The hardest quests in the Monster Hunter series are arguably the Elder
Urgents. Some may say Fatalis, some may say the Powderstone. I personally
believe the Elder Urgents are the hardest for one reason: They're a quest from
the next * level. So if you're currently ***, to get to the next star, you'd
have to complete a **** quest. And since you don't have armor or weapons from
**** wyverns, it requires more skill to beat.

The Elder Urgents in MHF2 are Giadrome, Khezu, Blagonga, and Tigrex.

How to Read... ([hR])/
____________________/

No, I'm not teaching you how to read. If you're playing this game and reading
this guide, you should've learned that if nothing else.

I'm going to show you how to read this guide.

Title: What the quest is called.

Reward: How much zenny you get for hunting the monster

Contract Fee: How much money you must give away to hunt the monster. This is
refunded DOUBLE upon quest completion. 

Time Limit: How much time you have to complete the quest.

Location: Where the quest takes place.

Main Monsters: One of these monsters will be the monster you're hunting,
the other one is the minions that will be along for the fight. (e.x. Blagonga
and Blango)

Quest Level: How many * the quest is.

Goal Condition: What you have to do to complete the quest.

Items to Bring: A big long list of first-timer items. As you get better,
you'll need less items.

Suggested Weapon: What weapon screws up your enemy the most. All weapons will
be available at that point in the game. Hard-to-get weapons include how to get
them.
How-to: The most important part: The strategy!

Title: The Carnivorous Leader

Reward: 900z

Contract Fee: 150z

Time Limit: 50mins

Location: SnwyMntains(Day)

Main Monsters: Giadrome and Giaprey

Quest Level: **

Goal Condition: Hunt the Giadrome

Items to Bring: Potions X2

Suggested weapon: Any melee weapon! Anything that works for you works against
him.

How-to: This guy is a pushover. Go ahead. Push him over. If this is your first
time fighting him, he'll be in area 6, along with a cutscene. If you've fought
him before, he'll run through areas 6, 7, 8, and then back to 6 in that order.
The best place to fight him is 8 because there are no Giaprey in this area.
But you can fight him in any area really. 

This guy handles like a Giaprey. His attacks are EXACTLY the same.
The differences? He's bigger than a Giaprey, he doesn't flinch after every
hit, he runs to a different area when he's about to die, and his ice spit
will freeze you into a snowman. Sound difficult? No way! Paintball him and get
used to dodging his attacks. Then follow him around and slash at him from the
side. Repeat until he runs away. If you do get snowballed, use a Thawing
Agent. Follow his dot to another area and continue slashing until dead.
Carve him twice and get ready for some REAL quests.

Title: The Shadow in the Snow

Reward: 2100z

Contract Fee: 350z

Time Limit: 50mins

Location: SnwyMntains(Day)

Main Monsters: Khezu and Giaprey

Quest Level: ***

Goal Condition: Hunt the Khezu

Items to Bring: Mega Potion X10, Paintball X4, Psychoserum X3 Shock Trap

Suggested weapon: Wyvern Blade "Fall." This weapon is created by upgrading
your Bone Katana to "Shark" and then using Treshi's Boat (obtainable from
the downloads) to go to the Jungle. If you're lucky, he'll have
FireWyvernFluid. Flame Sacs are obainable from the Kut-Ku quests. All
materials are available before beating the Khezu. Can't download? Any
decent ranged weapon works. Try Kut Ku Stave or Wild Bow!

How-to: This guy is not a pushover. For one, he's to big to push over.
Not to mention his evilness. I still have trouble with this quest.
Once you have all the required items, start the quest. He'll be in area 3 if
this is your first time. Otherwise, he goes between 7,6, and 3, not in that
order. You can't get around the Giaprey this time, so get to the area before
he does and kill some of the Giaprey. Yes, he flies VERY, VERY SLOWLY! So
when you find him, paintball him, and watch out.

He has some attacks that are almost as nasty as he is. For one, he can shoot
three electric blasts along the ground which spread out. This is his most
damaging attack! It may one-shot you with bad armor, it cannot be blocked,
and may cause paralysis. Your warning is that he begins to "charge up"
electricity around his mouth, and anchors his tail to the ground.
If you are near his wings, you will sent flying and be hit for some very minor
damage. He can also fling himself through the air, this will not damage you if
you are standing next to him. If he's enraged, this will do HUGE damage and
will be accompanied by an electric shock. He can also do the regular tailspin
(easier to dodge than normal) and bite. His neck will extend and may hit even
when you think it won't. He can also do a roar, which you can block if you
see him stand up straight. He also has a neck thrust which can do some damage
if you're standing in front of him. Now what am I forgetting? Oh yeah.
His electric forcefield of doom. Yes, doom. you know he's gonna start when you
some static electricity around him and he anchors his tail to the ground. If
you see that, GET OUT OF THERE! This can do some bad damage and is really bad
if your last L. Sword attack just bounced off, in which case there is no way
you can be saved. When you see him pause for a longer time than normal, you
know his death is near. Keep your Paintball fresh and keep swinging at him
until he dies or flies away, most likely to area 3. If you see him go that
way, get to area 3 ASAP and clear out the Giaprey. He should land and then
go to sleep if he doesn't notice you. If he goes to sleep, only let him do
so for a moment! He won't regain health and he will take much more damage
from your next attack. Wail on him until dead. He gives three carves. His back
can be broken. Too bad it doesn't make him need a wheelchair. Now get ready
for some quests that should be easy if you defeated this character. Easy save
for Plesioth. Ewww, I hate that thing.

Title: The Ruler of the Snow

Reward: 3000z

Contract Fee: 500z

Time Limit: 50mins

Location: SnwyMntains(Day)

Main Monsters: Blagonga and Blango

Quest Level: ****

Goal Condition: Hunt the Blagonga

Items to Bring: Shock Trap, Mega Potion X5, Paintball X5, Well-Done Steak X2

Suggested weapon: Wild Bow I or a good bowgun. Melee users should use Wyvern
Blade "Fall"

How-to: This one is not a pushover, but he isn't as evil (or ugly) as the
Khezu. His attacks do take some getting used to. He will go between areas 6,
7, and 8, not necessarily in that order. If this is your first battle, he'll
be in 7 along with a battalion of Blangos. In this case, 6 is the best place
to fight him, because part of the time there are no Blangos. Notice the word
PART. Paintball him, but be prepared to Paintball him again in the near
future.

His attacks are very different from his pink buddy Congalala. The only
attacks they share is the claw swipe. Sorry. But Blagonga does have some cool
moves. (Ya get it? Cool moves? He's an Ice monster! Ha Ha Ha...) His most
dangerous attack is his Slip-n-slide tackle. Your only warning is he lifts his
arm in the air. The he'll launch himself at you, claw swipe, trip, do a 360
spin on the ice before stopping. This can hit you from far away and does HUGE
damage. He can also run at you the way the Blangos do, which does almost as
much damage as the SNST. He may slam the ground, damaging you if you are close
and momentarily stunning you. He may lift an ice chunk in the air, which
breaks into three shards and may snowman you if you are hit by it. He may
spray ice in the area in front of him, which sometimes causes the snowman
status. Also, he can "wipe" the Paintball off him, so be sure to keep that
fresh. If you do enough damage, he will enter rage mode, which ups his speed
and damage. If he roars, he may make Blangos come out of the ground. 
Eventually, he will limp. When that happens, make a beeline for area 3. Clear
out the Blangos and wait for his entrance. Kill him and carve him thrice.
His claws, tail, and fang can be cut off/broken.

Title: Absolute Power
 
Reward: 4500z
 
Contract Fee: 750z
 
Time Limit: 50 mins
 
Location: SnwyMntains(Night)
 
Main Monsters: Tigrex and Blango
 
Quest Level: *****
 
Goal Condition: Hunt the Tigrex
 
Items to bring: Potions X10, Mega Potions X10, Shock Trap, Pitfall Trap,
Genprey fang X2, Trap Tool X2.
 
Suggested Weapon: Since the Tigrex is a fast monster, melee is suggested.
Your best shot of beating him is with a Devil Slicer or True Devil Slicer.
Eager Cleaver is OK.
 
How-to: 
 
If you aren't a particually experienced player, this battle will be quite
difficult. Basically, dont be greedy and wait for a perfect opportunity to 
attack, or else you're mincemeat. Use your shock traps, and aim for the head
or the claws. When he becomes angry, dont try to attack him, just dodge,
because he can do heaps of damage. He normally only goes to 6, 7 and 8, but on
rare occasions, he will go to 1, and when he is weak, he will to go three and
sleep. Be very patient when fighting the Tigrex. He charges at you a lot, and
after he hits the brakes, attack him twice with triangle, and then
triangle+circle and roll. If he is angry, he will start running, then skid
and turn. He can only do this three times, so after, slam his head. Your best
bet of killing him is to keep attacking his head, and to use all your shock
traps at the start. If he goes to three when he isn't weak, go there and
pitfall him.
 
After the Tigrex limps away, he will go to three. If you muck this up, there's
a good chance that you will lose. Wait a bit after he enters the area. Go in
and he should be asleep. Place a pitfall trap and hit him on the head. Now be
very careful, because this is a very small area, and if he throws rocks at
you, its very dangerous. Stand behind the pitfall and wait. Then, attack his
head. If you get in a spirit blade or 2, he should fall to your might.
 
You can break the Tigrex's head, both claws, and tail. Enjoy being a legendary
hunter!
