Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Wrath of the Rathian
    Objective: Hunt a Rathian.
    Location: Verdant Hills.
    Subquest: Wound Rathian’s head.
    Notes: Rathian is the female of the Rath species and prefers land combat. Bring Antidotes for her poison tail. Use Flash Bombs when she's airborne to ground her. Found in area 5.
  2. 2
    Hungry Eyes
    Objective: Hunt a Nargacuga.
    Location: Misty Peaks.
    Subquest: Wound Nargacuga’s wings.
    Notes: Nargacuga is fast and uses its tail for powerful ground slams. Its wings are very durable; use weapons that don't bounce or play as a Gunner. Found in area 6. This quest unlocks “Wyvern of the Wind”.
  3. 3
    Serpentine Samba
    Objective: Hunt a Najarala.
    Location: Marshlands.
    Subquest: Deliver 1 Wyvern Tear.
    Notes: Najarala is a Snake Wyvern that coils and uses sound-amplified roars and explosive scales. Avoid its coils and ranged scale attacks. Starts in area 6. Unlocks “Noise Violation” and “Grudge Match: Najarala”.
  4. 4
    Lurkin in the Murk
    Objective: Hunt 2 Khezu.
    Location: Arctic Ridge.
    .
    Notes: If you missed the 3-star quest, this is your chance to fight two Khezu. Bring Dung Bombs and be prepared for Thunder attacks.
  5. 5
    Crustacean Infatuation
    Objective: Capture a Shogun Ceanataur.
    Location: Volcano.
    Subquest: Deliver 3 Carapaceon Brains.
    Notes: This is a capture quest; do not kill the Shogun Ceanataur. The Capture Guru skill helps. Shogun Ceanataur starts in area 6. It inflicts Bleeding, which depletes HP with movement. Crouch, eat a steak, or avoid its claws. Bring Cool Drinks.
  6. 6
    URGENT: The Dark Age
    Objective: Hunt a Yian Garuga.
    Location: Jurassic Frontier.
    .
    Notes: Yian Garuga is a Bird Wyvern similar to Rathian, with a poisonous backflip. It avoids Pitfall Traps. Beware its sonic roar into a dive attack. Completing this unlocks the 5-star tier and the Melding Pot.
