrough, so don't blame me for some crap that I made a mistake on. This is based on the Monster Hunter game for PS2. It can also be played online, but I don't have a network adaptor, so ha, this is purely offline. My guide will cover the basics, controls, weapons, armor, item combinations, monsters, and quests. I have been playing for a total of about half a year now(i stopped and started a new file mid-way) so yeah. Hopefully my guide will help you people out there, so yeah. I used the letters of the alphabet in my search system, so have fun. (CTRL+F, type in search letters, find next) Okay, now that thats been done, we get to go on to the basics! =============================================================================== 2.(ABC) -----BASICS----- Alright, so Monster Hunter has been around for some time now, and now I feel like I should write a Walkthrough just because I'm bored. I've had this game since it came out, so yeah, I've been bored. This game requires you(the player) to attack with the right analog stick, so moving the camera around might be kinda difficult for you guys. To move the camera around, you use the directional pad, or arrow buttons. You can also auto-center the screen by using the L1 button.Move around with the left analog stick. X button is the action button. It is used to search, climb, jump, talk, confirm, and deliver. The O button is used to dodge, or sidestep if you are using the lance. It is VERY IMPORTANT TO USE THE O BUTTON WHILE FIGHTING ENEMIES. YOU WILL GET OWNED IF YOU DON'T. The Square button is the "items" button, or it is used to use items. The triangle button brings up the "Wisdom of the Chief" menu, but can only be used in the earlier stages of the game. The R1 button is used to block(you can just click R1 with your weapon sheathed and you will automatically bring your weapon out and block). The R2 button is used to sprint your ass off. This consumes the yellow bar, or Stamina bar. If it gets into the red zone, then you will basically be walking. When you let go after it is depleted completely, you will stop and breathe for a moment before being able to control your character again. The L2 button is used to scroll through your usable items list. Hold down L2 and scroll with Square or O. Let go to set your current item and use with Square. R3 is used for online games, where your current location is revealed with a signal on the map. R3 is a kick attack, where your hunter kicks the ground. You can also kick an enemy monster. I killed a Kelbi in about 30-35 kicks :). Start brings up the menu, where you can do all sorts of things, and select isn't used.So if this is getting you confused, well here you go(i just though about it while I was typing and I didn't feel like erasing). Left Analog Stick- Move your Hunter Right Analog Stick- Attack Directional Pad/Arrow Buttons- Camera X Button- Search,climb,jump,talk,confirm,deliver O Button- Dodge, back/sidestep(with lance) Square Button- Use current equipped item Triangle Button- Bring up "Wisdom of the Chief" R1 Button- Block R2 Button- Sprint L1 Button- Center Camera L2 Button- Enable scrolling of items list Start Button- Brings up menu Select Button- ~not used~ Now that you got the controls, you can now move on to the real game!!!!! HAVE FUN!:) =============================================================================== 3. (ABCD) -----Walkthrough----- (-----!IMPORTANT! THIS IS PURELY OFFLINE, SO DON"T GIVE ME ANY QUESTIONS ON ONLINE THINGS, CUZ I DON'T HAVE ONLINE!-----) Now that you have gotten the controls in your head,you need to start a new game and character. If you already have, then let's get going. Basically, you start off in a village where nothing is really happening. Inside your house, you need to get to the village chief, so get the hell over there. He is the old man across from the weapons and armor shop next to the guy laying against the tree. Talk to him and he will give you 1500Z(zeni) to spend on armor. What I did was not use that money at all, but you can get whatever you like. Now go talk to him again and start the urgent quest. --NOTE--I have excluded the "URGENT QUEST" label, so the first quest in every star is the urgent quest. --END- =============================================================================== (1star) QUEST LEVEL--1 STAR This is the first set of quests you will receive. These are obviously the easiest and are going to take the least amount of time. It has a total of 5 quests which teaches you the basics. =============================================================================== (1a) BASICS:FINDING RAW MEAT Gathering Quest Reward: 50z Contract: 0z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 2 PIECES OF RAW MEAT FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Chief First, a little trial. Hunt down an Aptonoth and harvest the meat. Deliver 2 pieces of Raw Meat and you'll complete your first quest! Battle Plan..... Within the camp, you have a series of things that you might want to do. One would be to walk towards the blue box next to you. This will update your "Wisdom of the Chief". Push X to it and take out all the contents. Now use L2 and hold it down. Push Square or O to scroll to the rations(the meat). Let go of L2 and push Square to use it. Eat both rations to fill your stamina gauge to the max. You should do this at the beginning of EVERY quest. Then update your "Wisdom of the Chief" even further by walking to the bed inside the tent. Go out and approach the red box leaning against the tent. After updating, go through the little tunnel towards Area 1. Every time your leave an area and go to another one, it will bring up a screen with the map on it. This is Monster Hunter's load screen. I just thought you might want to know that. Once you gain control of your character again, run left all the by using the map until you get to the entrance to Area 2. Head there. From here, continue up on the map to Area 3 and in this area is the furthest you can go. At the top of Area 3 on the map are mushrooms that you might want to search. If you are having trouble locating it, it is past the small pathway that seems to shrink near the entrance. Go up ahead and keep going until it looks like you are going to fall off(which you can't). Now head left and you will see a massive boulder blocking the way to another Area and a set of rocks with mushrooms next to them. Search with X. Hopefully you will find the Nitroshroom, which you will need later on. Special Mushrooms are also helpful in getting you more zeni. ---TIP--- When you are searching, some messages might come up. These can show that you found something, you didn't find anything yet, or just that there isn't anything else to find. Use this to tell whether you are done or not. ALWAYS SEARCH UNTIL IT SAYS "There is nothing else here". That means you are done. ---END--- Once you are done searching, go back to Area 2. In Area 2 you will find 2 big ledges where you can climb with X and a vine on the bigger ledge that you can also climb with X. Get onto the bigger ledge in whichever way you see fit and search in the set of vines at the top of the climbable vines. If you are smart, you will know that the area to search that i am talking about it that green pile of grass. Search and you will receive Ivy, another material you will need. Take as much as you can and then get your hunter back to the main level of Area 2. Near the bigger ledge is a tree with a small plant sprouting next to it. Search to get Herbs. When you get all that you can, head back to Area 1. Destroy the Aptonoth with your Hunter's Knife. Remember to attack using the Right Analog Stick and not the shape buttons(if you play Soul Calibur, Tekken, and all that jazz). ---TIP--- If you are running and hit push the Right Analog Stick in any direction, you will get a dash attack, which is usually really strong. If you just stand still and push down on the Right Analog Stick, you will receive the same attack. Standing still and pushing the Right Analog Stick in any other way will just make your hunter unsheathe his or her weapon. ---END--- ATTACKS::::: (SWORD) Down- Dash Attack Up- Down-Slash Left- Side-Slash Right- Side Slash Combos: DASH,up,up,up,left/right (use left/right when your hunter starts using the shield hit. Now that you are actually attacking for the first time, you will think about what you are doing. Your weapon is the beginner weapon. It is weak...REALLY weak...so you will be smart and aim for one Aptonoth at a time. Killing the smallest Aptonoth there is easiest, because he is the child. Now once you have killed him, sheathe your weapon(X or Square) and carve your kill(X). You can carve Aptonoth twice, so don't forget that. After carving, you might get 2 Raw Meats. If you do, don't stop killing them. Kill them all and carve them all until they are all gone. Remember, Aptonoth will run away when attacked or defend themselves for a while and then run, so keep your eyes on your prey and kick his ass. If you receive the message "Weapon Power has Decreased", then that is your cue that you have been attacking a lot and now you need to use a whetstone to restore your sharpness and power. Use the Mini Whetstone you got from the blue box and then kill some more. When you get all your carves, you should have more than 2, so go back to camp and deliver the meat by pushing X to the red box. Now you can just wait for 20 seconds. --NOTE-- After every quest, you have the ability to take reward items and money. Take all the rewards that you can carry(sometimes, you get more than 5 crickets) and take the money, save if you like, and then come back home. FINISH! =============================================================================== Now that you are back, go back inside your house and approach the little chest inside. Use Square to open up a menu. Pick Store Item and store all the unneccessary items in your bag(basically everything). Now quit out of that menu and go back outside and Accept quest 2. =============================================================================== (1b) BASICS:PREPARING MEAT Gathering Quest Reward: 50z Contract: 0z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 1 WELL-DONE STEAK FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Chief You can't eat Raw Meat! You've got to cook it first! I want you to barbeque some meat and bring a piece back to the camp! Battle Plan..... PLEASE USE THE ABOVE PLAN FOR THE FIRST QUEST, EXCEPT NOW, YOU HAVE TO COOK RAW MEAT. Take all the items in the blue box and go to Area 3 and get shrooms. Get Ivy from Area 2. Kill Aptonoth in Area 1 and carve meat. Cook meat for Well-Done Steak. ---TIP--- Cooking meat isn't that hard, but a person with HORRIBLE timing will get owned. First you need raw meat and a barbeque spit. You automatically get a barbeque spit from the supplies and you have to carve for the meat. After carving, Scroll through the usable items (L2) until you reach the BBQ SPIT item. Use it. I suggest you use it in a bright area and not a dark one because then you won't be able to see the change in color. You will hear a short tune. When the tune ends, the meat will change color really quick, and then shortly after, it will be black. If you push X too soon, you will get Rare Steak. Too late and you will receive a Burnt Meat. If you do it WAYWAYWAY too soon, it will still be a raw meat. At the precise time, you will receive a Well-Done Steak. Carve as many raw meats as you can and make a total of 10 Well-Done Steaks. Then deliver one and grab the rewards. FINISH! =============================================================================== --NOTE-- STORE ITEMS AFTER EVERY QUEST. THE ONLY ITEMS YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY CARRY WITH YOU ARE THE BOOKS OF COMBOS (unless you are going to kill the Gypceros), WELL-DONE STEAK, AND HEALING ITEMS. =============================================================================== (1c) BASICS:SEARCHING FOR ITEMS Gathering Quest Reward: 50z Contract: 0z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 2 HERBS AND 1 SPIDERWEB FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Chief You can find all sorts of useful items during a hunt. Search around and bring me 2 Herbs and 1 Spiderweb. Battle Plan..... Get your supplies(you don't need to take the Normal Lv.1 ammo anymore) and go out to Area 3 again. Gather, go to Area 2. Get the Herbs and climb to get the Ivy. At the top of the ledge, go into the newly-opened area to Area 6. Area 6 is a cliff area, where to get to the top, you need to climb....a lot. Now start at the right side and climb up 3 ledges. Then climb the Vines to the top and then another set of vines up. Climb up the next ledge and another set of vines and there you will see the Spiderweb right across from you. Grab as much as you can and then drop ALL THE WAY DOWN...(it won't hurt you). Go back to camp and deliver. You have just added another item that you will grab during every run around the Forest and Hills(unless you are doing quest level 3 and up). Now that you have gotten more items, store them and go outside. You will see one lady with a basket on her head, a man and woman talking to each other about a famous gunner, and a woman across from your house selling goods. If you didn't buy any equipment at the beginning of the game, then you will be happy. From this lady, you can buy Old and Iron Pickaxes, items you will need to upgrade the most important weapons in the game including your current one. Buy 5 Iron Pickaxes (not old) and start your next quest. FINISH! =============================================================================== (1d) BASICS:COMBINING ITEMS Gathering Quest Reward: 50z Contract: 0z Time: 50 mintes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 2 POTIONS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Chief You can combine items to make new ones! Start with the basics: a Potion! You'll need a Blue Mushroom, and... Oh, what was the other....? Battle Plan..... That other item he forgot would be the Herb. Go do the run again and once you get the Spiderweb from Area 6, stop. From here, turn your screen to face the spiderweb(like after climbing up the vines).Then turn 90 degrees to the left and you will see another ledge. Hug the right wall and RUN TOWARDS THAT LEDGE and your hunter will automatically jump. From this ditch, climb up the small ledge next to you and then up the other to get to the top. From here, you are going to want to walk up to that brown stain on the edge of the ground. From here, you want to drop down and then you will be in a massive hole. In this hole is a big crack in the wall, also being a giant letter X. Switch to your Pickaxes and use it against the mining spot to mine. Every X you see, you are going to want to mine. --NOTE-- If you are lucky, you will find an Earth Crystal, which is important for those Rust Weapons, or just to upgrade your weapon even further. Most likely, you will get Iron Ore, which you will need to bump your Hunters Knife up a level. Sometimes, your Pickaxe will break. This is common, but VERY common with the old pickaxe. If you are ever doing a run where you are mining, NEVER bring along bugnets and search for bugs. It will fill up your inventory VERY quickly, crowding everything. This also applies to searching for bugs. DONT MINE. --END-- When you can't mine anymore, drop to the bottom and head into Area 8(another new location). Here is where you will find your Blue Mushrooms, which you want a lot of. Search the big area of mushrooms up ahead and gather them. Once you are done searching, bring up the menu(start) and go to "Combine". From here, select your first material(doesn't matter which one). Pick Herb or Blue Mushroom, and then select the other material and combine. You will either get Garbage(you messed up) or a Potion. If you don't get any garbages, then you are lucky. Pat yourself on the back. Now get 2 Potions and then head out of there to the camp and deliver. FINISH! =============================================================================== If you dropped down to 3 Pickaxes left, buy 2 more and then head out. 3 is the least you want. If you mined an Iron Ore from the run, bring it to the weapons and armor dealer across from the village chief. Talk to the guy to the right(if you were facing them directly). Confirm "weapons" and then "improve weapon". Select the weapon you wish to improve(Hunters Knife) and select the weapon you wish to upgrade into(Hunter's Knife+). Almost every weapon has a "+". It doesn't change the looks, but does change the power and sharpness. Upgrade and then move on. =============================================================================== (2e) BASICS:FISHING Gathering Quest Reward: 50z Contract: 0z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 1 SUSHIFISH FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Chief You can use the fish you catch in all sorts of ways! Catch a Health- restoring Sushifish and bring it back to the camp! Battle Plan..... Grab the 10 worms from your supplies and go do the run. When you are done and are searching for mushrooms in Area 8, go up into Area 10 when you are done. Area 9 is usually full of Melynx unless you are doing a Velociprey quest. At Area 10, between the entrance to Area 3 and the pond is a tree with mushrooms next to it. This is another searching area added to the run. When done, go to Area 11 where you will fish for the Sushifish. The Bullfango in this area is very relentless, as all Bullfango are, but it will be no problem if you learn how to defend properly and know when to attack. As you enter, the Bullfango will start charging right away. You will know if you see him scratching the ground with his front right leg 3 times. Right after the third, he will attack. Sometimes when you hit him enough, he will stagger and shake his head. After shaking his head, he will attack right away, so thats your cue to block(R1). After slaying him and carving, go underneath the fallen tree and search. Sometimes, your hunter will just jump up and grab onto the tree, so just crouch with O(while standing still) and go underneath and then search. When done, Go past the fallen tree to the left and you can climb up the waterfall(ledges). Climb up 2 ledges, run up one and climb another one and you will find another area to mine(you won't see an X, but the X over the Iron Pickaxe icon will disappear). This will be the final addition to the Forest and Hills run. When you are done, drop back down and then start fishing at the edge of the water. ---TIP--- The strategy to fishing is based on how you watch the fish. You can see small fish in the pond. Watch them closely as well as your bobber. When you see a fish coming towards the bobber, get ready to push the X button. If you see your bobber simply create a small ripple, then pushing X will get you nothing. If you are a beginner, then this is common. When you get the hang of it, you will know exactly when to push it. The right time to push it is when the bobber sinks below the surface and creates a big ripple. It will sink quickly, and will give you little time to react. Its kinda like barbequeing. If you are too early, you get nothing. Too late and you lose your bait (sometimes). At the right time, you win. ---END--- When you use up all 10 worms, go back to camp. If you didn't catch a single Sushifish, then you better go back and grab the other 10 worms and come back. If you did catch at least one, then grab the other worms and fish at the fishing point in the camp. Why you couldn't fish here was because there are no Sushifish here. When you are out of worms, deliver and you have just cleared Quest Level 1 Star!!!!!!!!! HURRAY! FINISH! =============================================================================== Note that there is also a mining point in Area 6, but it isn't neccessary to get it. You can get it if you want( i do), but you don't really need to. Now that we know the run for Forest and Hills, I will list it again in case you have forgotten. I am also going to include the Area 6 addition in another run you can do. The one I told you to do is the first one. Run A 1. Area 3 Mushrooms 2. Area 2 Herbs 3. Area 2 Ivy 4. Area 6 Spiderwebs 5. Area 6 Mine 6. Area 8 Mushrooms 7. Area 10 Mushrooms 8. Area 11 Mine 9. Complete the Quest Run B 1. Area 2 Herbs 2. Area 2 Ivy 3. Area 6 Spiderwebs 4. Area 6 Mine 5. Area 5 Mine 6. Area 3 Mushrooms 7. Area 10 Mushrooms 8. Area 11 Mine 9. Area 8 Mushrooms 10. Complete the Quest Both runs are effective and can earn you important supplies, so doing them over and over is very wise. Mining is the main thing in these runs, so don't forget to mine. If you run out of money, mine until you lose all your pickaxes. Then buy 5 at once when you get the money(800z). Now that you have completed Quest Level 1 Star, your next objective is the Urgent quest for quest level 2. Upgrade your weapon if you get the chance and then start the quest(if you go even further and get the chance to upgrade to either Serpent Bite or Hunter's Dagger, get enough supplies to get the Hunter's Dagger. Upgrade it completely until you get the Assassin's Dagger and then stop. You will not need to upgrade beyond there. =============================================================================== (2star) QUEST LEVEL--1 STAR These series of quests are particularly harder than the Quest Level 1 Star quests, but there are still only 5 quests, so it should be fairly short. Your first monster hunt is located in this level, so good luck. =============================================================================== (2a) Your First Monster Hunt! Hunting Quest Reward: 200z Contract: 100z Time: 40 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 3 VELOCIPREY FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Guard HELP! The children are being attacked by small, blue monsters called Velociprey! 3 of the beasts are outside! Do something! Battle Plan..... Okay... Now this is your first monster hunt, so you will have to adapt quickly. Your objective is to kill 3 Velociprey. Nothing, hard right? Wrong. There are several reasons why it might be hard. 1. You are very early in the game, so not many weapons can be obtained. 2. Your weapon is very weak. 3. It will take long for you to kill one single Velociprey with that weapon. 4. Your weapon probably won't have any sharpness. 5. 3 Velociprey in one area is scary. 6. You probably don't have any armor if you followed my walkthrough. 7. THIS IS YOUR FIRST MONSTER HUNT! YOU DON'T KNOW VELOCIPREY WELL ENOUGH! So now that you understand why it might be hard, think of the advantages of taking this quest! 1. You will progress in the game. 2. You will be better than that gay Village Guard whose supposed to be protecting the kids. 3. You can finally get closer to that Rathalos quest. 4. You have more choices between armor and weapons. 5. You will get to kill Velociprey! Okay. Now all you have to do is go to Area 8 for that fight. For this quest, I suggest that you don't do any runs AT ALL. Just get it over with and then you can do it. If you were vigilant enough to acquire the Hunter's Dagger, then hurray for you. It's not that easy making all that money and mining all that ore early. But if you kicked it up a notch and got the Assassin's Dagger, then OH MY GOD, YOU WILL OWN THESE BLUE BITCHES! All you need to kill a Velociprey is 2 hits from the Assassin's Dagger, so good job. But most likely, you wouldn't have gotten that, so let's just stick with the plan. Grab the supplies and run to Area 8 for a cutscene. After watching these monsters eat and howl, its your turn. Move your hunter to the left side instead of the right(don't go towards the mushrooms). Climb up the 2 ledges and your first target will be in front of you. Remember to block and dodge using R1 and O. Velociprey are easily conquered, but they can hurt you if you suck and don't have any defense(which you don't have right now). Also, use the dash attack and then the shield attack and side-slash combo. If you can pull that move in, then good job. The other Velociprey should come pretty soon, so act fast. The Velociprey and all the preys(ioprey and genprey) disappear quickly after death, so getting a carve in with this much pressure is hard. Kill off the other 2 and you win. FINISH! =============================================================================== Now if you want, go back to the first few quests that let you mine and then mine for some more ore. The most you will need right now is Earth Crystal because they are very rare. Hopefully, you will get enough money to upgrade your weapon. Anyways, back to the game. =============================================================================== (2b) Mushroom Picking Gathering Quest Reward: 180z Contract: 90z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 7 SPECIAL MUSHROOMS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Loving Sibling I want to send some Special Mushrooms to my brother in town. But there are too many monsters. Please bring 7 Special Mushrooms to me. Battle Plan..... First off, all those mushroom patches that I informed you of during the "runs" have special mushrooms now, so go do the runs. If you forgot, the patches are in Areas 3, 8 ,and 10. Go search there and then finish. You can also visit area 6 and observe the Mosswine. They always sniff out Special Mushrooms. If you need extra because you couldn't reach 7, go to Area 7 and search around the entire place for Felvine(unless you have it already) and Insect Husks. Talk to the old man if you have them and he'll trade you Special Mushrooms for them. FINISH! =============================================================================== (2c) Present for the Armorer Gathering Quest Reward: 200z Contract: 100z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 5 KELBI HORNS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Veteran Armorer The decorations on Bowguns have always been made from the horns of Kelbi. But we're running out! Can you bring 5 Kelbi Horns to me? Battle Plan..... --NOTE-- BRING ALL THE PICKAXES YOU HAVE. --END-- Now here's a new run to add to your collection. Hopefully, you might have the Assassin's Dagger or something strong with nice green sharpness. If you don't then you will take just a bit longer. The Assassin's can kill a Kelbi in 2 hits and knock it back on the first hit, so it will be on the ground and you can just run up to it and hit again. So if you have anything like Hunter's Dagger, then that's still something. Start by grabbing the supplies and running to Area 1. From here, climb the left ledge to Area 8. Go to Area 10 and kill all the Kelbi you see. Don't worry they are nothing. When you finish, head into Area 11 and mine at the top of the waterfall. Once done, head back to 10 and once again, kill the Kelbi. Head into Area 3. OPTIONS DEPENDING ON STATUS: A) Ditch all Kelbi in this area if you have at least 5 horns. B) Kill all Kelbi in this area if you don't have at least 5 horns. Once done, head into Area 4 and then into 5. Kill the Velociprey and mine. Head into Area 6, drop down from the brown spot and mine. Head into Area 2 and then 1 and camp. FINISH! Mining Run Kelbi 1. Area 10 Kelbi 2. Area 11 Mine 3. Area 10 Kelbi 4. Area 3 Kelbi (optional) 5. Area 5 Mine 6. Area 6 Mine FINISH! =============================================================================== (2d) Help for the Festival Gathering Quest Reward: 180z Contract: 90z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 5 WELL-DONE STEAKS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Town Chief I'm cooking for a big festival in the town. But I'm running low on Well-Done Steaks. Can you bring me 5? Battle Plan..... Now if you are smart, you might actually have some Well-Done Steaks as reserve. If not, simply take the BBQ Spit supply item, kill Aptonoth, cook, and return. You might even want to do the Mining Run on this quest. FINISH! =============================================================================== (2e) Raid the Wyvern's Nest Gathering Quest Reward: 350z Contract: 100z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 1 WYBERN EGG FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Local Doctor One of the village people has fallen ill. I need a Wyvern Egg to cure them. Please sneak into a nest and get an egg for me! Battle Plan...... Now to start this quest, you won't need much except for 1 Well- Done Steak. This isn't necessary, but it might take some time off this quest. Make sure you don't eat the Rations if you didn't bring a Well Done Steak. Start off by grabbing the supplies and heading off to Area 3 and then to Area 4. You will see the almighty Rathalos here. You might want to start by hiding behind that massive block of rock in front of you. When you see him flying up into the air, that's your cue to start running to Area 6, so you better run fast! If you made it, congrats. If not, you should start over. Now go into Area 6 and slay the Velociprey ( 2 hits with Assassin's). Then climb up onto the only ledge that you can climb up and find the set of eggs(some are cracked). Get near there and eat your rations (or Well-Done Steak, even if you just ate your Rations). Search and grab the eggs and move your hunter out to Area 4, 3, 10, 8, 1, camp. This is the safe way and requires no killing Velociprey and definitely not wasting time to find Rathalos. Every single time I did this quest, the only time I saw Rathalos was the first time I visited Area 4. If you actually want to go through the route 4, 3, 2, 1, camp, then you will have to find the egg and drop it right away. Doing this will make all Velociprey appear in Area 2. Go there and kill them and come back to Area 6 and go follow that route. You will receive an Egg Ticket after this quest. KEEP IT. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3star) QUEST LEVEL-3 STAR Now you must prepare for your very first boss battle! Carry all the necessaries and make sure you have the Assassin's Dagger for this quest to make it go by faster. If not, go back and do the Mining Run Kelbi I told you about. This ensures you have the most ore you can get from this level. When you do have the Assassin's, commence the quest. You also shouldn't have any armor, so if you have any extra money, just start with the 300z set of armor. That's 1500z, which is possible to earn quickly after doing the Kelbi quest. Everytime you do that quest, always grab all the Kelbi materials and sell them for extra Z. =============================================================================== (3a) The Formidable Velocidrome! Hunting Quest Reward: 400z Contract: 150z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 1 VELOCIDROME FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Young Guardsman After you killed those Velociprey, theif leader showed up! It's bigger, and it has an orange crest. Find it and kill it! Battle Plan...... To start this quest, you should already have those healing items and that very strong Assassin's Dagger. You should also have armor items if you have the money. Grab the supplies and make sure you don't use those small barrel bombs because you don't need them on this quest. The only thing you actually need from the supplies are those paintballs and those flashbombs. Grab and go to Area 10, where you get a cut-scene of the dreadful monster. He will call many Velociprey to his area, so whip out your flashbomb and use 1. Then use your Assassin's Dagger to hit each and everyone of those Velociprey ONCE. After that, they should be very weak and you can just head for the Velocidrome. Plant as many hits as you can until he regains his eyesight. After this, he should have a fair amount of his health lost. Use this chance and put on some more hits until he leaves the area. This only happens when he is too weak to continue. While you are attacking him, some Velociprey should have died in the process, so good job. Also take note that when he leaves, his lackies follow him. Follow him to the next area (usually Area 3) and use that Flashbomb after he summons his allies. You should have no problem killing him now that he is this weak. Carve him twice and then kill off the remaining Velociprey and carve them if you have the time. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3b) Slay the Velociprey Hunting Quest Reward: 300z Contract: 130z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 10 VELOCIPREY FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Proud Farmer A pack of 10 Velociprey have been preying on my cows! They're too much for me to handle. Please get rid of them for me! Battle Plan...... Just go to Area 2 and 3 and kill, then to Area 5 and you should be done. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3c) The Mushroom Hunt Gathering Quest Reward: 300z Contract: 150z Time: 50 minutes Area: Jungle Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 10 SPECIAL MUSHROOMS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Botanist I finally made it! I have traveled long and far to find rare mushrooms. I need 10 Special Mushrooms for my researck. Please find them! Battle Plan...... Just head to Area 2 and watch the Mosswine. Every area with Mosswine, follow them until they stop and sniff thoroughly, then search. Make sure you get the mushrooms in Area 2, 4, 8, 9,10, and just trade with that old guy in Area 11 if you come up short. FINISH! =============================================================================== Now that you have a greater selection of quests to do, I suggest going back to the Mining Run Kelbi and gathering many items. Get enough money and go make yourself a Bone Blade. This is a big sword and requires lots of money to continue upgrading. Upgrade as much as you can until you can't any longer. You can also make the Iron Sword instead if you have enough Earth Crystals (which I doubt you do). The more ore, then your choice should be the Iron. If you have more bone than ore, then Bone should be your pick. Then buy yourself a new set of armor. Get the hunter set and if you can, get the following order: Hunter Helm Battle Mail Battle Vambraces Hunter Tasset Battle Greaves =============================================================================== (3d) Slay the Yian Kut-Ku Hunting Quest Reward: 900z Contract: 200z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE YIAN KUT-KU FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Macho Guardsman A bird'like Yian Kut-Ku is attacking people all over the place. Show me what you're made of by taking it out! Battle Plan...... Now this is a difficult task to be given to you. This is your first wyvern hunt. If you have the right weapons and armor, then you will prevail quickly. First off, you will need a decent set of armor, so if you can, make or buy yourself some. If not, then go do the Mining Run Kelbi. You should get at least the Velociprey set or Bone set. If you don't have it, this quest will be a lot tougher. Next you need the weapon. The weapon I suggest you use is the Serpentblade. You should be able to get that with the Velocidrome Claws and what not. Just make sure you have enough items to get it. You might even want the Vile Serpentblade if you want an easier wictory. That's just your option though, so go do what you have to do. If you plan doing this quest with an Assassin's Dagger, then you will have a longer fight, but hey. whatever floats your boat, right? Now here are the things that you HAVE to have: 10 Potions 10 Mega Potions 10 Herbs (optional) 10 Well-Done Steaks 1 Pitfall Trap 2 Trap Tools (optional) 2 Nets (optional) 3 Large Barrel Bombs 3 Small Barrel Bombs The Trap Tools and nets are optional because you don't need to use them unless you want a quick fight. This will be discussed later on. You can also bring along your Books of Combos if you need, but you don't need it if you don't bring your Trap Tools and Nets. WITH TRAP TOOLS AND NETS: Start the quest by grabbing everything except the ammo and huskberries. You should have lots of things in your inventory, but no worries. Now what you do is go to Area 3 and you will see it there. Start the fight off by not letting it see you and setting up a Pitfall Trap close to the nearby tree but not too close. Then put 2 Large Barrel Bombs on it. Now run to the Kut-Ku and get it's attention by throwing a Paintball at it. It should look into the air and then you will get the Eye Icon that shows it knows you are here. The main 2 areas you want to hit are the head and tail. You don't have the power to winglock or headlock, but hey... whatever. After you hit him, sheathe your weapon and lure him into your trap across the area. Once he is in, you can set a small barrel bomb and RUN AWAY. The blast will hurt you if you get hit. Now after the explosion, run up to him and just hit him completely in the face. When he escapes from the trap, you have to run away from him until he is about to land. Then throw a flashbombs at him and he will be stunned. Make sure he does his roar. You will know this when he scratches the ground with his leg. That's when you attack. When he regains conscience, run away and he should go berserk (breathes fire). Dodge his attacks until he turns to you. Throw a flashbomb and he will be stunned. Set up another Pitfall in front of him and put a large barrel bomb there. Now make sure you don't hit him. When he gets trapped, set off the bomb and just continue hitting him. If you were vigilant enough, he should die there. If not, he will retreat to Area 4. Go there when he starts limping and set up a trap beneath him (look for his shadow). When you are done setting it up, he should fall right in. This is when you set up a Large Barrel Bomb and set it off. Attack him like crazy and you should be done. WITHOUT TRAP TOOLS AND NET: Okay now this one is a little different. If you don't want to go through all the trouble and get 2 trap tools and nets, then just follow this. Remember that you still should take a Pitfall Trap with you. Go to Area 3 and get the Yian Kut-Ku's attention by painting him. Now attack him like crazy. If you need help on when to attack and when not to, refer to the Monsters section. Just attack him until he limps, then go to Area 4 and do whatever. If you take too long, Kut-Ku will do a "chicken run" and jump around when he stops, then he will fly to Area 4. If he does this, it means that you took too long and he ISN'T as weak as when he limps. Just plant the Pitfall anyways and bomb him up. FINISH! =============================================================================== NOTE: Congratulations on your first wyvern kill. This is a quest that you might want to keep doing when you get the Vile or Great Serpentblade. It makes it easier and quicker, and you get plenty of money and materials for doing it. =============================================================================== (3e) Jungle Menace Hunting Quest Reward: 950z Contract: 200z Time: 50 minutes Area : Jungle Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE YIAN KUT-KU FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Jungle Envoy My village is under attack by a large-eared, bird-like monster. I hear that its sensitive to noise. Please slay it for us! Battle Plan...... The Yian Kut-Ku starts in Area 2. You will get a cut scene and see what he looks like. Go to the bottom of Area 2 on the map and then paint him. Now flash him and back up and set up a Pitfall complete with 2 Large Barrel Bombs. Now hit and lure him into it and do what you did before. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3f) Liver of Legend Gathering Quest Reward: 600z Contract: 150z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 3 PISCINE LIVERS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Foreign Peddler I deal in rare items that I find in the desert. I've got a buyer for Water Wyvern and Sand Wyvern livers. Deliver 3 livers to me! Battle Plan...... Okay. This quest is very annoying at this stage of the game. You have a weak weapon and you can probably kill one Cephalos in 5 minutes and lose your sharpness. The only thing I ask you to bring are Cool Drinks and Sonic Bombs. You only need 2 Cool Drinks because the quest supplies you with another 2. The Sonic Bombs will bring the Cephalos to the surface in no time if you throw it close enough to them. First, start off by eating the rations and drinking a cool drink. Then grab the other drinks and go out to Area 2. The Sand Wyverns, or Cephalos, are here and in Area 7. Just run up to them (with your GS, of course) and wait. When one comes near, throw a Sonic Bomb in that direction and it should pop right onto the surface. It should flop around for a while, allowing you to put in a few good hits to it's head. When it gets up, it has some techniques to do. Just read about the Cephalos in the Monsters section. First of all, you want to attack it when it spits the sand. Another thing you would like to note is that it only turns to it's right, so it is much like the Yian Kut-Ku. Dodge it as needed and hit it some more. It might take you some time to kill it, but that's why this quest sucks. When it dies, just hope that you carve a Piscine Liver. If you don't, just keep killing more Cephalos this way until you do. If you end up with no Piscine Livers after depleting your Sonic Bomb supply, start over. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3g) Find the Wyvern Eggs! Gathering Quest Reward: 800z Contract: 200z Time: 30 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 2 WYVERN EGGS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Doctor One of the village people has fallen ill. With 2 Wyvern Eggs I could make a remedy. Please get me 2 eggs from a wyvern's nest! Battle Plan...... This quest is not much different from the previous egg quest. All you have to do is grab the egg and drop it right away. Then clear the enemies out of Areas 4, 3, 2, and 1. After doing so, go back and get another egg and follow that route to the camp. Now go back to Area 5 and do the same thing again. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3h) Trouble in the Forest Hunting Quest Reward: 450z Contract: 150z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 10 BULLFANGO FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Lumberjack These boar-monsters, the Bullfango, have been a lot of trouble lately. Can you thin the herd by 10 head? Much obliged. Battle Plan...... This quest is VERY annoying because of the Bullfango. They are so numerous an there are many in the same areas. Areas 8, 9, and 10 have Bullfango, but I suggest you just clear out areas 8 and 10 because they have a big area and not a long one. Make sure you don't stop moving. The Bullfango charge at you, so take advantage of this and let them charge each other. Then hit them with your GS or whatever weapon you have equipped. A sword for this mission is not suggested, but GS is. If need be, bring some bombs and set them next to you and when they are about to come, set a Small Barrel Bomb and run away. This is not recommended, but if you are having trouble, do it. FINISH! =============================================================================== (4star) QUEST LEVEL-4 STAR This Quest Level features quite easy tasks. It is probably easier than Quest Level 3 because of the bigger variety of weapons you can make. Prepare for another 2 wyverns and a different type of quest. There will also be new enemies, so have fun with this one. =============================================================================== (4a) The Land Shark Hunting Quest Reward: 1200z Contract: 250z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE CEPHADROME FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Town Chief Our pack-animals were eaten by something in the desert. But nobody actually saw the monsters attack! Find and slay the alpha monster! Battle Plan...... This quest is similar to the "Liver of Legend" quest, but it features a stronger and more brutal foe. The Cephadrome is a very strong Sand Wyvern, and it releases a paralyzing toxin when it flies over you. Bring the Books of Combos with you on this one. Its going to get tough. Make sure you get Large Barrel Bombs and Small Barrel Bombs along with Large Barrels and Gunpowder. Don't forget to bring Cool Drinks because this might get a little hot. The Sonic Bomb number should be at 8 because the quest supplies you with 2 anyways and 10 is the max that you can hold at once. Now onto the quest! Head off to Area 7 to find the Cephadrome in all of its glory. The Cephadrome is the black one if you didn't know. It will automatically be up on the ground, so try as hard as you can to paint him. When he buries into the sand or swims by you, throw you Sonic Bomb and he will fly onto the ground. While he is flopping about, you should plant the Large Barrel Bombs and set them off. He should be up now, so run up to him and start attacking. His attacks are exactly like the Cephalos except stronger, and when he flies across the screen and hits you, you will be paralyzed. Just attack and bomb him until he is really weak. You will know this when he jumps into the sand and flees to Area 3. Follow him and bomb him or just attack and he should die quickly. FINISH! =============================================================================== (4b) Catch a Yian Kut-Ku Capture Quest Reward: 1000z Contract: 220z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: CAPTURE THE YIAN KUT-KU FAIL CONDITIONS: IF YOU KILL THE YIAN KUT-KU REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Stren Scholar I would like you to find and capture a Yian Kut-Ku alive. I suggest using a Pitfall Trap. Good luck, and thanks in advance! Battle Plan...... Well, this is the new type of quest I was talking about earlier: a Capture quest. This time, you don't get to kill the Yian Kut-Ku, you get to catch him (pokemon!). All you need to bring are the healing items you usually bring and 2 nets and a trap tool. Also bring 3 Large Barrel Bombs and Small Barrel Bombs and the Books of Combos you have. Start the quest and grab the items in the supply box. What you don't need are the Huskberries and ammo. The other things you do need. Now go to Area 2 and clear the entire area out. You should have 5 Velociprey kills by now (I do this quest all the time). Now you have 2 choices: A) Stay here and wait until 3 minutes and 40 seconds have elapsed B) Go to Area 3 and fight right away If you choose to do option "B", then there will be no point of clearing out Area 2, so ignore that and just head off to Area 3 right away. If you do what I do and stay at Area 2 until the time left is 46:20, then the Yian Kut-Ku will come. It will land near the tree at the bottom of Area 2 on the map. Wait for him to land and paint him. He will look around but will still know you are here, so hurry and set up a Pitfall and 2 Large Barrel Bombs. When he turns around, lure him in and set them off. Then start beating him up. If you were good enough to get him to Fury Mode (breathing fire), then lure him away from the bottom of Area 2 and towards the top. If you are far enough away from him, he will fly to you, so get him between the first climbable ledge and the nearby tree there. If he is here, run to the opposite end of the tree (next to Area 3) and wait for him to do the run attack or roar. That's when you attack. If you were good and kept him here long enough and weakened him enough, he will limp and fly to area 4. If not, he will do the "Chicken Run" and fly to Area 4 anyways. Either way, run there FAST (the reason why I told you to lure him to the opposite end of Area 2 is because the Yian Kut-Ku flys away ONLY when he reaches the place where he landed, giving you enough time to run to Area 4). IF THE KUT-KU LIMPED: Place the Pitfall Trap beneath his shadow and when he is trapped, quickly throw your Tranquilier Bombs with extreme accuracy. You only need 2 to get him asleep. IF THE KUT-KU "CHICKEN RUN"-ED: Wait for the Kut-Ku to land and start hitting him. This is harder because you will have to capture him IN AREA 5! Attack until he limps and flies into Area 5 and follow him. Hurry and set up the Pitfall Trap and pray that the Velociprey won't bug you. When he is in the trap, throw the bombs and then run out of there (if you stay and the Velociprey hit Kut-Ku, he will awaken). FINISH! =============================================================================== (3c) Slay the Velociprey Pack Hunting Quest Reward: 500z Contract: 200z Time: 20 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 20 VELOCIPREY FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Proud Farmer I had you kill those 10 Velociprey, but now they're back! There's 20 of them this time. Please take care of it for me, hunter! Battle Plan...... Stick with the Assassin's Dagger and clear out areas 6 first, then 5, 3, and last is 10. 10 is infinite spawn, so have fun. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3d) Velocidrome Redux Hunting Quest Reward: 600z Contract: 220z Time: 30 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 2 VELOCIDROME FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Young Guardsman Another Velocidrome has shown up. Please take care of it for me. Wyverns have also been sighted nearby, so be very careful. Battle Plan...... The wyvern the guardsman is referring to happens to be the massive Rathalos. This wyvern is a deadly one, and it is flying around hoping to find you. Just grab some Flashbombs and start off in Area 3. Flash and attack. If the Rathalos shows up, paint and flash him. Then continue attacking the Velocidrome. When he dies, go to Area 10 and kill the other one. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3e) Bring me Eggs! Gathering Quest Reward: 1500z Contract: 200z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 3 HERBIVORE EGGS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: The Lady Gourmet I search the world for new tastes and flavors. Now I want to try Apceros Eggs. Let's start with 3. Thanks in advance! Battle Plan...... Well, this quest is probably the worst of them all. It is the first egg quest outside of the Forest and Hills zone, so it will feel different. Another reason why it is gay is that the Cephalos are still here and there are Genprey protecting Areas 2 and 7. You want to know the worst part aout this quest? The Genprey in Area 2 ALWAYS RESPAWN! YEAH! YOU HEARD ME! GAY! To start this quest off, you will need power or mega juices and well-done steaks. Plenty of well-done steaks. The least you should have for these 3 necessary items is 3. Now start off by grabbing all the supplies and head off to Area 8 (cave). Run up to the eggs and grab one. Now drop it and get out of the cave. Now search Area 7 for ANY Genprey and kill them ALL. When done, get back in Area 8 and kill the Apceros. Now go up to the eggs and eat a Well-Done Steak and drink a juice. Now grab the egg and sprint all the way to Area 2. In Area 7, hug the right wall completely so the Cephalos don't bug you. Don't worry about it, just keep hugging the right wall until you see those small twin trees. That's where you will head. REMEMBER: HUG THE RIGHT WALL. Once you reach the twin trees, you will automatically reach Area 2. From here, PRAY TO GOD (OR BUDDHA) THAT YOU WON'T GET HIT and just head to the right of area 2 (left on map). Keep sprinting and zig- zagging until you reach the Area 6 cave. Go in it and come back out right away. This repositions the Genprey and you can just head off to the camp to deliver. Now go back to Area 8 and eat and drink again and go for a nother 2 times. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3g) Attack of the Giant Bugs Hunting Quest Reward: 400z Contract: 300z Time: 50 mintes Area: Jungle Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 30 VESPOID FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Jungle Envoy My village is under attack by a swarm of 30 bug monsters. Please help! They're weak indicidually, but fomidable in a group. Battle Plan...... The Vespoid are annoying when together, so bring along that Assassin's Dagger and go to Area 9 (yup, skip the other areas). This area is big and full of respawning Vespoid, so killing them here is much easier. You can't carve them unless you deal the right amount of damage and not overkill, or poison them. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3g) Slay the Genprey! Hunting Quest Reward: 600z Contract: 200z Time: 50 minutes Area: Swamp Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 20 GENPREY FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Injured Soldier I'm too injured to go on. I'd like you to find and kill 20 Genprey in the swamp for me. Watch out, they can paralyze you...! Battle Plan...... These ferocious beasts are Velociprey on crack. They can paralyze you if they jump on you, so be careful. Just go through all the areas that aren't Areas 1, 2, and those cave areas and you will be done. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3h) Slay the Gendrome Hunting Quest Reward: 800z Contract: 250z Time: 50 minutes Area: Swamp Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 2 GENDROME FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Ambitious Noble My caravans are being hit by Genprey. 2 Gendrome are leading the pack. Kill them and make the roads safe again for all! Battle Plan...... This quest is full of surprises. The one thing the noble forgets to mentions is that the Gypceros is around here somewhere. If you happen to see it, paint it and run away. You don't want to fight something like that during a quest where you still have to kill 2 Gendrome, right? The Gendrome spawn at Area 8. Go there and kill them. FINISH! =============================================================================== (3i) Ioprey Hunting Hunting Quest Reward: 700z Contract: 220z Time: 50 minutes Area: Jungle Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 20 IOPREY FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Mine Owner We encountered a huge Iopre nest in a deep tunnel! We can't continue working unless you kill 20 of them for us! Battle Plan...... Bring your antidotes because you are now going to encounter the strongest of the preys. They take 3 hits with a Great Serpentblade to kill, so don't get yourself to high on strength. They are found in every Area. Literally everywhere. These preys have a new technique that the other 2 preys don't have: they can spit; spit poison that is... FINISH! =============================================================================== (3j) Slay the Gypceros Hunting Quest Reward: 1400z Contract: 300z Time: 50 minutes Area: Swamp Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE GYPCEROS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Guarded Merchant I saw a gigantic bird-like monster deep in the swamp! I can't do business with a thing like that in there! Please find it and kill it! Battle Plan...... For this wyvern quest, you will be facing a foe who has an awesome power. He is completely poison based and spits poison rather than the Yian Kut-Ku's fire. His attacks are like the Kut-Ku but stronger. His crystal is useful only for him. It can be useful for you if you knock it off and complete the quest, but whatever... First of all, you will need that crystal to upgrade your Vile Serpentblade to the almighty Great Serpentblade (its not that mighty for you online players). Try your best to knock it off, but don't just hit it even though you know you are going to get hit. Attack like how you would attack the Kut-Ku, except in the face :]. Now bring a Pitfall Trap, 3 Large Barrel Bombs and Small Barrel Bombs. Whatever you think you need, bring it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- = >>>!!READ THIS!!<<< = -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Yes, you don't know why I put this here. Well... you are gonna hate me for saying this, but...I have no choice but to help you guys and say it. YOU MAY NOT BRING ANY FLASHBOMBS OR BOOKS OF COMBOS. Yeah...Let that soak into your skin for a bit. Don't you hate me? Well...I found out why the hard way. You see, this awesome skill that I told you about only belongs to the Gypceros...and the Melynx. Yes that's right. This wyvern can steal your items. The only difference between the Melynx stealing and the Gypceros stealing is that the Gypceros keeps your items...no matter what. End transmission Now grab those items and go to Area 5. Don't forget that this is a wyvern we are dealing with, so go into battle with the Vile Serpentblade or whatever GS you might have. You will also learn to HATE this quest because these areas aren't protected by the all-so-weak Velociprey. They are indeed guarded by the all-so-annoying Bullfango. Now go to Area 5 and clear the Bullfango out. Then head to Area 3 and clear that out as well. Now start by looking around those 2 areas for the Gyp. When you see him, paint and run away. He should follow you. Pitfall and bomb him. If he starts snapping his mouth and spreading his wing and not fly, guard right away. He is going to flash you. Guard against it and attack some more. Keep at it until he dies. BUT WAIT! WHERE'S THE QUEST COMPLETED MESSAGE? Yes that's right. Another gay skill of the Gyp. This thing fakes it's death before actually dying, so if you are close to him, you will get hurt...BAD. Just continue attacking and he will die. If you managed to knock the LightCrystal off, you will have a higher chance of getting it as a reward. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5star) QUEST LEVEL-5 STAR Now that you have finished the Quest Level 4 Star series, you will now experience the hardest of them all: The Rath Series. I call this the Rath series because you will receive 4 quests dealing with the 2 Rath wyverns. You also get to meet your very first water wyvern: the Pleioth. Now you really need those Lightcrystals. Make sure you get a Great Serpentblade or you will have lots of trouble. If you can get a stronger weapon than that (any type, it doesn't matter), use it. Also make sure that the set of armor you have is AT LEAST the Hunter, Battle, Battle, Hunter, Battle series. This set increases defense and HP by 10, so it will help a lot. Now go out there and make us proud! =============================================================================== (5a) Attack of the Rathalos Hunting Quest Reward: 2250z Contract: 500z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE RATHALOS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Proud Soldier It cannot be...But. My entire warband was wiped out by a wyvern. Now all rests upon your shoulders, monster hunter! Slay it! Battle Plan...... Ok. This is by far the hardest quest you will EVER play up until now. You will have the most trouble dealing with this quest if you still only have that simple Assassin's Dagger. This quest requires AT LEAST a Great Serpentblade. Just go do the Mining Run Kelbi and gather other materials to upgrade your GS to the highest it can be. Good luck on this one. It took me maybe 5 tries to finish this one with a Great Serpentblade. If you have a weapon strong enough to Headlock, then by all means, BRING IT! Now if you want a successful quest, you will need the Hunter Battle set I had. Any armor set combo that is stronger, then do us a favor and bring it. Now you will also need the following items to make your life a little easier: Books of Combos (PLEASE BRING THESE!) 10 Potions 10 Mega Potions 10 Antidotes 5-10 Whetstones 10 Well-Done Steaks 3 Flash Bombs (there are 2 already) 3 Paintballs 1 Pitfall Trap 2 Trap Tools 2 Nets 3 Large Barrel Bombs 8 Small Barrel Bombs and as many Large Barrels and Small Barrels as you have (if you can't handle the damage, bring your seeds!) When you feel that you have the best armor and weapon that you can get (good luck with a gun and Sword and Shield), grab your 500z and start that quest. THE REAL BATTLE PLAN......... To start the quest off, grab all the supplies but the huskberries and ammo (unless you are using a gun). Now make sure you eat the Rations and then head off to Area 3. Here is where you will see the cut scene of Rathalos and he will be facing away from you (if this isn't your first time doing this quest, he will face you directly). Start it off by running up to him and painting him. Now, he has a number of things he will do: 1. Fly up (but stay in the same area) 2. Fly up (and out of the area) 3. Curve his neck upwards and look around to see what hit him 4. Turn around really fast If he chooses to fly up but stay in the same area, then stay here and wait next to the entrance to Area 4 (to the right of the incline next to the rocks). If he chooses to fly to a different area, he will go to 9, 10, or 4. If he curves his neck to look around, he will do either of the other 3 options. If he turns around really fast, he will execute his Run Attack, which hurts a lot. To counter this, just block (which will drop your stamina dangerously along with some of your health), or run to the side. Then, either A) Wait for him to do his next attack B) Run up and put in a few hits If you keep waiting for him, then just wait until he does his fireball. NOTE: The turn speed for the Raths show what they might do next. If the Rath turns really fast, they will Run (unless you are right next to them. Then they will bite.). If they turn slow, they will do the Fireball attack. This will help you tremendously. I know I didn't notice this until around Try #3/5. One thing you don't want to do is follow him to Area 9. If you can handle the continuous respawning Melynx population there, then just do it. If you can't then just wait at Area 3. Besides, Area 9 is a VERY bad area to fight with the small narrow paths and what not. If he goes to Area 10, he will get all the Felyne on you. They will attack with no mercy, just like in Area 9. This is another bad area to fight, but hey..What the heck. If you can handle it, then do it. The areas where you WILL HAVE to fight are Areas 3 and 4. I used 4 to kill him AND cut off his tail. You can cut off his tail with any weapon but hammers (that's what I'm told). What I suggest is Flashing him and when you KNOW that he is roaring (scratches the ground with foot), go for the tail. With enough hits, it'll come off like nothing, but you can still get poisoned by his claw attack. HERE IS THE LIST OF ATTACKS AND NON-LETHAL ATTACKS THAT RATHALOS CAN DO: O=========================================================O O Execution | Rate | When it happens O O=========================================================O Run Attack Very Often When it turns fast Fireball Often When it turns slow Fly Away Very Often Almost anytime during the quest Fly Up Often Almost anytime during the quest Claws (fly) Rare Random Fireballs Rare Random (fly) Flying Rape Often Anytime during the quest Roar Rare When he is hurt enough O=========================================================O O Explanations O O=========================================================O Run Attack- VERY DEVASTATING ATTACK where the Rath turns it's head really fast towards you, usually taking 2 turns and running at you. It requires a block or dodge to prevent maximum damage. It is very common, so beware. Fireball - DEVASTATING ATTACK where the Rath turns it's head slowly towards you, usually taking 2 turns and shooting a Fireball at you. The Rathian can shoot 3 Fireballs at a time if it wants to and it travels from (it's) middle, right, and left. Beware of this attack. It is also common after the Rath flys at you and lands. Fly Away - This is no silly move and it forces you to travel from area to area just to catch it. The Rath executes this move FAR more than the Rathian does. If you see that the Rath is about to flap it's wings, prepare to move out. Fly Up - When you are far enough from the Rath and it is too far of a distance to Run to you, so it will Fly to you. Get out of it's path and when it lands, strike or wait for the Fireball. Claws(fly)- This attack is used only when the Rath is flying up. When it is stationed in the same place but ascends, it will turn slowly towards you, and can do this or the Fireballs (fly). This attack is used when you are close enough to it, so hide behind something or block. When it is done, it will descend peacefully, letting you throw a Flashbomb or something. Fireballs - This attack is used only when the Rath is flying up. When it is (fly) stationed in the same place but ascends, it will turn slowly towards you, and can do this or the Claw (fly). This attack is used when you are too far for the Rath to do the Claws (fly). Just wait for it to shoot 3 Fireballs and it will descend peacefully, letting you throw a Flashbomb or something. Flying - This attack is done when the Rath flys around the area, usually for Rape the Rathalos. When it flys around Area 3, it will make 2 circles and ALWAYS end up on Area 4 (on the map, but still in Area 3). Then it will fly towards you location and swoop down and try to rape you quickly. Hide behind something to dodge it. In Area 4, it will execute this move at Area 2 (on map, but still in Area 4). Hide behind the ginormous rock until it is done. For the other areas, I have not tested it yet. Roar - This move is not lethal towards you, but can be very dangerous because you will be open for a devastating attack from the Rath if you are in range for the Roar. The Rath roars when it is: A) Attacked at the beginning of the Quest B) Hurt enough and is now in Berserk mode Now there are special moves that each Rath can do. The Rathalos can fly into the air and shoot a fireball at the same time if you are close enough. The Rathian will step backwards and execute a backflip, causing the poison status effect if you are close enough. These attacks are both unexpected for the weak ones, so get used to this quest. There is no easy way to explain this quest and help you because it depends on how long you take and what you have on and with you. If you have what I had(Hunter Battle set + Great Serpentblade), then it will still not end up like how mine did because we obviously think differently. Just read this carefully and then start the quest. If you still can't handle it, maybe you need more practice. And don't forget, the Rathalos will sleep at Area 5 (it's nest). Pitfall and bomb it there for the win. If not, go to Area 4 and 6. The Rath uses EVERY area except Areas 1, 7, 8, 11, and 12. That leaves Areas 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 for you to check if your paintball should have worn off. Also, when a wyvern (any wyvern) limps, that means it is gonna die, so hurry up and follow it. Good luck, and if you need anymore help, please e-mail and what not. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5b) Catch a Rathalos Capture Quest Reward: 2500z Contract: 500z Time: 50 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: CAPTURE THE RATHALOS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Selfish Princess I'm keeping that wyvern as a pet! So hands off! Now I want a male wyvern. And I want it ALIVE, OK? Battle Plan...... Ok, sure she wants it alive, and if it isn't there goes you money and all those items you used on this quest. First of all, this quest if easier than the "Attack of the Rathalos" quest in several ways. The first is that Area 2 is NOT filled with those pesky Velociprey. Then theres Area 9, where Melynx have left. This means that Area 9 is now a new fighting area. Although this might seem really easy, it's still the same enemy, so don't get too cocky. Start the battle off by bringing the SAME items you did for the "Attack of the Rathalos" quest EXCEPT for the Pitfall Trap and 2 Trap Tools. Just bring 1 Trap Tool and you should be good. Please don't forget the nets :[. Now follow the above strategy except with a few exceptions. 1. Don't neglect Area 9. The Melynx are out of there now. 2. Always leave a Pitfall for the capture. Don't use them all. 3. When it limps, stop attacking it and go to Area 4 and 5. 4. When you get it in the Pitfall, throw your Tranq Bombs and make damn sure you hit it! It takes 2 to get it asleep. That's pretty much it. Make sure that you also restock on items before going on this quest. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5c) Deliver Three Wyvern Eggs Gathering Quest Reward: 200z Contract: 300z Time: 30 minutes Area: Forest and Hills Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 3 WYVERN EGGS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Battle Plan...... This is a fairly decent quest and isn't as big of a pain as the Herbivore Egg quest in Quest Level 4 Star. Just bring as many Power and Mega juices as you have along with Well-Done Steaks. This took me up to 5 minutes left to complete because Rathalos kept showing up out of nowhere. If you catch him anywhere during the quest, make sure you paint him. Then go on with the egg dropping and clearing out areas 3, 2, 6, and 1. PLEASE clear out area 6 because if you don't and Rathalos occupies area 3, then you will have to go through Area 6, where some Velociprey live. If you don't know how to get from the top to the bottom of the cliff without destroying your egg, then by all means, listen to what I have to say. If you are taking the fun but dangerous route (Area 6,2,1), please read this: From the nest, eat your steak and drink your juice and head out to area 6. From here, you will have to get to the bottom without dropping it. This might seem impossible to you, but if you were smart at anytime during the entire game, you could see that at the very bottom, you can see a route just by adjusting your camera twice (at the bottom of Area 6 during any quest, adjust camera twice using up on d-pad. Look directly at the cliffs) You can see short and long drops, but the longs drops are safe enough to not break that egg. Now, this is what you are going to do. Get to Area 6 and look at the ground and you will see the blackish brownish stain. From there, use the d-pad and push down until you are right behind the head of your hunter. You see those short drops in front of the stain. Use those to get to the big ditch where the mining point is. Now from here, go to the edge and drop again onto a short drop. Then you will have to drop to the left (right on map). You might not be able to see it, but its there. Drop left completely until you are at the bottom (hug the wall) and remember: DON'T SPRINT AT ALL DURING THIS PART. Done! You made it to the bottom. Now go out to Area 2 and drop down onto the smaller ledge to the left and then to the ground and make your way to camp. This should be done when Rathalos camps Area 3 and 2. When he is at Area 2, he will most likely fly to Area 6, and you will already be near the bottom of Area 6, so... good job. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5d) Gendrome Redux Hunting Quest Reward: 1100z Contract: 300z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 3 GENDROME FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Desert Lord A pack of monsters led by Gendrome is causing trouble for us. Please hunt down and slay the 3 Gendrome. Battle Plan...... This is another easy Gendrome quest. Just look around the non-sandy areas (not in Area 2 and 7) first. You don't have to worry about the caves, they don't go there. If you can't find them, then resort to looking in the sand areas. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5e) Fang of the Iodrome Hunting Quest Reward: 1200z Contract: 300z Time: 50 minutes Area: Jungle Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY 3 IODROME FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Jungle Envoy My village is under attack by a pack of Ioprey. The pack is led by 3 alpha monsters. Slay the poison-filled creatures for us! Battle Plan...... Ah...the Strongest Drome there is. The Iodrome is probably twice as difficult as the Velocidrome because of it's health and power. If this thing jumps on you, it'll deal a fair amount of damage. It also spits the poison more often than the Ioprey, so just watch out for big packs of Ioprey. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5f) Water Wyvern in the Desert Hunting Quest Reward: 1400z Contract: 300z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE PLESIOTH FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Proud Hunter I found a giant water wyvern in a cave in the desert! I can't defeat it because it stays underwater. Slay it and the credit's yours! Battle Plan...... Oh boy. This quest is a very difficult one. You won't expect the Pleisoth to be that size, but it is. If you thought the Rathalos was big, good god you were wrong. If your hunter stood next to it, you would only be as tall as his legs. You were twice as tall as the Rathalos's legs. Now for this quest, you really want to bring all the Frogs you have. You cannot finish this quest without your frogs. Bring you Books of Combos, Pitfall Trap, Trap Tools, Nets, and healing items. Also note that this is like a Cephalos, so those Sonic Bombs will be needed. This quest WILL get a little rough, so if you have bad armor, then I suggest you get a new set because this thing WILL kill you in 2 hits. Trust me. I know... Now if you don't have any frogs, then just head to Area 4 in the desert DURING the quest to find them. They are by the pond next to the small rocks. Grab them and go into Area 5. Watch the cut scene and you will wonder "Hrmmm. That is exactly like a Cephalos. What is Peekuhchew9090 thinking?!" Yeah. Well, take a closer look when he's on the ground. Drink you hot drink and drop down. Try to kill the Genprey without getting paralyzed, or you will suffer badly. The Plesioth can stay in the water and land, and shoots water BEAMS instead of just spitting sand at you. Lucky for you, it doesn't leave Area 5. It just goes to the back of the cave, and the area where you fight! That means you don't have to waste your paintballs :]! Alright, now start to lay down a pitfall and bombs around the middle of the island you are on. Now get near the edge and hope the Plesioth sees you. Now it will hopefully come halfway out of the water and shoot it's beam of water, so that's when you throw your sonic bomb. It will fly onto the land where you will meet it in a clash (I was bored). Hit it's head the entire time it is flopping until it stands up. That's when you will see the TRUE power of the Plesioth (how big IS that thing?!!!). Lure it into the Pitfall Trap you set. Blast the bombs and continue hitting the head. When it gets out, it will most likely get back into the water, so wait at the edge of the water when he jumps in. If the eye icon next to your name disappears, then you know its time...for Fishing. Use the frog and lure him out. Catch him and you will somehow pull the Plesioth out of the water. Run up and attack again. If you managed to damage him enough, then he will be a big ol' baby, so keep on attacking and hope you win! FINISH! =============================================================================== (5g) Queen of the Desert Hunting Quest Reward: 1800z Contract: 350z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE RATHIAN FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Influential Noble I have traveled far to find a hunter capable of ridding my lands of a troublesome wyvern. Please defeat the Rathian for us. Battle Plan...... Just bring the items you brought to fight Rathalos. This quest is much like that one except you have to fight almost everywhere but the sand areas. In each area you fight, there is always a troublesome minion, some being Genprey, the others being those Apceros. I died once because of those oversized cows... Now just go from area to area until you find her and paint her. You will fight her more than you would fight Rathalos, so that's the cool thing. Rathian makes up for this with her tri-ball attack, where she fires 3 fireballs instead of 1. She can still fire 1 fireball at a time, but has the ability to give off 3, so be careful. When you get the chance, pitfall her. She runs around a lot, so you might not get the chance, but there's no problem in trying, right?... Yeah, I didn't think so. Now fight until you get her on berserk. Then you know that you now stand a chance. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5h) Slay the Rathian Hunting Quest Reward: 1900z Contract: 350z Time: 50 minutes Area: Swamp Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE RATHIAN FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Charitable Man The monsters in the swamp zone are out of control, the Rathian in particular. I want you to hunt one down. Casualties are spiraling! Battle Plan...... Start this one off by clearing out the areas with Bullfango in them. Those are the only areas you can get cleared. The Io-Genprey combination areas are respawn areas, so try not to fight there. Follow the strategy above and you should be done, but incase you have to fight where the preys reside, BRING YOUR FLASHBOMBS! FINISH! =============================================================================== (5i) Basarios: Unseen Peril Hunting Quest Reward: 1400z Contract: 300z Time: 50 minutes Area: Volcano Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE BASARIOS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Survivor A wyvern attacked my expedition from out of the blue in the volcanic zone. Where did it come from? Please slay it! Battle Plan...... This quest is full of mining points, so bring your pickaxes and your antidotes. Mine at the areas you can find or just read Tidus 4:15's mining points faq. Now head over to Area 2 where you will meet you maker...i mean basarios. Now kill all the Ioprey here and head to the middle of the Area. You will see a small set of 3 rocks, the middle is the biggest (even though all 3 rocks are really small). Hit this (or throw a stone that you mined) and watch the fatty awaken. He is VERY slow, so you will have no trouble dodging his attacks. Just don't stay near him too long or he will poison you. If he happens to pull out his beam attack, say goodbye if you are in the way. This thing WILL hurt, so I suggest dodging immediately. The only thing I know for sure about Basarios is that YOU SHOULD NOT STAY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HIM (DON'T STAY IN FRONT OF HIM!)! This will lead to you being cooked or trampled (beam or run attack). Until then, just attack and you will emerge victorious. FINISH! =============================================================================== (5j) Horn of the Monoblos Hunting Quest Reward: 3400z Contract: 800z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE MONOBLOS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Royal Envoy Rumor has it the hunters here are among the best. A Monoblos has laid our soldiers low. Now we need your help. Slay it for us! Battle Plan...... WOW I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET THIS FAR!! Geez. Well, bring all the items you need INCLUDING Sonic Bombs and Large Barrel Bombs and Small Barrel Bombs and what not. Don't even think about bringing those Pitfalls because I didn't tell you to. They don't work on Monolos anyways. Now grab the supplies and clear out the areas that aren't sandy or caves. Now head off to Area 10 to meet your other maker. This quest will get you past the main game and reveal you as the Hero of Kokoto. Remember that this Monoblos is the last wyvern you will be fighting unless you get the secret quests, which means that it is obviously STRONGER than the Rathalos. If you can't handle a Rathalos, then try your luck with a different game. Once you are ready, get your items and go start the quest. Well, this quest will suck if you don't have a great weapon, so get a better weapon first! Now grab the supplies and it's OFF to Area 10! Here is where you will see the Monoblos, the craziest wyvern you will ever meet for now. Just start off by taking a good look at him, then you will know what to do. Yup, that wyvern sure has a big horn. Maybe if you took it, you might get it? Yeah that's right. You are gonna have to knock that horn off of him so you get it 1/1 times. Yup. 100% is a good percentile. Now right when you regain control of your hunter, pull out your paintballs and paint him right away. This will help you from being raped from under the surface. Now if he does try to burrow and come up from under you, grab your sonic bombs quickly and throw one at him right when he fits his entire body underground. He should pop right up onto the land. This is your chance. Grab your Large Barrel Bombs and set them nice and high. You don't have to spread them out because it will kill valuable time. Just blow them up and get ready for his retaliation. One thing I suggest you do is run against the walls until he runs for you, then dodge and he will get stuck in the wall. You can also plant bombs this way and then aim for his tail. If it comes off and the nasty wyvern pulls himself out of the wall, you will want to get him stuck again so that you will be safe for your carves. If he doesn't get out, quickly carve it. After doing that quick carve strat, start on his horn and hit it while he is stuck in the wall. When that comes off, there's nothing much left but to aim for his head. If he burrows again, use your Sonic Bombs. Continue this method until your final wyvern is finally a finale :]. FINISH! =============================================================================== Now that you have finished the Monoblos quest, you can either go back and gather money for better weapons and armor, get ready for online play, or finish the secret quests. These secret quests are somewhat difficult, hence the name "Secret Quests." You won't get by them that easily, seeing that you have a carry quest and 4 wyvern quests. You will also receive the Hunter's Citation from the Village Chief, used to upgrade the Hunter's Blade. Upgrading this weapon is worth every zeni, and there is no other use for that Citation, so what the heck. Now each secret quest requires something special to do. Here's what you have to do. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | S"E"C"R"E"T"Q"U"E"S"T"S" | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ______________________________________________________________________________ |T"H"E"R"U"N"A"W"A"Y"D"I"A"B"L"O"S" - Requires One piece of Monoblos armor | \ / / \ |T"H"E"S"H"A"D"O"W"I"N"T"H"E"C"A"V"E - Requires One piece of Vespoid armor | \ / / \ |T"E"R"R"O"R"O"F"T"H"E"G"R"A"V"I"O"S"- Requires One piece of Cephalos armor | \ / / \ |H"A"N"D"L"E"W"I"T"H"C"A"R"E" - Requires "Terror of the Gravios" | | COMPLETED!!! | \ / / \ |T"R"O"U"B"L"E"S"O"M"E"P"A"I"R" - Requires all quests and Secret quests | \ COMPLETED!!! | /_____________________________________________________________________________/ =============================================================================== (6a) The Runaway Diablos Hunting Quest Reward: 3200z Contract: 800z Time: 50 minutes Area: Desert Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE DIABLOS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Border Captain A giant wyvern smashed the border wall and ran into this area. We need to find and kill it before it causes anymore trouble! Battle Plan...... Just repeat the strategy used in the 5 star quest "Horn of the Monoblos." The only difference is that the Diablos has 2 horns (cool) and gives less carves. FINISH! =============================================================================== (6b) The Shadow of the Cave Hunting Quest Reward: 2250z Contract: 700z Time: 50 minutes Area: Swamp Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE KHEZU FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Noble Lady A child is lost in the caves. We want to rescue him, but a gray wyvern is in the area... Please slay the beast! Battle Plan... This is really not a difficult task, but you are dealing with a VERY ugly beast. This thing is like as ugly as your grandmother's feet! REALLY! Before beginning the mission, you will need as many healing items, bombs, sonicbombs, and Hot Drinks as you can get. These will all come in handy while fighting the horror, but to make your life easier, you can also bring a set of Lightning Resistant armor. The Khezu is very strong with it's lightning attacks, and can slay you quickly. Lucky for you, that thing has a BIG weakness, which just so happens to be Fire. Lucky for you, you killed the Rathalos once, basically twice because you captured it already. That means you are tough enough to best it, so the materials that Rath's give you will be helpful when upgrading weapons into Fire Weapons. If you can make a fire weapon, MAKE IT. Even if you show up with a Fire Sword and Shield, just go for it! It will help you! It will probably be as effective as the Great Serpentblade against this thing! Now that you know what you should have, enter the swamp and get to Area 8. Drink a Hot Drink before entering the cave. You will see it at the top of the cave unless it already bailed out on you for another cave. Once you reach it, paint it and start attacking it. There will NOT be an eye icon next to your name because the Khezu doesn't have any eyes! This make it harder for you to know if it knows you are here, so paint it to make it easier. While you are attacking, the Khezu can do many things, and all of which hurt you. These attacks will cause much pain, so I suggest that you dodge it to the best of your ability. Don't bother setting a Pitfall Trap because it will rarely work because the Khezu often leaves the caves. If you see the Khezu at the top (literally) of the cave and go directly underneath it, good luck, because that will inflict loads of damage. If the Khezu sticks it's tail to the ground, then start running away. It will generate a lightning shield, preventing you from getting any closer to it. When it is done, run in quickly and set up a large barrel bomb. Detonate it with a small barrel bomb and continue attacking. It should give you enough time to set it up. If not, then do it right when the Khezu inserts it's tail into the ground. If you choose to do it this way, forget about detonating and just set up the large barrels and run away. The lightning shield will detonate the bombs for you, leaving you with extra small barrel bombs. Continue this strategy until you see the mutation limp. That's when you throw your sonic bombs. It will kill the wyvern instantly (I have no idea why you couldn't just throw one at the beginning of the quest). FINISH! =============================================================================== (6c) Terror of the Gravios Hunting Quest Reward: 3800z Contract: 800z Time: 50 minutes Area: Volcano Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE GRAVIOS FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Troubled Noble A fearsome Gravios has appeared amidst the magma and desolation of the volcanic zone. Slay the firebreather for us! Battle Plan...... This beast is very similar to the Basarios but different in some ways. One way is that it is not a big rock, so don't expect a slow wyvern. Another difference between the 2 is that the Gravios is not a poison wyvern, but a sleep wyvern. The gas it emits is completely sleep. The last reason is that the Basarios never got the chance to use it's laser attack if you killed him quick. Now you get to witness the laser of the Gravios a LOT more, and this quest might take you some time, so you should expect to see the laser maybe once every 2 minutes (jk). Head off to Areas 5 and 7 to search for him. Just attack it's tail until it comes off, then Pitfall it if you want the carves right away. Now run up to it aim for the face. When it exits the Pitfall, run back and wait for his attack. After doing the attack, run up and attack. Pitfall if you need the extra damage and hope that he doesn't hit you with the laser. Until then, you might die because you aren't used to this torture. Anything else that I didn't mention should be in the 5 star quest "Basarios: Unseen Peril"(5g). FINISH! =============================================================================== (6d) Handle with Care! Gathering Quest Reward: 3000z Contract: 500z Time: 50 minutes Area: Volcano Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: DELIVER 1 POWDERSTONE FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Royal Armorer We need large amounts of explosives to make Bowgun ammo. I want you to bring 1 Powderstone here to me. And be careful about it! Battle Plan...... This is where the going gets tough. You won't actually get the chance to finish this quest ever again, but in case you do, tell me how many times you finished it offline. This features the volcano area, where you will find a Powderstone in Area 8. From here, you get to carry it back to the camp and deliver it. Doesn't sound hard right? Well anyone who actually reads the quest info would see that the time limit is 50 minutes. Why would you need 50 minutes to deliver 1 Powderstone? Well, if you took some time to think about it, you would realize that this quest might take some carries. You are looking at the worst carry quest out there. If you thought the herbivore egg quest was gay, oh dear lord, you have not seen ANYTHING yet. In this quest, you are looking at maybe... dropping a total of 3 or more Powderstones. Yeah that's right. Now here's what you want to do. Bring your Cool Drinks and your Maga Juices. NO POWER JUICES ALLOWED. Mega Juices all the way for this quest. If you happen to drop 5 Powderstones, then say goodbye to your Mega Juices :[. Start actually reaching Area 8 and grabbing your Powderstone. Drop it immediately and clear out areas 7, 6, and 1. If you are thinking about why I didn't include area 4, then I will explain. That's because you CAN'T clear that area, and it is filled with Ioprey. Those things just keep on spitting poison at you until you get hit. How will you ever pass this quest? Well, just run through that route unless you have a better idea. Then tell me ([email protected]). Until then, live with it. You are never gonna unlock Troublesome Pair unless you actually finish this, so good luck. FINISH? =============================================================================== (OMG) Troublesome Pair Hunting Quest Reward: 6400z Contract: 1240z Time: 50 minutes Area: Swamp Special Conditions: None OBJECTIVES: SLAY THE RATHALOS AND RATHIAN FAIL CONDITIONS: REWARD ZERO, TIME OVER Requestor: Village Chief My, how you've become a fine hunter! I have a job for you. I want you to hunt down a pair of wyverns, a Rathalos and a Rathian. Battle Plan...... Witness the awesomely destructive power of MONSTER HUNTER! You will NEVER EVER IN THE WORLD have to do a quest this difficult! If you actually think you are up to it and know the hunter world that well, then you should step up to this quest. If you can't handle beating a Rathalos or Rathian a second time, then please GOD go back and beat them. Even if you killed the Rathalos in less than 10 minutes, you will have a hard time with this quest. I didn't finish this quest yet, so I'm hoping I will when I get back into this game.Just hope that you have a good enough weapon to headlock. If you need headlocking tips, then you just got yourself a new teacher! This teacher is Terragen who submitted the Headlock FAQ. Try that on for size. Now just head to the Rathalos's location and start with him. If you want him to stop flying around, then kill him. Then find the Rathian and slay her.They are a VERY POWERFUL DUO, so if you don't want them meeting up together in Area 3, then I suggest you kill one first. If you have any Fire Resistant Armor, bring it. You WILL need it. Good luck and have fun. More tips are located on the 5 star quest "Attack of the Rathalos". FINISH!

I had and still have a Hunter Battle set. This consists of: Hunter Helm Battle Mail Battle Vambraces Hunter Tasset Battle Greaves It allows a boost in HP and defense. Skills: HP +10 DEFENSE +10 There are many other groups, but this one gives the defense that I want. Some sets also give this boost, but they consist of weak armor. I prefer this one. It helps me with almost everything I need to do. If you have an armor set that is OFFLINE and you want to share, please do so. My AIM and e-mail are posted everywhere on this walkthrough. Take your time and look through the guide. =============================================================================== (ABCDEF) Item Combinations Here is a list of the combinations in the game.
