Follow this Monster Hunter World: Iceborne walkthrough to complete the Main Quest, including the Jagras of the Ancient Forest and Great Jagras Hunt.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Introduction - Make it to the Hunter Headquarters: Start on a ship, customize your character, and survive a crash. Learn basic movement, controls, and the use of a grappling hook. Navigate to a marker on the island, evade a dinosaur attack, and escape to the Hunter Headquarters. Tour the facility, including your room, item box, canteen, smithy, and commander station.
  2. 2
    Slayer Quest - Jagras of the Ancient Forest: Accept your first Slaying Quest from the Handler. Hunt 7 Jagras within 50 minutes, with a limit of three faints. Follow the map marker to area two, engage the Jagras pack, and use Spread Ammunition for better results against groups.
  3. 3
    A Kestodon Kerfuffle: Accept the next assigned quest from the Handler. Before proceeding, consider upgrading your armor or weapons. Attack Kestodons near the water in the Ancient Forest, following the Field Master's guidance to the beach to defeat the remaining Kestodons.
  4. 4
    Great Jagras Hunt: This quest follows the Kestodon Kerfuffle. Inspect footprints to gain points and make tracking easier. Follow Scout flies to locate the Great Jagras. Prepare for a tougher battle by using health potions, Mega Potions, and First Aid Medicines. The battle typically lasts 15-20 minutes for new players. After defeating the Great Jagras, new armor sets will become available.
