Advanced Quests are a special type of quest. Most of them involve hunting multiple monsters in combinations of back-to-back hunts and double hunt followed by single hunt. Several of them here have monsters scaled to High Rank stats instead of the usual Low Rank, which is what village comprises of. And quite a few of them have monsters scaled even beyond what the Hunter’s Hub High Rank provides, giving you quite the challenge (and for those multimonsters quests, several of them require you to fight two simultaneously…because why not?). Please make sure you have the appropriate gear because unless you are a genius savant, you will be cruelly defeated.

If you don’t see these appear, it’s either one of these two reasons:

1. It just isn’t on rotation. Advanced Quests will randomly appear depending on the “day”. If what you see isn’t what you want, do a quest and see if it comes back.

2. You haven’t unlocked it yet altogether. Several of these Advanced Quests are tied to Hunter’s Hub quests or, more commonly, your actually Hunter’s Rank . So if you’re not seeing quests you want, go to Hunter’s Hub and rank up by completing the key quests in each tier. You’ll definitely want to work your way up to High Rank to see a good majority of these.

Don’t worry, this page will detail to you all the requirements for each quest!

Advanced: Fungus Fetchin¶

Objective: Deliver 20 Unique Mushrooms

Location: Misty Peaks

Subquest: None

Notes: You need to complete the 5-star Hunter’s Hub quest “Liver and Let Die” to unlock this quest. This quest is unstable and Rathian, Nargacuga, or Deviljho could spawn on you. Complete this quest to reward yourself with the Tanzia Sweetheart as a potential Housekeeper.

Advanced: Jurassic Treasure¶

Objective: Hunt a Glavenus

Location: Jurassic Frontier

Subquest: None

Notes: To see this quest, you need to complete the 4-star village quest “Jurassic Treasure: The Bug” and then also get your Hunter Rank up to HR7 (well into Hunter’s Hub High Rank). From these requirements you can probably tell: this is a High Rank Glavenus and its stats are beefed up to represent that! Complete this quest to receive the Kingmeat, a key item to let you craft the special Hammer Enormous Ham.

Advanced: Sly Swooper¶

Objective: Hunt a Yian Garuga

Location: Verdant Hills

Subquest: None

Notes: To see this quest, get to HR5 in the Hunter’s Hub. Then, chat with Kokoto Village’s Dundorma Guardsman (the guy with the huge lance). Completion of this quest rewards you with a few armor sets: Guardian and Guardian U. You’ll also unlock the Lance Guardian Lance and you’ll unlock a new 6-star village quest: “Advanced: Invisible Thief”.

Advanced: Invoking Rath¶

Objective: Hunt a Rathalos and a Rathian

Location: Verdant Hills

Subquest: None

Notes: To see this quest, get to HR8. That’s the top end of Hunter’s Hub High Rank, so this quest is pretty difficult! Completing this quest will rewards you with the EX Rathalos Ticket. Now you can forge the EX Ratahlos armor set!

Advanced: Seismic Scares¶

Objective: Hunt 2 Tigrex

Location: Jurassic Frontier

Subquest: None

Notes: To see this quest, complete the HR7 Hunter’s Hub Quest “Tigrex, Tigrex, Burning Bright”. Then, you need to have at least 1,500 Bherna Points (a.k.a complete enough village requests to accumulate 1,500 Wycademy Points that came from Bherna requests). You’ll be rewarded with the EX Tigrex Ticket S to forge the EX Tigrex S armor set. And you get the Felyne gear F Felcote’s Coat .

Advanced: Twinkle Toes¶

Objective: Hunt a Duramboros

Location: Misty Peaks

Subquest: None

Notes: To see this quest, complete the 6-star village quest “Advanced: Seeing Red”. Duramboros is an enormous health sponge and is also pitifully weak to poison. Slices through his health like a knife through butter and will help you keep damage up since he’s charging all the time. Completion of this quest rewards you with the 7-star Hunter’s Hub quest “The Marshlands Nightmare” and the Hammer Portsmark can now be crafted.

Advanced: Seltas Queen¶

Objective: Hunt a Seltas Queen

Location: Primal Forest

Subquest: None

Notes: To see this quest, get to HR6 in the Hunter’s Hub. Seltas Queen is always accompanied by her male counterpart, Seltas, whom she can summon and control at will to augment her attacks. If you kill Seltas she can dig up/summon another whenever she wants, so just pretend that Seltas is kind of “part of her” since that’s what he will eventually become. Poor Seltas.

Complete this quest to unlock the 6-star village quest “Advanced: Barrage of Blue”.

Advanced: The Goliaths¶

Objective: Hunt all large monsters (Tigrex, Rathalos, Glavenus)

For your Palico, they get F Edel and F Edel S armor and the F Edel Rod and F Edel Rod S weapons.
