as a plant with yellow-orange bulbs on it. Your Spiderweb can be

HELP! The children are being attacked by small, blue monsters called
Velociprey! 3 of the beasts are outside! Do something!
How to:
Take the healing items from the blue supply chest. Head out to the
first area. Once out there take the exit to the left. You will see
a cut-scene of your new friend; the Velociprey. You shouldn't have
much trouble on them. Just keep moving and don't let them jump.
Try and take them on by themselves if you have a weaker weapon and armor.
Once you kill them, try to take from them as soon as possible because
they fade fast. You can only get 1 item from them (Velociprey Fang,
Velociprey Hide, and Velociprey Scale). Once you kill the 3rd one you
will see a cut-scene and the quest is over. Congratulations.

Quest Level: 2 Star
Goal Conditions: Deliver 7 Special Mushroom
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Loving Sibling
I want to send some Special Mushrooms to my brother in town.
But there are too many monsters. Please bring 7 Special Mushrooms to me.
How To:
This may seem like an easy quest, and for the most part it is, but the
Bullfango make this a highly annoying quest. You can gather Special
Mushrooms from quite a few areas. The first area to visit would be
Area 8. There are 3 Bullfangos in this room so be careful and try to
kill them one at a time. When that is completed, search the mushroom patch.
Next stop, Area 7. Search behind the tree here and you should get a few
Special Mushrooms. In Area 6 there is a spot next to the entrance where
the Mosswine will sniff. Between these bushes you will find more of these
so-called "rare" Mushrooms. And in Area 11, on the south side of the pond
is another area where the Mosswine sniff. As previously stated, that is
where you'll find more Special Mushrooms. Return them to the red box and...
Quest Completed!
*Note: You can deposit 6 of the Special Mushrooms and continue foraging for
another 10 so you can reap the benefits of selling 9 of them.

Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Veteran Armorer
The decorations on Bowguns have always been made from the horns of Kelbi.
But we're running out! Can you bring 5 Kelbi Horns to me?
How To:
This is very simple. All you need is a weapon and patience. Head to Areas
2 and 3. Here you can slay all the Kelbi you want. Just exit and re-enter
to make them reappear. Once you kill the Kelbi, carve more towards its horns
and you'll have a better chance of getting them. Once you get 5 you can
return them or continue hunting supplies.

Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Town Chief
I'm cooking for a big festival in the town. But I'm running low on Well-Done
Steaks. Can you bring me 5?
How To:
Another simple quest, just don't get used to them because soon they won't be
so easy. All you have to do is take the Portable Spit out of the supply box
and go to Area 1 and kill Aptonoth. Take the raw meat and cook it. Not hard
at all, now is it? Return them after you're done gathering.

Raid the Wyvern's Nest
Reward: 350z
Contract: 100z
Time: 50 Minutes
Area: Forest And Hills
Special Conditions: None
Quest Level: 2 star
Goal Conditions: Deliver 1 Wyvern Egg
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Local Doctor
One of the village people has fallen ill. I need a Wyvern Egg
to cure them. Please sneak into a nest and get an egg for me!
How To:
This is a carrying-type Gathering Quest. Eventually you're going to hate
these because they get much harder and much more annoying. This one
is rather easy. All you have to do is go into the nest in Area 5.
Hopefully Rathalos won't be in there. First clear all the Aptonoths in
Area 1 and the Velociprey in Area 2. This ensures you a nice, clean path
to run through. When you get an egg from the nest, you'll run at half speed.
Because of this,you'll want to max your stamina out with the rations or a
Well-Done Steak. Now just run to the camp and deposit the egg. If done
fast enough, you may not even have to see the Rathalos. If you do, you
should paintball it and wait for it to stay out of your way.

Hunting Quest
The Formidable Velocidrome!
Reward: 400z
Contract: 150z
Time: 50 Minutes
Area: Forest and Hills
Special Conditions: None
Quest Level: 3 Star
Goal Conditions: Slay 1 Velocidrome
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Young Guardsman
After you killed those Velociprey, their leader showed up! It's bigger, and
it has an orange crest. Find it and kill it!
How To:
This is where it starts to get a little tough for some people. The
Velocidrome appears in Area 10 the first time you do it (As an Urgent Quest)
only. Subsequent playing the Velocidrome hunts out the player rather than
being in Area 10 right at the start. Mine and gather everything you need
before going to Area 10. Also note that you'll learn to love flash bombs.
When you first enter Area 10 you'll witness a cut-scene of the Velocidrome.
Looks tough. The Velocidrome will release a roar that will bring forth many
Velociprey. Use the flash bombs and they'll be stunned and you can go
straight for the Velocidrome witout being bothered. When it has half health
the monster will try to flee, prevent this. If you cannoy, run through the
exit it uses and slay it there. When it is dead, quickly carve it
twice. It's parts can be sold for money or kept for making weapons.

Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Proud Farmer
A pack of 10 Velociprey have been praying on my cows! They're too much for
me to handle. Please get rid of them for me!
How To:
There are many Velociprey throughout this quest. There's really no how to
on this quest. You just find them out and kill the little buggers. Four of
them reside in Area 5 and that's almost half of your requirements so that's
a good start. Once you kill 10 you'll get the message...

Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Botanist
I finally made it! I have traveled long and far to find rare mushrooms. I
need 10 Special Mushrooms for my research. Please find them!
How To:
To find the mushrooms, make sure you watch where the pigs sniff.
You can find them in Zone 2 in front of the idol. Other areas include:
Area 4 in the clearing between the thick underbrush, Area 8 just to the
right of the entrance to Area 9, Area 9 by the rocks right at the entrance,
and Area 10 in the center rock. If you want extra money you can deposit
9 of them and gather more. Also for free Kut-Ku scales go to Area 6.
There is a ledge with wyvern eggshells. Just to the left of that is a
bare area. Gather there and you can get up to 5 Kut-Ku Scales! Talk
about easy money. When you're done just deliver them to the red box.

Slay the Yian Kut-Ku!
Reward: 900z
Contract: 200z
Time: 50 Minutes
Area: Forest and Hills
Special Conditions: None
Quest Level: 3 Star
Goal Conditions: Slay the Yian Ku-Ku
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Macho Guardsman
A bird-like Yian Kut-Ku is attacking people all over the place. Show me what
you're made of by taking it out!
How To:
Congratulations on making it this far. This is your first of many
wyvern fights. Inexperienced players will like to take precaution.
Make sure you have at least a decent set of armor, such as Velociprey.
Now bring 10 Potions as well as Mega Potions if you have them. Bring
some trap tools, pitfall trap, and net and Lg Barrel-Bombs. Now head
off to Area 3 to meet him. Make a pitfall trap in the narrow middle section
of Area 3. Place two Lg Barrel-Bombs here. Coax the Kut-Ku into the trap
and set the bombs off with a Sm Barrel-Bomb. Just be careful to get out of
there before they blow! Using flash bombs on him cause blindness, so also
use this to your advantage. After taking enough damage the creature's ears
fold up on the top of his head. This is your clue that he's going to start
limping. Keep attacking him until he heads to the next area (Area 4).
Once he flees, if you haven't killed him, follow him. In the next area look
for the shadow on the ground where he is going to land. Place a Pitfall Trap
right there. The creature will land and instantly fall into the trap. Place
bombs there if you have the time and blow him up. If not, just slice at him
or shoot him. You can kill him here if you're lucky, but if not he will head
to Area 5 where he will attempt to rest and regain health. Try to make it
there before he goes to sleep. Keep attacking and remember to heal when your
health falls to less than half health. Eventually the creature will fall
to your weapon. Now you can carve it 3 times in the minute that you have
left before heading back to town.

Requestor: Jungle Envoy
My village is under attack by a large-eared, bird-like monster. I hear
that it's sensitive to noise. Please slay it for us!
How To:
Follow the previous quests preparations and tactics. The only difference
is that this quest takes place in the Jungle, where visibility is poor.
The creature starts off in Area 2. Paintball him to find out where he
goes from there. Following the above strategy you will eventually kill it.
Carve it up 3 times.

Liver of Legend!
Reward: 600z
Contract: 150z
Time: 50 Minutes
Area: Desert
Special Conditions: None
Quest Level: 3 Star
Goal Conditions: Deliver 3 Piscine Livers
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Foreign Peddler
I deal in rare items that I find in the desert. I've got a buyer for Water
Wyvern and Sand Wyvern livers. Deliver 3 livers to me!
How To:
This quest is tough. The Cephalos, the sand wyverns that loosely resemble
sharks, are in Area 2 and Area 7. These are where you get your Piscine
Livers. Focus only on the quest, no side mining. This can be one lengthy
quest. Bring along plenty of Sonic Bombs if you have them. Cephalos
hate them and are instantly brought to the surface when one is thrown
at them. This is when you attack them. If you don't have any, attack
the fins as they "swim" by you. This usually prompts them to leap onto
land in pain. Attack the creaturesas much as you can before they get up.
If it is to tail swing, you're in luck. It ALWAYS twists to the left.
Just roll out of the way. When you kill one you have almost a 60% chance
to carve the liver, which means youmay not always get one. Everytime you
get a liver, return it to the red box. If you die, you lose all livers
at hand and we wouldn't want to have to get them all over again now would
we? I have no idea how to do this quest as a gunner because I've never
tried. I'm assuming this quest is done easiest as a blademaster.
When you deliver 3 livers the quest is over.

Find the Wyvern Eggs!
Reward: 800z
Contract: 200z
Time: 30 Minutes
Area: Forest and Hills
Special Conditions: None
Quest Level: 3 Star
Goal Conditions: Deliver 2 Wyvern Eggs
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Local Doctor
One of the village people has fallen ill. With 2 Wyvern Eggs I could
make a remedy. Please get me 2 eggs from a wyvern's nest!
How To:
Use the same strategy in the previous egg hunting quest except for some
changes. The Velociprey reappear as you get your first egg. The best
way to work around this is simple. Walk out of the nest and drop the
egg in either Area 4 or 6. Now head through Areas 5, 3, 2, and 1 and
slay all monsters that are in your way. Now head back to the nest and
get your egg. Return it to the camp and get another and do the same.
Quest Completed!
*Edit*
I've been getting a lot of e-mails about people that were confused about
this so I'll clarify. Taking an egg out of the nest and dropping it
will cause new spawns in the areas mentioned above and if you kill them
no more will come back, providing a clear path. The egg will break
so you'll have to go back and get a new one. I hope this clarifies it
for those who didn't understand.

Quest Level: 3 Star
Goal Conditions: Slay 10 Bullfango
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Lumberjack
These boar-monsters, the Bullfango, have been a lot of trouble lately.
Can you thin the herd by 10 head? Much obliged.
How To:
You can find the Bullfango in Areas 8, 9, and 10. Since there are so
many Bullfango in the same areas it can be very deadly. Instead of
attempting to kill them, run around and let them hurt themselves.
You can pick off at the stragglers and eventually you'll be able to
clear the area without sustaining too much damage. When one area is
clear move onto the next repeating the same pattern, never staying
immobile. After this quest you'll hate Bullfango forever, trust me.

Urgent Quest
Hunting Quest
The Land Shark
Reward: 1200z
Contract: 250z
Time: 50 Minutes
Area: Desert
Special Condition: None
Quest Level: 4 Star
Goal Conditions: Slay the Cephadrome
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Town Chief
Our pack-animals were eaten by something in the desert. But nobody
actually saw the monsters attack! Find and slay the alpha monster!
How To:
This quest will test your patience. It took me a while to get the
hang of this creature and be able to make the quest go in a breeze.
First things's first, here's a list of supplies you should bring:
-Sonic Bombs
-Screamers
-Gunpowder
-Lg Barrel-Bombs
-Sm Barrel-Bombs
-Lg Barrels
-Combo books
-Cool Drinks
The reason for having the Screamers and Gunpowder is so you can
make more Sonic Bombs when you run out. The Lg Barrels and the
Gunpowder is also for when you run out of Lg-Barrel Bombs. The
Book of Combos that you should bring with you will help you out
so that you don't make Garbage. What use would that Garbage be?
The Cephadrome starts off in Area 7. You'll see a short cut-
scene involving it, so you know it'll be there. Make sure
you paintball it because it will leave the area if you die
or when it is weakened. When it goes under the sand, toss
one of the Sonic Bombs at it and it should pop up out of the
sand. Now you have two choices to make here. You can either
attack it as it is defensless and wriggling about on the sand, or
you could set up those Lg-Barrel Bombs around it and detonate
them with the Sm-Barrel Bomb (which inflicts a great deal of
damage). Whatever you chose to do, you can continue to do that
until the creature dies, or flees. When it is weak and needs
to rest it will head to Area 3. When it does that you're very
close to slaying it. When it is resting in Area 3 you again
have the same two choices. Either way, the creature will
eventually die.
Quest Completed!
*Note: Stay close to the legs of the Cephadrome to avoid
most of the damage. When it starts to do its tail swing,
roll towards its head and you will hopefully not get hit
by its tail.

Catch A Yian Kut-Ku
Reward: 1000z
Contract: 220z

Quest Level: 4 Star
Goal Conditions: Capture the Yian Kut-Ku
Fail Conditions:
If you kill the Yian Kut-Ku
Reward Zero
Time oVer
Requestor: Stern Scholar
I would like you to find and capture a Yian Kut-Ku alive.
I suggest using a Pitfall Trap. Good luck, and thanks in
advance!
How To:
First thing is first, bring a Pitfall Trap. If you do not
have the materials to combine to make one, no sweat. The
quest provides you with the Trap Tool, so just head over
to Area 6 and get the materials (Ivy and Spiderweb) and
combine them to make the Net. Now combine the Net with
the Trap Tool and there you have your Pitfall Trap. Now
on with the quest...
This quest is simple. Use the strategy previously posted
for the Yian Kut-Ku. The only difference is this:
When the Yian Kut-Ku's ears go back, STOP ATTACKING! At this
point you should run to Area 4 and wait for the Kut-Ku. When
you see its shadow on the ground quickly run and place the
Pitfall Trap down there. If done properly, you will have set
up the trap and the Kut-Ku will land in the trap and you
don't have to worry about luring it anywhere. Now throw
your Tranq Bombs at it and after 2 hits it should fall
asleep. Now across the screen you should see it say
"Target Monster Captured" or something like that. If it
doesn't, then you didn't weaken the Kut-Ku enough. In
this case, start attacking it some more and try again.
But if you attacked it until his ears fell back then you
shouldn't have this problem.

Slay the Velociprey Pack!
Reward: 500z

Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Proud Farmer
I had you kill those 10 Velociprey, but now they're back!
There's 20 of them this time. Please take care of it for
me, hunter!
How To:
This quest, you'll want to neglect searching for items or
mining. With 20 minutes to do the quest, it's not going
to be easy when you factor in mining. Stick to the
Velociprey. They're in Areas 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10.
It's best to do it in that order as well, because the
ones that appear in 10 are usually the last ones and they
keep coming until you meet your quota (I think at least;
they always have for me). When you cut the last one,
watch the beautiful cutscene and feel proud that
you just completed another quest.

Velocidrome Redux!
Reward: 600z

Time: 30 Minutes
Area: Forest and Hills
Specal Conditions: None
Quest Level: 4 Star
Goal Conditions: Slay 2 Velocidrome
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Young Guardsman
Another Velocidrome has shown up. Please take care of it
for me. Wyverns have also been sighted nearby, so be
very careful.
How To:
As mentioned in the above quest, time is of the essence.
You do not want to waste it in this quest. Also from the
Quest info you can come to the conclusion that there is
a wyvern here. There's usually one in all of the
Velociprey missions, but this one seems to be looking for
... yep you guessed it: you. It's a Rathalos, so avoid
it at all costs, especially with the time constraint.
The first Velocidrome should be in Area 3 by the time you
get there. Paintball it and start slaying it. If
Rathalos comes into the area, try to avoid it as best
as you can, and if that's not possible, pull back and
let the Velocidrome leave the area. After you kill that
Velocidrome, get your 2 carves and head to Area 10. That
is the spawning spot for the Velocidromes so all you have
to do is wait for the other. Eventually it appears and
all you have to do is repeat the above mentioned steps.
Quest Completed!
*Note: There really is no strategy for taking on these
pesky raptor-esque creatures. If you've got one, feel
free to submit it and it'll be added and you'll be given
credit.

Requestor: The Lady Gourmet
I search the world for new tastes and flavors. Now I
want to try Apceros Eggs. Let's start with 3. Thanks
in advance!
How To:
Well there's no simple way around me saying this, so
I will be blunt: I HATE THIS QUEST! I'm sure after
playing it you will be able to say the same thing.
There's nothing fun about it.
Items needed:
3 Cool Drinks
5 Mega Juices (you may actually use all of them)
or
5 Power Juices
10 Well-Done Steaks (If you have them really)
Patience
5 Flash Bombs
Okay, you're gonna have to head straight to Area 8.
When you get in the cave you'll notice the Apceros
keep on coming back. Flash the Apceros until they
are stunned and grab an egg and go out into Area 7
and drop it. Go through Areas 2 and 7 and slay
all the Genprey. You can't get rid of the
Cephalos, but this shouldn't really be a problem.
Once you're finished with that, head back to the
cave and slay the Apceros. They will no longer
return to the cave. Use one of the Power/Mega
Juices and pick up an egg. Now run as fast as
your little hunter legs can carry you. Stick to
the Southern wall as you go from Area 8 -> Area 7
-> Area 2 -> Camp. You'll have to do this three
times, so good luck. When you drop off that
last egg you'll be happy to know one thing, you
can get Commendations from this quest.

Reward Zero

Requestor: Jungle Envoy
My village is under attack by a swarm of 30 bug monsters.
Please help! They're weak individually, but formidable in a group.
How To:
This is a simple quest. You'll look back and laugh when you see
this quest on your list. All you have to do is kill all the Vespoids
in an area and if no more appear... move on to the next. In these
areas you may run into creatures walking on the ground. THese are
Hornetaur and should be avoided if you just want to clear the quest.
The Vespoids can be found in areas 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10. Once you
kill the 30th one the quest is done. Not bad at all.
However, if you want to get the carves off of the creatures, you're
gonna want to bring along a poison weapon. Just hit it until the
creature has the poison status inflicted, at this point just hang
back and wait for it to drop. When it dies of the poison, it will
fall onto the ground and you can carve up the remains.

Slay the Genprey!

Requestor: Injured Soldier
I'm too injured to go on. I'd like you to find and kill 20
Genprey in the swamp for me. Watch out, they can paralyze
you...!
How To:
Genprey are just like Velociprey, just have more health and
now pose a different danger: paralysis. Don't worry, they
still have the same AI so they aren't hard at all. The only
problem that you really have to face is the fact that you
are in the Swamp and there are packs of the annoying
creatures. The Swamp has limited visibility due to fog in
most of the areas. However, it's much easier to see than if
you were trying to see through the thick foliage in the
Jungle. The quest ends when you slay the last one, as
it always does. Just keep on your feet and try to hit
multiple Genprey at once to get the quest to go by
as fast as possible.

My caravans are being hit by Genprey. 2 Gendrome are lead-
ing the pack. Kill them and make the roads safe again for
all!
How To:
This quest is very similar to the Velocidrome quest. The
only major difference is that the Gendrome can paralyze
and have more health. Try to attack them from behind to
avoid their devastating paralyzing leaps. They usually
summon 2-4 Genprey to help them in defending themselves
from hunters such as yourself. When one Gendrome goes down
the other will spawn within a few minutes. Keep searching
the areas 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10 for the last remaining alpha
creature. There is also a Gypceros that flies from area
to area. You can slay it if you wanted, but that's up to
you and you alone. If you're not gonna kill it, paintball
it so you can travel safely from area to area. Use the
same tactic on the second Gendrome that you used on the
first one and the quest will be rather short.

We encountered a huge Ioprey nest in a deep tunnel! We

How To:
You will soon learn to hate these creatures. They are
utterly annoying and rather difficult to slay, being that
they are the hardest to slay of the preys. They will
attack much more frequently, often using their poison
spit. Bring plenty of Antidotes with you on this one.
They can be found all throughout the Jungle, even in
the caves at 9 and 10. This is one quest where you'll
want it just to be over with. Whatever you do, do not
get surrounded by these creatures. You will learn to
regret it. Slay the 20 required and everything is done.
I personally wouldn't recommend mining on this quest
since it is aggravating. Just stick to the task.

I saw a gigantic bird-like monster deep in the swamp!
I can't do business with a thing like that in there!
Please find it and kill it!
How To:
Oh, look at that. Your second wyvern in your quest
to become the Hero of Kokoto! No doubt you've seen it
many times on your quests. It is an interesting looking
wyvern who has a foul temper. His tactics are very
similar to a Yian Kut-Ku but he's more difficult. He
also has a poison breath attack rather than a flame attack,
making him more formidable. Try to avoid this at all costs.
Also, there are 3 other things that need to be addressed before
you even start to fight him:
1) When close to dying he will fake his own death. Do not
go near him if you want to live. Instead, throw stones
or Paintballs or other throwable items at him to wake him
up.
2) He has a crystal on his head that becomes active when
dealt enough damage. Once this crystal is active, he will
use a flash attack that will cause you to be knocked out.
If he hits you with this, just rotate your left analog stick
as fast as you can to get out of it. If you aim at this
crystal, you can break it off which will help you a great deal.
3) He can steal your items. And on top of that, you can't get the
items he steals back. Be very wary of this.
Now since this quest is a lot more challenging you might want to bring
a few items along:
1 Pitfall Trap
2 Trap Tools
2+ Nets
Lg-Barrel Bombs
Sm-Barrel Bombs
Large Barrels
Gunpowder
10 Potions
10 Mega Potions (if you have them)
10 Antidotes
Paintballs
Usually the Gypceros starts in Area 2. If he is not there, look around
in the other areas, specifically Area 4, 5, 9, and 10. Try to mark him
with the Paintball before you actually start fighting it. Traps can
only be used in specific areas due to the marsh-like swamps. If it
goes to one of these areas, set up Lg-Barrel Bombs and lure the
creature to charge at you. Sometimes it will hit the bombs and BOOM!
Right in his face, too. When it goes to an area where you can lay down
the Pitfall Trap, put it under his shadow as he's landing. If you do it
in time, you won't even have to worry about luring him anywhere as he
will land right in it. Once he's trapped put more Lg-Barrel Bombs
around him and set them off with a Sm-Barrel Bomb. You won't regret
wasting the bombs at all. If his eyes light up and the crystal is
exposed, here comes the flash attack! If you have a weapon that has
the guard function, press R1 and block it. Eventually the creature
will fake its death. This is your biggest hint that it is in fact
close to departing from this world. Stay away from the creature if
the Quest Clear message doesn't appear and attack it once it gets up.
You'll kill it soon when that happens. Get your three carves when
you're done. Great Job!

It cannot be... But. My entire warband was wiped out by a wyvern.
Now all rests upon your shoulders, monster hunter! Slay it!
How To:
... Uh oh. Here's where things get a little difficult. Well
let's change that, make that really difficult, especially to
those with no experience. Luckily I have a nice little strategy
that I was given permission to use. This strategy is courtesy of
cloudstrife8 from the GameFAQs boards and is quoted word for word
(and lucky for you it covers all weapon types):
*Note: This strategy is for both Rathalos and Rathian.
"Has anyone noticed that all you have to do to beat Rathalos or
Rathian , with any armor and a halfway decent WEAPON ( Not Just
Great SWORD , although i do not recommend a hammer to fight RATH
wyverns... ) , is to attack with intelligence. Learn to block
efficiently and attack from the right angle.
Here is a perfect example of how to take on a RATH wyvern ,
even naked :
Dodge his run attack, always. Do NOT attack when he is about
to run. You can tell the difference between a Run attack and
Fireball attack by his/her turning speed.
Run = Fast turn speed, 2 turns towards you.
Fireball = Slow turn speed, 2 turns towards you.
When he/she does his/her fireball, run up to the side of his/her
head and do the slash with your weapon. He/she will be dizzied.
With timing and a halfway decent GS, you can keep him/her in a
dizzy loop indefinitely.
If you can't seem to get the dizzy loop down, don't get hit
overusing it with bad timing. Just roll in front of it and block.
While you are blocking notice his next movements.
He/she has 5 attack choices at that time :
Run straight forward ( which you will have blocked )
Turn around to hit offensively with tail ( Turn towards the
direction the tail is coming in and you will always block it )
Do the bite attack ( which you will have blocked )
Leap backwards and shoot the fireball ( which you will
have blocked )
** Rathalos Only **
Step backwards twice and backflip ( which you will have
blocked ) ** Rathian Only **
He/she has 4 non - offensive choices as well :
Fly straight into the air.
Crane neck upwards and roar. This does not stun you.
Extend neck forward and roar . This makes you cringe and hold
your ears. Although if you were blocking like I said, that
won't happen, and you will be prepared for the next attack.
Leap backwards and land , but without the fireball
**Rathian Only**
I strongly suggest not trying for the tail until you learn
how to block and attack efficiently.
By the way , you might have noticed i never mentioned getting
under the Rath and attacking from there. That is simply because
it's hard to read their movements from there, and will get you
hit often.
I wish I could make a video of the dizzy loop, but it's not
too difficult to understand.
Also , this is not ONLY for new players, as I have noticed
a large amount of HR 20 players online who just can't seem
to avoid using 10 potions and 10 mega potions fighting a
Rathalos/Ian, and who seem to disregard the existence of R1.
On the Forest and Hills map, Rathalos uses areas 6, 5, 4, 3,
9, and 10.
He wont stay in 5 unless he is limping, at which time he
falls asleep.
He most likely won't stay in 6 long either, as he lands at
the top of the mountain near the entrance to area 5.
He eats at 9 and drinks at 10.
3 and 4 are where you most likely will fight the most.
Pay attention to his damage. If he limps then you know to go
to 5. If you've damaged him a lot but he's not limping yet,
check 9 and 10 first. If you haven't found him yet, check 6 ,
4, and 10 first.
I forgot to mention the procedure in using a weapon with block
absent. Duals can use the dizzy combo as well, but it takes
practice to keep the combo from going into the frames after he
shakes free of the dizzyness. The best thing to do is wait for
him/her to set the fireball attack , and run to the side of the
head. Use R1 and press left/right on the right analog stick,
which does the cyclone-ish attack where you spin twice with your
duals slightly upward. This is strong enough to dizzy Rathalos/Ian
and short enough to repeat in time to keep the combo going.
Hammers.... :/
The best thing to do for the dizzy combo is to basically wait
for the fireball attack, charge R1 , then use the STATIONARY
POUND, not the spin attack, to dizzy it once. I have to research
the timing of hammer moves and the lag after the ground pound,
but i will post my findings here.
BTW, the Lance is the most precision weapon this game has, and
learning the timing of the backstep/sidestep/block combination
will consistantly save your life."

I'm keeping that wyvern as a pet! So hands off! Now I want

How To:
See above Stategy except with some slight modifications. When
the Rathalos starts limping, DO NOT ATTACK IT. Head straight to
Area 4 (if he starts limping in 3) or Area 5 (if he starts limping
in Area 4). When you see the shadow of the Rathalos, place the
Pitfall Trap there. You won't have to coax him into the trap this
way and he'll just fall right in. Throw your Tranq Bombs with
extreme accuracy. You do not want to waste these. It usually takes
about 2 to put him to sleep. If done correctly, it will tell you
that all requested monsters have been captured.
Also, just because it says "hands off!" doesn't mean you can't
cut off his tail, face armor, and wing claws. So do that if you
want a carve and extra items.

I travel the world for new tastes and flavors. Now I want to

How To:
This is identical to the "Find the Wyvern Eggs!" quest that
falls under the category of 3 star quests. Your only difference
is that you're given 3 eggs to deliver and only 30 minutes to
do so. It's really not that bad. Again, head up to the nest
in Area 5, pick up an egg and carry it out of the cave. Drop
the egg and prepare to clear out the areas. Clear out area 6,
5, 3, 2, 1. Now if you see the Rathalos, Paintball it to make
your life a little bit easier. Drink a Mega Juice/Power Juice
and go out the path that doesn't have Rathalos (4,3,2,1 or 6,2,1).
Personally I think the 4,3,2,1 path is a lot easier, but do
what you can. You better hurry though, you only have 30 minutes.
Repeat the process outlined about until all eggs are delivered.

them is the same as a Velocidrome and Gendrome, except these
have much higher health and have a poison spit attack. You're
gonna want to bring 10 Antidotes as well as Blue Mushrooms and
Antidote Herbs to combine to make more throughout the quest.
The Iodrome love to use their poison attack. Do not get
surrounded by the creatures or it will spell out your certain
doom. The first Iodrome is usually in Area 1. The spawning
spot, however, is Area 2 so wait there for the new Iodromes
to appear after you kill them. Good luck!

Requestor: Proud Hunter
I found a giant Water Wyvern in a cave in the desert! I
can't defeat it because it stays underwater. Slay it and
the credit's yours!
How To:
Another difficult wyvern quest. At this point in the game
you're blasted with new wyverns and wyvern quests to complete.
The Plesioth is no simple task.
Bring the following:
3 Hot Drinks
10 Sonic Bombs
Gunpowder
Screamers (to combine with the gunpowder to make more Sonic
Bombs)
Lg-Barrel Bombs
Sm-Barrel Bombs
Pitfall Trap
Trap Tools
Nets
Frogs
You're also gonna want good Water Resistant armor as well
as a good Lightning elemental weapon. If you have neither,
no worries. This quest can still be conquered.
Yep, for this quest you're gonna want your Frogs. If you
have none, you can find them in Area 4 at a rock close
to the water. Gather as many as you can and head into the
cave known as Area 5. You'll get a nice opening of the
dreadful Plesioth. Kill all the Genprey that reside in the
cave and set up a Pitfall Trap. You know the drill, put
Lg-Barrel Bombs around the Pitfall Trap. Head over to the
water where the creature is swimming around and gather its
attention. When it rears up out of the water to attack
hurl a Sonic Bomb at it and it'll eject itself out of the
water and flop around vulnerably on the land. This is your
chance. Aim for the head if you can and if not attack its
body. When it stands up, stay close to its feet and attack
it from there. If it uses its tackle attack, try to dodge
away from it as it is extremely powerful, and may kill you
in only 1 or 2 hits. Make sure it gets into that Pitfall
Trap you layed down for it. Once it does, detonate the
bombs with a Sm-Barrel Bomb. The Plesioth is bound to
re-enter the water now. If it goes to the back of the
cave (you'll know if it does even if you haven't paint-
balled it because the eye icon will disappear although
the Plesioth doesn't leave the area) you'll need to lure
it out. It's now that you fish with a frog. Eventually
the Plesioth will make its way over to you and pull at
your line. Press X to get a cutscene of you fighting
for it on your pole. Eventually it'll be pulled out of
the water and right onto land. Again attack it while
it is temporarily weakened. Eventually you will
notice the fin on his head and back will collapse. That
is your sign that the Plesioth is dying. Continue attacking
it and it will fall over dead, and you will reign in triumph.
You can carve it 4 times.

Requestor: Survivor
A wyvern attacked my expedition from out of the blue in the volcanic
zone. Where did it come from? Please slay it!
How To:
Basarios is really a pushover. He's really not all that
difficult, but he may be for those who have not fought
him countless times. Well, that's where a guide like this
comes in handy. You're gonna need quite a few items
to be prepared for this quest:
10 Antidotes
10 Blue Mushrooms
10 Antidote Herbs
Lg-Barrel Bombs
Sm-Barrel Bombs
Gunpowder
Large Barrels
20 Whetstones
Pitfall Trap
Trap Tools
Nets
The Basarios ALWAYS appears in Area 2 and always remains there.
You will notice one of the rocks in the center seems out of place
and a little different. That's your Basarios. Set up a Pitfall
Trap in the center of the area and place your Lg-Barrel Bombs
around it. Get close to the Basarios and throw a Paintball at
it. It should shake and come up out of the ground. If it doesn't,
well then you didn't find the right one. Get the Basarios to charge
into your Pitfall Trap and detonate the Lg-Barrel Bombs. That
should do a good amount of damage to him. Now as you look around
the area you'll see some odd-looking rocks that stand by themselves,
but don't loom too tall. These are flint stones. Get the Basarios
to charge into these to cause them to explode and deal great
amounts of damage. Also lead it to crash into walls so you can
cut off its tail for an extra carve. Repeat the same strategy
again with the Pitfall Traps until you have no more or the creature
dies. If you run out of the traps, you will have to resort to
dodging its attacks and striking at its chest, which will break
away and show you the raw meat of his body. That's where you
should be focusing your attacks! When it's close to dying it
will start to use a new attack: the beam attack. This attack
deals massive damage and covers a wide area in front of him.
Avoid this at all costs. Also, when you get too close to the
Basarios it will use an attack that unleashes a poison cloud.
When all is said and done, you will get 3 carves from the Basarios
and a lot of them will be Machalite Ore so it's very well worth
the effort.
Quest Complete!
*Edit*
I received a tip from someone who had read my guide, and it's a
good one so I will include it. Instead of placing the bombs
in the pitfall traps, you have an alternate method. You can
place two of them at a flint stone and coax Basarios into
charging into it, dealing more damage. You can kill him a lot
faster using this method (and I've tested it out to prove it).
Thanks goes to Connor Herrington for that one.

Requestor: Royal Envoy
Rumor has it the hunters here are among the best. A
Monoblos has laid our soldiers low. Now we need your help.
Slay it for us!
How To:
You're in for a nice, long fight here. The Monoblos is
more vicious than even the Rathalos, but if you can best
a Rathalos, you can surely best this menace. Bring the
usual:
10 Sonic Bombs
Screamers (as many as you have)
Gunpowder (as many as you have)
Lg-Barrel Bombs
Large Barrels
Now head over to Area 10 where you will witness a cutscene
involving this fearsome monster. Notice the striking
Crimson Horn on his face? Yeah, you're gonna want to knock
that off of him because you get it 100% if you cut if off
his face. What you want to do is Paintball it right off
the bat, that way he can't surprise you when he cruises
through the ground to jump and attack you. This is where
your Sonic Bombs come in handy. When you see the Monoblos
burrying itself in the sand, throw a Sonic Bomb right as
its tail goes under. The creature will come to the surface
and wriggle around for a bit, giving you free hits on him.
Now, another thing you'll want to do is set up your
Lg-Barrel Bombs against a wall and cause him to charge
the barrels. Naturally, your big, bad wyvern will go BOOM.
Also, if his horn isn't off of his head and he charges into
a wall, it will get stuck. Use this opportunity to try and
slice his tail off. It gives two carves, rather than the
normal 1 you're used to. Once the horn and tail are off,
focus on the creature itself. Keep using the Sonic Bomb
strategy and attack its face when it is stuck in the ground.
If you're out of Sonic Bombs, you'll want to attack the
face and the chest area, as those are where it is the
weakest. When you finally slay the Monoblos you will be
now known as the Hero of Kokoto. The Monoblos will give
you 4 carves.

*Note: When you talk to the Village Chief he will give
you a Hunter Citation. This is the only one you
will get the entire game.
Quest Level - URGENT
These are the "secret" quests, if that's what you'd like
to call them. You need to perform certain things before
you can get these quests, so I'll guide you through that
right now.
First you'll need to clear all other quests. If you have
not, go back and do them so all Quest levels say CLEAR!
Next you'll need to do the following:
The Runaway Diablos - Create one piece of Monoblos Armor
and wear it.
The Shadow in the Cave - Create one piece of Vespoid armor
and wear it.
Terror of the Gravios - Create one piece of Cephalos Armor
and wear it.
Handle with Care! - Clear the "Terror of the Gravios" Quest

A child is lost in the caves. We want to rescue him, but
a gray wyvern is in the area... Please slay the beast!
How To:
This is a nasty wyvern. It has no eyes, so you can never
tell when it sees you (no Monster Eye Icon appears near
your name). It tracks you completely by scent. You're gonna
want to wear armor that has good Lightning Resistance if you
have any. You're also gonna want to bring a weapon that has
the Fire Element on it because that is his major weakness.
You can't really use Pitfall Traps on him unless he leaves
the caves, which is often rare. Bring plenty of bombs like
usual though. Also bring Potions and Mega Potions; his
electricity attacks can hurt... a lot. Also make sure you have
Hot Drinks.
The Khezu usually starts in Area 8 of the Swamp. Drink
a Hot Drink and enter the cave. Look up at the ceiling to spot
the creature. Oft times it just leaves the area and goes to
another cave as soon as you enter, but sometimes you'll get lucky.
You'll want to Paintball it as fast as you can because it likes
to flee the cave to yet another cave. You must be careful when
walking underneath one as it will drop onto you and inflict
massive amounts of damage. Now it's time to fight it. Avoid
hitting the tail at all costs because it's the only spot on it
that you can't penetrate. Also try not to stand directly
in front of it as it can perform a multitude of attacks:
1) Extend its neck outward, knocking you over and inflicting
a surprising amount of damage.
2) Shooting a orb of electricity that splits into 3. This is
his most dangerous attack as it can drain half your health
or more in one hit. It can also paralyze.
3) He will leap forward onto you.
Also, when you're attacking him from the side he will put his
tail in the ground and glow blue. That's your que to move out
of there as fast as possible. He puts up an "electricity shield"
that prevents you from getting to him without getting hurt. When
it's done, just continue attacking as you did before. Set up
Lg-Barrel Bombs around him and if he does the electricity shield
attack, they will detonate upon him. Keep doing that as much
as you can inorder to not waste healing items. When you're out of
the bombs continue to attack its head and stomach, eventually
causing it to topple. When it goes up toward the cave entrance
to leave when it is limping, toss a Sonic Bomb and that will
take care of that. Congratulations, you killed the nastiest
wyvern in the game (looks-wise that is).

Hunting Quest
URGENT QUEST
Terror of the Gravios
Reward: 3800z
Contract: 800z
Time: 50 Minutes
Area: Volcano
Special Conditions: None
Quest Level: 5 Star
Goal Conditions: Slay the Gravios
Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero
Time Over
Requestor: Troubled Noble
A fearsome Gravios has appeared amidst the magma and
desolation of the volcanic zone. Slay the firebreather
for us!
How To:
As you can tell by the reward money, this will be your toughest
quest yet. It is a dreadful quest at that, too. A Gravios
is the adult version of the Basarios, so the attacks are
almost the same. Only differences are that the Gravios
does not pretend to be a rock, uses a sleep gas instead of the
poison one that Basarios uses, and it utilizes its fire beam
attack quite a bit more... actually a lot more. Bring all the
items always outlined in the quests for wyverns. Use Pitfall
Traps whenever you can to help you through this quest. You're
also gonna want to bring 3 Cool Drinks with you as you will be
fighting it in the most extreme of temperatures. The creature
usually appears in Area 5 or Area 7, so that is where you should
focus your attention at first. Make sure to cut off his tail
if you can, as it also gives you 2 carves and his body gives
you 4. Focus on attacking its chest area to pull back the shells
and fight the raw underbelly of the beast. This will probably
be a lengthy battle and you will most likely die once or
twice while you get the hang of his attacks. For further
strategy, look at the Basarios quest.

Fail Conditions:
Reward Zero

Requestor: Royal Armorer
We need large amounts of explosive to make Bowgun ammo.
I want you to bring 1 Powderstone here to me. And be
careful about it!
How To:
Okay, this quest is in fact one of the most annoying quests
you'll ever encounter. The Powderstone is found only in Area 8
and you must carry it all the way back to the camp. I myself
refuse to do this quest offline anymore, regardless of the
rewards (which consist of Commendations and Ruststones).
You'll want to bring Mega Juices to carry the stone back to
camp. Drink a Cool Drink and head to Area 8. Pick up a stone,
return to Area 7 and drop it. Clear out all the enemies in the
path of 7,6,4,1 as that is the easiest way to go. Areas 7, 6, and
1 are easily cleared, but I do not think that Area 4 can be cleared
away. Head back to the Powderstone and use a Mega Juice. Pick up
a stone and start the long aggravating trip back, where you'll
probably drop the stone once or twice and hurl your controller
through your television set.

Troublesome Pair

Requestor: Village Chief
My, how you've become a fine hunter! I have a job for you.
I want you to hunt down a pair of wyverns, a Rathalos and a
Rathian.
How To;
Okay this is by far the most difficult of all the quests, and hence
why it is the hardest to unlock. This is almost exactly the same
difficulty of the online quest, so you will have seen nothing this
powerful until now. You're gonna want to bring all that you've got
on this quest. Bring your most powerful weapon and armors. Bring
all the healing items you can as well as bombs, traps, and other
things that will help you out here.
Rathalos starts in Area 5 and Rathian starts in Area 9. It
is most probable to clear out the Rathalos first as it flies
around way too much and you'll probably be eager to get him out
of the way. Then take on the Rathian. If both creatures
come to the same area (only happens in Area 3) paintball both
creatures and wait until one leaves.
For strategy, refer to the "Attack of the Rathalos" quest again.
When the quest is completed you will be the greatest hunter Kokoto
has ever seen. Congratulations!
Quest Complete!
*SPECIAL NOTE: You can get Rathalos/Rathian Plates from the tail
carves in this quest. They are extremely rare
and offer no importance offline, however.
Now that you have completed the last quest, all movies within the
Gallery at the main menu are unlocked. Enjoy them and prepare yourself
for online mode!
IX) FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Okay, I get tons of e-mails daily of the same old questions, so I've
decided the best way to handle this is add a section where questions are
to be answered. Before you ask me a question, be sure to look in this
section first.
1) Q: How do I cut off the tail of a wyvern? And what wyvern's tails
can be cut off?
A: This is probably the most common question asked in my e-mails and
apparently all over the board as well. First I'll give you a list
of the wyverns in which you can cut off the tails.
Rathalos
Rathian
Basarios
Gravios
Monoblos
Diablos
There you have it, the only wyverns in which you can remove the
tail of. Now the number of carves varies depending on the wyvern.
1 carve from the tail:
Rathalos
Rathian
Basarios
Diablos
2 carves from the tail:
Monoblos
Gravios
Now you can use most any weapon class to cut off a wyvern's tail.
The only weapon class I can think of that would be inefficient on
doing so would I guess be the hammer. I don't use hammer, but
since it's a blunt weapon, I'm assuming it can't do it.
If you ask me, the best weapon to use to take off the tail of a
wyvern is the Great Sword, the Lance, and the Dual Swords. I
usually cut them off with the Dual Swords, but the other two
work just as well, or even better.
For the Dual Swords, the best way to take the tail off is to do
the R1 charge and then press down on the right analog stick.
This procures the maximum amount of attacks in a single, straight
forward attack from the Dual Swords and makes short work of the
tail of the Rathalos and Rathian. However, it isn't so effective
on the Basarios, Diablos, Basarios, and Monoblos.
Overall, I would say the Lance is the prime choice for tail
removal because it is so precise. Just use the upward slash
against the tail and it'll come off in no time. This works
great against the Diablos, Gravios, Basarios, and the Monoblos.
The Great Sword is also very useful in this aspect. Just use
the downward slash and then the side slash in a continuous combo
if you're online. But if you're doing it offline you don't have
to worry about hitting people with the upslash so use the downward
slash followed by the uppercut slash; this will take care of that
tail as if it was butter.
You can also effectively take off the tail with even a gun. Just
load your gun with Pierce shots and Crag shots and it'll work out
quite well, or so I've been told.
2) Q: My friend so-and-so says I can get the later game carves and
gatherings offline in the 3* and up quests. How come your guide
says they are online Hunter Rank 13+?
A: Well, your friend obviously has been mislead by the BradyGames
guide. You should slap your friend for being gullible. You
can only get the Hunter Rank 13+ items online at Hunter Rank 13+
during the 4 Star quests - 6 Star quests only, hence being called
Hunter Rank 13+ items. The only exception to this rule would be
the Rathalos and the Rathian Plates, which can also be carved in
the Troublesome Pair quest (the only offline quest that gives them).
3) Q: You don't have the tactic I use when fighting [insert creature's
name here]. Why not?
A: Well now, isn't that a stupid question. Obviously it's because I'm
not you. But seriously, if you have a tactic that works better than
the ones I have, by all means e-mail me with it. If I try it out,
and it works for me, you can almost guarantee it'll be added here.
Don't be shy, let other hunter's know how you take care of the
big, bad, horrible creatures of Monster Hunter.
4) Q: Why is Kaezar so studly?
A: Kaezar is the most elusive, studly creature you'll ever find online.
Once common, he is now rarer than a Rathalos Plate. If you spot him
online people will assume you've taken a bit too much of your share of
alcohol. It's better to keep Kaezar sightings to yourself as they will
be met with harsh criticism.
5) Q: Do you still play this game online? If so, we should quest together.
A: Of course I still play online. I'm probably the only person that
can say they've been playing the US Version of Monster Hunter since
July (the US release was in September and I was a BETA tester). I
just can't get enough of this game. All you have to do is send me
an e-mail about when you want to play and where you'll be. If I'm
available I'll e-mail you back and log in. Now how do you like them
apples?
6) Q; Is this game pay to play online? If so, how much is it?
A: It's $22.50 a month. No seriously, there is no fee to play online.
CAPCOM charges Japanese players to play online, but it's free here
in the United States and Canada. I don't know about any other
countries though, so you're gonna have to ask people of that country
if it's free or not.
7) Q: Why did you go through the work of creating this guide?
A: Well one day back in July I was bored. I said to myself, "Self,
how can I stop myself from being bored?" And the answer came to
me. Why not write up something to help others in a game that I've
come to love more than life itself. And there you have it. At this
point, this guide was born. I get praise from a lot of people, but
seriously, if you have complaints, e-mail me them. I love to hear
what people think, positive or negative. Suggestions are welcome
and I will get around to answering all e-mails I get.
8) Q: What is this headlocking I hear about? What does it do?
A: This headlocking you hear about is probably one of the greatest
things you'll ever find throughout the game. It is also one of
the reasons that people hold the Lance in such high regard. You
can do it with a Lance, a Great Sword, and Dual Swords that I know
of. If you know how to do it with any other weapon, please feel
free to let me know about that.
For the lance:
All you have to do is continually hit the head of a wyvern, such
as a Rathalos, with your lance. The best way to do this is to
use the forward slash and then follow up with two upward slashes.
If done right, the wyvern will sort of lower its head and be what
we will call "temporarily stunned." If you keep doing this,
remembering to use the wonderful sidestep/backstep move, you
can fell the wyvern in a matter of minutes. You're gonna need
a powerful weapon that can hold off through the battle. The only
ones that I've tried it with are the Babel Spear, Ogre Tusk, and
the Black Dragon Spear so I don't know which other ones will get
you through it.
For Great Sword:
What is there to really say about the Great Sword? I haven't used
a Great Sword in ages so I'm a little rusty on doing this. Again
you're gonna need a powerful enough weapon. I've done it with the
Eager Cleaver and Divine Slasher as those are really the only
Great Swords I've used. I know it can be done with the Eternal
Annihilator as well as the Red Dragonsword so you'll have to
see which ones work out for you. I guess you can do the headlock
in one of two different ways. You can do the downward slash
followed by the upswing provided you're playing alone. If you're
playing with other people attacking the wyvern, use the downward
slash followed by the side swing. Just keep doing this infinitely
and you'll keep it in this "temporarily stunned" state. Personally,
I prefer to do this with lance over anything.
For Dual Swords:
This is a fun one to use. Now I've only tested this out on the
Dual Dragon Ultimus so any other Dual Swords I wouldn't know.
This one is probably a little trickier as you have to use a
Mega or Power Juice and then press down on the Right Analog stick
to unleash flurry of blows. Most often you need to have them all
connect, but sometimes if two hits miss it still works. Now you're
gonna have to follow up with the same attack almost immediately after
yours finishes. Timing is everything on this one. Like I said, this
one is a lot trickier and does probably take a bit more time to
master.
There you have the headlocking. If you're gonna want to do the
headlocking though, I insist you use the lance. It's the most
effective at it really considering the precision of the weapon.
Have fun.
9) Q: How do I make Dual Swords?
A: Well since I've had tons of questions regarding this and many other
weapons, I've decided to add a whole entire new section devoted to
weapon creation. I didn't include the materials because there
are other FAQs you can look at that deal with it, but this will have
the basic paths you have to go for the weapons. I hope this helps you
out for all of those that inquire about weapon paths. Maybe I'll
eventually get around to putting in the Weapons and Armor, but that's
probably asking a bit too much out of me. We'll see how the times
come along.
More to come soon probably.
