Jul 17, 2016 New to Monster Hunter, or just want to see what the Key Quests are? In this video I will walk through the village keys so you don't find yourself doing quests that aren't required for progression.
Looking to breeze through this section so that you can reach the top of the world as soon as you can? Then look no further. Here’s the key quests that you have to complete!
Note: Is the key quest not showing up? Well, unfortunately, a good deal of them are tied to previous quest chains that aren’t key quests . So if you skipped over them, you’ll be barred from going further. Don’t worry though, all prerequisites are listed, and you can go back to the previous sections to see what you missed!
The Thunderclaw Wyvern
Objective: Hunt an Astalos
Location: Verdant Hills
Subquest: Wound Astalos’s crest
Notes: You must complete the 3-star village quest 'Into the Wyvern’s Den' for this quest to show up! You ran away from Astalos last time, but this time it’s time Astalos to do the departing. Astalos uses thunder element attacks and so if you’re majorly weak to thunder, watch out. Bring Nulberries to cure Thunderblight so you don’t get stunned. As Astalos is attacking and moving, different parts of his body will glow. That means they’re at full charge. If you attack those body parts relentlessly, however, you can destroy the charge and knock Astalos over!
Completion of the quest unlocks a lot of stuff. First off, in Kokoto Village, you can remove the sword behind your house. You’ll also get a new Hunting Art. Finally, completing this plus the 6-star village quest 'Tigrex by the Tail' will unlock the 6-star village quest 'The Hero’s Journey'.
The Unwavering Colossus
Objective: Hunt a Gammoth
Location: Arctic Ridge
Subquest: Wound Gammoth’s legs
Notes: It’s time to shift gears to the second of the flagship monsters of Generations . You’ll have to complete the 3-star village quest 'No Go on the Popo' first. Gammoth is as sturdy as her quest title suggests. She is unmovable and will present to you one of the greatest obstacles in your career. So do your best to come out on top! Several of her attacks and movements can cause you to become a snowman to bring Cleansers. In order to break Gammoth’s legs, you need to get the snow off, which can be difficult because Gammoth will periodically refresh the snow on her legs. After the snow is gone, you can break the legs, and then she can’t cover them in snow anymore.
You’ll unlock a new Hunter Art and you can mine the Giant Sword from Pokke’s Mystery Cave.
The Entrancing Water Dancer
Objective: Hunt a Mizutsune
Location: Misty Peaks
Subquest: Wound Mizutsune’s head
Notes: You must complete the 3-star quest 'A Forest Fracas' before this quest pops up. The third of the four flagship monsters greets you with a dance. He can cause you to slip around using his bubbles, which will result in the judges marking you down for clumsiness, so be careful. The bubble status will gradually build up on you as you continually get hit with them, and can be popped by being attacked by either your Palico companions, fellow hunters, or Mizutsune himself. Mizutsune’s claws are very tough and will bounce most weapons.
Completion of this quest nets you a new Hunter Art.
The Fishermans Fiend
Objective: Hunt a Lagiacrus
Location: Deserted Island
Subquest: Wound Lagiacrus’s head
Notes: If you herald from 3 Ultimate , be prepared to have your nostalgia tickled a little. Lagiacrus is back, this time without water to aid his conquest! However, he has gained several different attacks utilizing his deadly electricity in return, so tread carefully. For example, one of his attacks will cause his body to be orbited by glowng electrical orbs. They will at first orbit next to him, then they will gradually grow farther away. This can be extremely annoying to work around as you try to attack because they hang around for a while. Lagiacrus’s horns are extremely durable, bouncing almost every weapon out there, so plan carefully if you intend on breaking them for the subquest (and the elusive horn materials).
Complete this plus the 4-star village quest 'Royal Pains' to unlock the 5-star village quest 'Lagiacrus Fuss'.
A King, Robed in Smoke
Objective: Hunt a Rathalos
Location: Volcano
Subquest: Sever Rathalos’s tail
Notes: It’s time to hunt the ultimate flagship monster of the franchise: Rathalos . The male counterpart to Rathian, Rathalos prefers skybound combat, utilizing his venomous talons and his awe-spiring fiery breath. Truly the king indeed. Similar to Rathian, Rathalos is pitifully weak to Flash Bombs, however. Throw one while he is facing your direction to bring him crashing down, rage mode or not!
Complete this quest plus the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast' to unlock the 5-star village quest 'Island Heat'. You’ll also unlock the Arena Quest 'Grudge Match: Rathalos'.
Fight or Uragaan!
Objective: Hunt an Uragaan
Location: Volcano
Subquest: Wound Uragaan’s chin
Notes: Another Brute Wyvern from 3 Ultimate returns. Uragaan loves to roll around and drum the floor with his massive chin. He can easily cause tremors by slamming the ground hard enough. Similar to Lagiacrus’s head, Uragaan’s jaw is extremely durable and most weapons will bounce.
You still hanging in there? Good, because we’ve got another Urgent Quest coming your way. Remember that guy in “Tumultuous Sprouts”? You know, the one that probably scared the living daylights out of you as you were hunkering trying to get mushrooms. Well, hunker no more, it’s time to face your fears…
URGENT: The Scorching Blade
Objective: Hunt a Glavenus
Location: Jurassic Frontier
Subquest: Sever Glavenus’s tail
Notes: This is it, hunter! The ultimate foe…the champion of the four flagship monsters! Glavenus is no pushover, so if you found yourself dancing in circles around Astalos, Gammoth, or Mizutsune, don’t expect Glavenus to be so complacent. His back end is as dangerous as his front, by the way. Keep in mind that Glavenus’s tail cannot be severed, only broken, unless his tail lights up. When it lights up (after Glavenus runs it through his mouth), it is softer and can be cut. Tricky!
Completion of this quest teaches you yet another Hunter Art but more importantly you get the Rainbow Pigment for your armor. It makes your armor multicolored and change colors. The most dizzying sight to behold!
Congratulations on beating the 'offline boss' of the solo campaign. Enjoy the credits, and enjoy ever more the new quest tier that opens up to you.
CommentsUnlike the previous tier, which had numerous different village request chains, this tier has requests spread far and few between. So don’t worry, it’s super simple this time to keep track of everything! The requests will be covered Kokoto first, then Pokke, then Yukumo, and finally Bherna.
Jurassic Treasure: The Frog
Objective: Capture a Tetsucabra
Location: Jurassic Frontier
Subquest: None
Notes: Talk to Treshi in Kokoto Village for this request. If you haven’t done any training quests, this will be your first capture quest. If you’ve never captured before, I strongly recommend you take on the training quest “Hunter Training: Capturing”, to get a feel for it. Also check out our guide section 'Capture vs Kill' for full capture coverage.
Completion of this quest will give you access to a new ingredient for your Kitchen: Tailed Frog!
Local Threat
Objective: Hunt a Yian Kut-Ku
Location: Verdant Hills
Subquest: Wound Yian Kut-Ku’s head
Notes: In order to get this request you have to complete the 2-star quest 'Hunt Down the Velocidrome!' Then, you can talk to the Kokoto Chief for this request. It’s basically a clone of the key quest “Stomping Grounds” but in their local area Verdant Hills. Yian Kut-Ku’s flamboyant head crest is actually its ears. Aim for the head and beak area and you’ll be able to do the subquest easily!
Complete this quest to unlock the next request 'Into the Wyvern’s Den'.
Into the Wyverns Den
Objective: Deliver 2 Wyvern Eggs
Location: Verdant Hills
Monster Hunter Generations Hub Quests
Subquest: None
Notes: Complete “Local Threat” to unlock this quest from the Kokoto Chief. You’ll want to head to area 5 of Verdant Hills. Unfortunately for you, it appears you have a quest… Astalos will be sleeping in the nest! Ugh, now you have to trot that egg all the way back to base camp with an Astalos trying to kill you. If you have the gear for it, you can try to kill the Astalos, but its stats are hugely inflated so good luck. Skills like Pro Transporter and Felyne Lander will help you greatly here, particularly Felyne Lander which will shorten the path and all you go jump down the ledges in area 6.
This will unlock the 5-star village quest 'The Thunderclaw Wyvern'.
Cancer of the Dunes
Objective: Slay 10 Hermitaur before time expires or deliver a Paw Pass Ticket
Location: Dunes
Subquest: None
Notes: Talk to Trenya in Pokke Village for this request. You must kill 10 of the Hermitaurs, the small crabs, and then a Paw Pass Ticket will appear. Deliver the ticket. The blue box provides you with a convenient Farcaster that you can use to warp instantly back to base camp. This quest is unstable.
Completion of the quest will unlock the 4-star village quest 'Hunt-a-thon: Velocidrome'. Additionally, you will be rewarded with a Giant Acorn that will let you craft the Felyne Bowgun .
The Shadow in the Mountains
Objective: Hunt a Khezu
Location: Arctic Ridge
Subquest: Mount and topple monster twice
Notes: This is a request from the Pokke Village Chief, but you have to complete the 2-star village quest 'The Mountain Roughrider' before you’ll see it. This is another quest worth doing if you’re into thunder weapons, but only if you have a stomach strong enough for the revolting Khezu. Khezu is a Flying Wyvern so bring Paintballs. Also, bring Nulberries, or have some thunder-resistant armor, as Khezu will fling thunder around and Thunderblight doubles the chance of an attack stunning you! Khezu starts in area 8.
Completing this quest unlocks the next request, 'No Go on the Popo'. You’ll also unlock a new Arena quest 'Grudge Match: Khezu'.
No Go on the Popo
Objective: Deliver 3 Popo Tongues
Location: Arctic Ridge
Subquest: None
Notes: Complete “The Shadow in the Mountains” and then talk to the Pokke Chief. Eep, another unstable quest. Gammoth might show up to wreck your day and protect his precious Popo underlings, and like Astalos before it, its stats are super beefed. Collect those Popo Tongues as soon as you can and hike it back to base camp before you get gored with one of Gammoth’s tusks! Or crushed, I should say.
Completing this quest will unlock the 5-star village quest 'The Unwavering Colossus'.
For Whom the Egg Yolks
Objective: Deliver 3 Gargwa Eggs
Location: Misty Peaks
Subquest: Deliver 3 Gargwa Guano
Notes: If you’ve completed the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast', the Loc Lac Guide will be chilling in the Yukumo footbath awaiting you for this request. Here is the classic egg delivery quest! If you’re unfamiliar, I strongly recommend you do the training quest “Hunter Training: Transporting”, to get the hang of it. Check out our page 'Quest Types' for a rundown on egg quests. Skills like Pro Transporter will help you greatly.
Completion of this quest will give you a new ingredient for the Kitchen: Loc Lac Peanut!
Royal Spit Take
Objective: Hunt a Royal Ludroth
Location: Misty Peaks
Subquest: Deliver 1 Wyvern Tear
Notes: This is a Misty Peaks version of the “Current Events” key quest. Talk to the Yukumo Chief for this one. You have to have completed the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast' and completing this quest unlocks the next request, 'A Forest Fracas'.
A Forest Fracas
Objective: Hunt a Bulldrome
Location: Misty Peaks
Subquest: None
Notes: Complete “Royal Spit Take” and then talk to the Yukumo Chief. Bulldrome should be old hat for you by now, he just so happens to be in Misty Peaks instead of Arctic Ridge. The catch, you ask? Oh, this quest does have the teensiest tiniest of catches: Mizutsune will appear as a guest monster! As with Astalos and Gammoth, Mizutsune’s stats are pretty inflated so steer clear.
Completion of the quest will unlock the 5-star village quest 'The Entrancing Water Dancer'.
Royal Honey Hunt
Objective: Deliver 5 Royal Honeys
Location: Misty Peaks
Subquest: Hunt an Arzuros
Notes: The Moga Farmer in Yukumo Village will have this request for you. Royal Honeys can be gathered in area 5 and area 9. Look for the bees that are flitting around everywhere. Arzuros might show up because he loves honey, drop him dead to gather unhindered.
Completion of the quest will give you a Reststool letting you craft Wyvern’s Perch , a Great Sword, or Poison Fungasax , a Hunting Horn!
The Crabbiest Catch
Objective: Capture a Daimyo Hermitaur
Location: Deserted Island
Subquest: Break Daimyo’s claws
Notes: You have to have completed the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast' plus 'Crustacean Frustration' to unlock this request. Another clone of a previous key quest, the Moga Chief in Yukumo Village will ask you to carry out this duty. Except this time, Daimyo Hermitaur is in Deserted Island instead of the Dunes, and it’s a capture quest!
Completion of this quest gives you a new Kitchen ingredient: Moga Mussels!
The Fungus Among Us
Objective: Deliver 5 Ripened Mushrooms
Location: Deserted Island
Subquest: Deliver 10 Unique Mushrooms
Notes: Talk to the Moga Sweetheart in Yukumo. This reminds me of The Last of Us for some reason…I guess it must just be me seeing things! Anyways, when Altaroth eat at mushroom spots, their bellies turn big and colorful. You just have to wait for those yellow ant critters to crawl over and feast. Don’t attack them or they’ll go after you instead! Then, kill them and pick up the shiny drop for some Ripened Mushrooms! This quest is unstable.
Your reward? If you’d like, the Moga Sweetheart will be your Housekeeper instead of Chamberlyne. But you’d never replace her…right?!
Sunsnug Island Rescue!
Objective: Hunt an Iodrome
Location: Marshlands
Subquest: Slay 12 Ioprey
Notes: The Headwhiskress in Yukumo will have this “catastrophe” awaiting you if you have already completed the 2-star village quest 'Sunsnug Sprout Courier'. Completing the series of –drome monsters you’ve had to face, Iodrome rounds off the set and uses poison attacks! Bring Antidotes.
Completion of this quest will reward you with another housekeeper option: The Headwhiskress herself!
Fishy Favor
Objective: Deliver 3 Brocadefish
Location: Jurassic Frontier
Subquest: None
Notes: Talk to the Cheeko Sands Chief in Bherna for this request. Brocadefish are going to ruin your life unless you prepare accordingly. But luckily for you, this guide author has already had her life ruined by this quest due to poor preparation so you don’t have to! The blue item box gives you two Goldenfish Bait, but you need to bring a third one. Please do so. Combine Snakebee Larvae and Mega Fishing Fly to do so. Then go to area 3 of the Jurassic Frontier—this is where Brocadefish might spawn.
Without Goldenfish Bait, the spawn rate is downright horrible. So use that Goldenfish Bait and you’ll see beautiful slender purple fish appear. Those are the Brocadefish you’re looking for. To be safe, you might want to bring more than 3 Goldenfish Bait.
Completion of this quest will unlock the 4-star village quest 'Hunt-a-thon: Daimyo Hermitaur' and also net you the weapon crafting recipe for the hammer White Kitty Stamp.
Moofah Must-haves
Objective: Deliver 5 pieces of Moofah fur
Location: Jurassic Frontier
Subquest: None
Notes: The Reliable Villager in Bherna will have this request for you. Moofah Fur can be obtained by using a cutting weapon to attack the Moofahs hanging around Deserted Island. You don’t need to kill them, but if you don’t have self-control, go ahead I guess. Or if you’re mad that Poogie isn’t in Bherna Village and Moofah took his place. Pick up the shiny drops after the Moofah gets flung back and deliver five of them.
You’ll be rewarded with a Stargazer Flower. This will let you make the Edel and Edel S armor for your hunter, and the F Edel and F Edel S armor set for your Palico. Additionally it can let you craft the Ivory Bow for your hunter and the F Edel Rod and F Edel Rod S for your Palico.
Travelers in Trouble
Objective: Slay 10 Ioprey
Location: Marshlands
Monster Hunter Generations Five Star Key Quests 1
Subquest: Hunt an Iodrome
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate 5 Star Key Quests
Notes: Talk to the Bherna Gal for this request. This is basically “Sunsnug Island Rescue” reversed because you have to hunt Ioprey but the subquest involves an Iodrome, so just kill both and call it a day.
Completion of the quest rewards you with the Scholarly armor set for your hunter, and the F Quest Book and F Scholarly gear for your Palico.
