Information and Tips: Deserted Island

Master the Deserted Island in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate! Learn about shortcuts, secrets, and survival tips to make your hunts easier. Focus on traps and bombs!

Hey there! So, you're heading to the Deserted Island in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate? Think of it as the 'quest' version of Moga Woods. It's this ancient forest surrounded by tall cliffs, with bits of old civilization peeking through the trees. It's got both open land and some pretty big underwater spots, making it one of the most spread-out and clear areas in the game, besides the arenas.

You'll run into some common monsters here like Aptonoth, Bnahabra, Altaroth, Kelbi, Ludroth, Epioth, Jaggi, and Jaggia. Nothing too scary for a seasoned hunter, but good to know who's around!

Survival Tips

Honestly, the Deserted Island isn't tricky. You don't really need any special items to get by. My advice? Ditch those hot and cold drinks from your pack to make room for more traps, bombs, or barrels. Trust me, you'll want the extra space.

The best part about this island is how many resources you can find. Herbs, mushrooms, and honey are scattered everywhere, so whipping up a new potion when you're in a bind is never a problem.

Shortcuts & Secrets

Want to shave some time off your journey? Here are a couple of tricks:

• Base Camp to Area 9: When you start at base camp, just leap into the water and swim straight ahead. Look for an opening just below the surface – swim through it, and bam! You're in Area 9. Super handy.
• Finding the Veggie Elder: If you enter Area 4 from the south, you'll drop into a cave. Keep an eye out along the right wall for a crawl space. Duck into it, and you'll find a small Felyne camp. The Veggie Elder hangs out here when he's not at Base Camp.
