Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the A Cooling Crystal subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
A Cooling Crystal Subquest Details
The A Cooling Crystal subquest can be started by speaking with the Pruney Hunter standing by the hot spring at the Darj Rock Baths. This hunter is concerned that his boss is going to be mad at him for spending so much time slacking off at the hot springs. To lessen the blow, he thinks bringing back some Ice Crystals will help. The catch is that he wants you to get all 5 of them for him.
How to Complete the A Cooling Crystal Subquest
As requested by the Pruney Hunter, your Rider needs to collect 5 Ice Crystals that he can take to his boss in an effort to not get in as much trouble. To find the crystals, head to the Darj Snowfields and search the area for the yellow ore veins that have a chance to drop them.
Additionally, you’ll want to fight the mini-shark Zamites who also have a chance to drop the crystals upon being defeated. They like to use two skills, Overpower and Bloodsuck. Overpower will drop the target’s defense while Bloodsuck deals damage to the target while healing the Zamite. When they aren’t using one of those two skills, they will use a technical-typed attack which can be countered with power-type attacks. Once you have all 5 Ice Crystals, return to the Pruney Hunter to deliver and receive your rewards.
Rewards
Upon completing the A Cooling Crystal subquest, you’ll be rewarded with an Essence Vitale and 1200 Zenny.
