The Azure Starlord (Assigned Quest) — Monster Hunter: World Walkthrough
Unlocking new quests in Monster Hunter: World is achieved through various in-game actions, including finding and capturing monsters across low, high, and master ranks. Additionally, interacting with villagers displaying a '!' in Astera, Research Base, or Seliana, and completing prior Optional quests are crucial steps. Fully researching monsters and hunting tempered variants also contribute to progression.
To unlock new content, focus on these activities:
- Finding a monster (low/high/master rank all count separately).
- Capturing monsters (low/high/master rank all count separately).
- Talking to Villagers with a (!) in Astera, Research Base, or Seliana.
- Completing previous Optional quests.
- Fully researching monsters (all tabs in the monster manual).
- Hunting a certain number of different tempered monsters (quests/investigations with more than one tempered target only register the first listed).
- Your current progress level for Assigned Quests.
After accepting a quest from the Handler, you can depart. For example, a simple quest involves slaying 7 Jagras within a 50-minute time limit. You will head to the tent (1) in the Ancient Forest and find your prey in zone 2, where you previously hid from Jagras. Another quest, "The Kestodon Kerfuffle," requires hunting 3 male and 5 female Kestodon in the Ancient Forest. Male Kestodon are distinguished by a larger crown. This quest can seamlessly transition into the Great Jagras Hunt if you choose to continue from "A Kestodon Kerfuffle" instead of returning to town.
