The Pain from Gains

Need to hunt 7 Gajau in Monster Hunter: World's Wildspire Waste? This guide shows you exactly where to find them in the swampy areas and how to use the in-game map to track them down.

Alright, so this quest is called "The Pain from Gains," and it's all about hunting down 7 Gajau in the Wildspire Waste. Don't worry, these guys are pretty common in this area, so it shouldn't be too tough. You'll get 1080z for completing it, but you've got a 50-minute time limit and you'll fail if you faint 3 times. Make sure your Hunter Rank is 3 or higher before you head out!

You might have seen Gajau before in the Ancient Forest, but forget what you know – they hang out in different spots here. The good news is, there are actually more of them in the Wildspire Waste, which makes this hunt a breeze. Just remember to loot their bodies for materials after you take them down!

Where to Find the Gajau:

Your best bet is to head for the swampy areas in the southeastern part of the Wildspire Waste. You'll find a couple chilling in the northern part of AREA 9, and a whole bunch more along the eastern side of AREA 10. Basically, anywhere with water is a good place to start looking.

Pro-Tip for Finding Monsters:

Here's a neat trick: use your in-game map! Open it up and cycle through the filters using [R1]/[RB] and [L1]/[LB]. Select "Small Monsters," and you'll see purple dots pop up on the map. Hover over them to see what kind of monster is there. This is super handy for finding specific creatures or materials whenever you need them!
