How Monster Hunter Rise Quests Work
There are two places where players can take on new quests in Rise of the Monster Hunter. There are village quests, which can be started by talking to Hinoa in Kamura Village. She hangs out near the merchant cart with a bull-like monster. Village quests are solo-only, but can help new hunters get to grips with the game without having to go online.
By traveling to the Gathering Hub, players can speak to Minoto to undertake Hub Quests, which players will want to complete in order to eventually reach High Rank and see the story unfold. These can be done alone, but players can also join up to three other hunters.
Most quests will involve hunting a specific monster in a certain biome. There will be a time limit for all quests, so keep that in mind when playing. Hunting a monster means players will either have to kill or capture the monster in question. Capturing monsters is a bit advanced, but can help hunters get more rewards or different monster materials.
Once hunters start the quest, large monsters in the area will all spawn on the map. If a player has not yet encountered the monster, there will be a question mark on the map in place of the monster’s image.
Cut out the monster
Once a monster has been killed and the quest is complete, remember to carve the monster for materials by walking towards it and pressing A. The whole point of monster hunter is to defeat a monster, get its materials, then craft new weapons/equipment with those materials, then flush and repeat.
