Unlike 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
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
Subquest: Hunt an Iodrome
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.
CommentsYou've probably heard of a little action RPG game called Monster Hunter lately. That's because this year, they released Monster Hunter World on home consoles and PC, but they've also brought Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate to the Nintendo Switch after its initial release in Japan a year ago.
Monster Hunter is a game where players literally hunt large monsters (it's part of the ecology) and use parts from those monsters to craft armor and weapons to better prepare for the next hunt. You repeat this process over and over — it's a bit grindy, but worth the efforts to look like a badass.
While Monster Hunter's a great franchise, it's definitely overwhelming if you've never played before, or are still relatively new to the game. This is especially true for Generations Ultimate, as it introduces some new changes from previous Monster Hunter handheld titles. That's why we've rounded up some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your time with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (MHGU).
Questing fundamentals
Everything that you do in Monster Hunter's done through quests. In each game, there's usually a girl around the middle of the village who handles quests. Quests may have a variety of different objectives, such as making deliveries, killing or capturing specific monster(s), or even making incredibly large and tough beasts retreat, saving villages from impending doom.
The one thing all newbies must understand before starting quests in Monster Hunter is the fact that the game does start a bit slow. The first couple of missions available are deliveries or something like killing 10 small monsters as the objective. These are a bit boring, but necessary to understand the fundamentals of the game before you tackle the larger beasts.
Choose where to take on quests from
There are two areas to complete quests in MHGU: Village and Hunter's Hub. Village quests are strictly single-player, advance the story, and unlock key parts of the villages that make your hunting life easier. Hunter's Hub allows for four hunters to hunt together and raise their Hunter Rank. Think of Hunter Rank like character level, since it gets unlocked after you hit G-Rank and the number increases as you earn HR points from hunts.
Village Low Rank quests go up to 5 stars, High Rank starts at 6, and G-Rank quests are the 10 Advanced missions that aren't for the faint-of-heart.
In Hunter's Hub, Low Rank is 1-3, High Rank is 4-7, and G-Rank is G1-4.
While you're free to do every quest that's available in each level, there are technically only certain ones that you need to complete in order to progress to the next set of quests. These are called Key Quests, and you can find a list of Village Key Quests and Hunter's Hub Key Quests on the MHGU Wiki. However, other non-key quests can unlock important things in the village, and even add more ingredients to your canteen's menu.
MHGU also makes things interesting with a new Hunt of the Day, which you can complete to earn extra rewards and zenny (currency).
Know the conditions of failure and success
In every quest, hunters get 50 minutes to complete the objective, unless otherwise stated. Once the objective's met, such as killing or capturing a monster, then it's complete and you return to the village in 60 seconds.
You'll fail the quest if you don't finish in time, or if you faint (lose all health) three times unless a mission says otherwise. That's why it's imperative to know your enemy and dodge their moves at the correct time! Less hits taken means less chance of failure.
Take advantage of the Supply Box
When you're in Low Rank, you start out at the beginning of each area, where there's a camp set up. A blue chest holds some useful freebies that you can grab for the hunt. If you don't use them, they get returned at the end of the quest.
In High and G-Rank, hunters get dropped off in random zones on the map. To make things more difficult, the supplies in the blue supply box get dropped off after a few minutes of the quest starting. So if you're in the higher level quests, you'll need to be patient and tough it out if you still want these freebies.
You may also notice a red chest at camp. This is where you drop off items for delivery, such as wyvern or herbivore eggs, and unique account items that net you more guild points.
Always remember to eat
Before setting off on your quest, always make sure you hit up the canteen for a hearty meal.
Why is eating so important? It's simple, you don't want to go out on a hunt with base stamina and health, right? Eating meals boosts your existing HP and Stamina bars so you can take more hits, or do more evasive maneuvers. Plus, some weapons have modes that deplete your stamina, such as Dual Blades' Archdemon mode, so you want to have as much as possible.
Meals in Monster Hunter also provide beneficial passive abilities that come in handy, such as Polisher that lets you sharpen your weapon faster, or Carver, where you can gain extra carves from a monster corpse. You may also get improvements to your defense and attack strength, which is always helpful.
Try out every weapon
The one thing that I often hear about newbies coming into Monster Hunter games is the fact that they don't like how 'slow' some weapons are, or how weapons must be sheathed to use items and whatnot. This does take some getting used to since Monster Hunter is not your typical hack-n-slash game. You must put thought into how you move, just as you would if you were actually hunting.
There are 14 different weapon types in MHGU:
- Greatsword
- Sword and Shield
- Longsword
- Dual Blades
- Lance
- Gunlance
- Switch Axe
- Hammer
- Hunting Horn
- Insect Glaive
- Charge Blade
- Bow
- Heavy Bowgun
- Light Bowgun
Every weapon type plays differently. Greatswords tend to make you move slow and require good timing to land hits, but deal heavy damage with each hit. Dual Blades are super fast and easy to chain into combos, but each individual hits don't do much damage on their own. Sword and Shield is the only weapon type that lets hunters use items while the weapon's unsheathed, and has fairly quick attacks like Dual Blades. Insect Glaive is a staff-like weapon that also has a 'kinsect' aspect, which is used to gather extracts from monsters to boost your own abilities.
If you prefer ranged, there's the Bows and Bowguns. Bows use arrows, while Bowguns require a different ammo that you must craft. Light Bowguns deal more in elemental and status damage and are more mobile, whereas Heavy Bowguns focus on raw damage and explosives.
There are a lot of options to choose from in Monster Hunter, and I recommend going into the training quest for each weapon type to find what you like using. For newcomers, Sword and Shield is always a good starting point —or even Dual Blades. If you don't mind slow movement using heavy hits, then Greatsword is a classic.
Experiment with Hunting Styles and Arts
A new addition in Generations were Hunting Styles, and this carries over into the Ultimate edition as well. There are six styles to learn: Guide, Striker, Aerial, Adept, Valor, and Alchemy.
Guild's the traditional style that you may be used to from older games. You get two slots for Hunter Arts. This is the best way to learn the game if you're a beginner.
Striker's another style that's good for beginners. You get three Arts to equip, and you build up your Arts by getting hit in addition to landing successful hits. However, you lose some fine distinctions for certain weapons in this style, such as Dual Blades' Archdemon mode.
Aerial allows players to hop around areas due to their movement. When you dodge with the B button, your hunter jumps. This turns into a large leap if you hit a monster in the air, or even hit another hunter or bomb. However, you only get one Art to equip with this style.
Adept is the hardest of them all and focuses heavily on countering your enemies. This one isn't for beginners, but veterans who know how to read the monster's movements and counter at the correct time. You also get only one Art with Adept style.
Valor relies on sheathing to fill up your gauge and enter the Valor State, which means you hit harder and move faster. This style involves canceling attacks by sheathing to fill up your Art gauges and avoid incoming attacks with a sheathing stance.
Alchemy is the support style. It allows for three Hunter Arts, and you can use Alchemy Barrels to create Alchemy Items, power up your SP State and Hunter Arts, and more.
Each style can completely change how a weapon plays, so there's a lot of experimenting involved with figuring out your own play style. Valor and Alchemy are new to Generations Ultimate, as they were not in the original base game.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Village 10 Star Key Quests
Arts get unlocked as you progress through the story, and these are powerful moves you can perform once the gauge is full. Hunter Arts can be devasting attacks for specific weapons, general evasion or defensive maneuvers, and even counters to attacks.
Styles and Arts make up the meat of the game in terms of gameplay, so try out as many as you can! You'll definitely find something that you'll end up loving.
Gather everything
I know — you want to go out and take on the big monsters to get amazing gear. But that process takes time! You need to gather resources first to make items that help you survive out in the wilderness.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate High Rank Village Key Quests
An important aspect of Monster Hunter is gathering. While you're out exploring the land, look for anything interesting on the ground or on walls. If something sparkles, that means you can gather it. Just walk over to it and press the A button until there's nothing more you can pick up.
Some gathering points require special tools. You'll need pickaxes to mine ore, and bug nets to catch insects. You'll also want to gather up honey as often as possible, as it's used in a lot of crafting recipes, specifically the important healing items.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Guide
If there's anything I learned from pouring hundreds of hours into several Monster Hunter games, it's the fact that you should pretty much pick up and gather everything.
Eventually, you'll unlock a small farming section in the village, where you can duplicate common resources.
Make item and equipment sets
In every Monster Hunter game, you'll end up going through a variety of different quests that take place in cold or even scorching environments, or you just need to relax and go out gathering resources for later hunts. You'll also do a lot of farming of monsters for parts, and every beast has their own set of weaknesses for you to exploit.
An essential tip that makes your hunting life easier is to create both item and equipment sets.
Item sets would be what you carry along in your pouch for each quest. This should always have Potions, Mega Potions, Honey (mix with Potions to create Mega Potions), Nulberries, Paintballs, Antidotes — you know, the essentials. However, you'll end up in hot or cold areas, which require cool or hot drinks respectively.
You can save item sets in your item box (located in your room or next to the departure gate), and when you are preparing to go out on a hunt, just select the item set you want, and swap it out with what you're carrying. Those items you just swapped out get stored in the item box, and you're good to go! It's also a great way to top off the necessities.
The same can be done for your equipment. Perhaps you like a certain armor set because of its skills, and prefer it with a certain weapon. Save it as an equipment set, and then change out your gear when you need it! As you build up a collection of armors and weapons, you'll be doing a lot of swapping out based on what monster you're hunting or even gathering runs.
Understand skill points on gear
When you craft armor, you'll see that each piece has a point value in a skill. But don't think that equipping this single piece of armor means you get that skill. That's not how that works at all, and it's a bit confusing for newcomers (this is all solved in Monster Hunter World, where each piece of armor has its own active armor skill).
In the standard Monster Hunter games, hunters need at least 10 points in a skill for it to be active. Anything below that means that the skill is dormant. Some skills can reach up to 15 points for maximum effect. Older games also had negative skills that needed to be gemmed out (equip a gem with a skill that counters the negative skill), but this was removed in Generations.
To create the perfect armor set with the best skills and looks cool is a task in itself. I'd recommend going for complete armor sets (one monster's set) first before venturing out and trying to create mixed sets for skills.
Proper Hunter's Hub etiquette
While it's a ton of fun to hunt with others through either local or online multiplayer, there's definitely some issues with randoms joining you or even playing with friends who don't know proper etiquette.
Always support each other
When you're in multiplayer quests, it's usually scaled for the number of people that are in the group. Meaning that if you're hunting with anyone besides yourself, it's going to be more difficult than a solo hunt.
Monsters have more health and hit harder, but you still fail if your team winds up with three 'carts' (when you faint, Palicos wheel you back to camp in a wooden cart) or run out of time. That's why you should always try to keep an eye on your teammates' health bars, and always pop a Lifepowder when necessary.
I speak from experience — I've had numerous hunts in the past where the quest was a failure because someone didn't feel the need to use Lifepowder on a teammate who was near death. Guess what? That player tried to heal themselves but got hit (monsters tend to target those who are trying to heal), and everyone failed.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Key Quests Village 2
There are other ways to be more of a team player as well. Watch what your teammates are doing, such as setting up a trap to capture a sleeping monster, instead of waking it up with a weak attack. Or if the team is setting up bombs around a sleeping monster, let the hunter with the strongest attack set off the bombs, since sleeping beasts take triple damage. Oh, and don't hog up all of those Max and Ancient Potions in the Supply Box for yourself — sharing is caring.
It's imperative to cooperate with each other and help one another out when hunting! After all, you're in it together! Communication's key.
Mhgen Village Key Quest
Happy hunting!
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is one of those games that's packed to the brim with things to do and collect. Again, while it starts off slow, things do pick up once you get a good set of gear, and you'll become hooked to the thrill of the hunt.
