He asks the Rider to slay the creature so he can study its unique skin up close.

How to Complete the A Fascinating Khezu Subquest

For this subquest, you’ve got to take down a Khezu hanging out in the final area of Wintertide Tunnel. This beast loves technical attacks, so hit it back with power-type moves. Keep an eye on its Roar skill, which can knock you down and leave you vulnerable to more damage. Watch out for its Sav Thunder Breath too, as it shoots an electric ball that packs a punch. When it gets mad, it uses Electric Discharge to hit both you and your Monstie, possibly causing paralysis. Don’t let your guard down, as it might switch to power-type attacks now and then. Once you’ve defeated the Khezu, the subquest will be complete. Head back to any Quest Board to claim your rewards!

Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Smash or Smoosh subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!

Smash or Smoosh Subquest Details

The Smash or Smoosh subquest is a 2 star subquest that can be started by speaking with the Senior Hunter in Gildegaran near the town square. He’ll excitedly tell you about the super cool hammer known as the Meaty Smash. It’s rumored to be hard like ice…or soft like meat? Either way, it’s made from materials carved from a Zamtrios. Our new friend will then inform the Rider that while he would get one himself, his wife would not approve of him getting another weapon. So instead he requests that we bring one to show him!

How to Complete the Smash or Smoosh Subquest

In order to complete this request, you’ll need to obtain the Meaty Smash hammer and show it to the Senior Hunter. This can be done by heading over to the Smith found along the staired path leading to the bell and talking with him. You’ll then need to select “Forge Requests” and then “Zamtrios Weapon Set”. Completing this quest will allow you to forge the Meaty Smash (and the Sharkutter). You can do this by delivering 10 pts. worth of Zamtrios materials which are: Zamtrios Hide (1 pt.), Zamtrios Fin (3 pts.), and Zamtrios Tailblade (10 pts.). In addition, you’ll also need to pay 3000 Zenny.

The smith to forge Zamtrios Weapon Set for the Smash or Smoosh Subquest in MHS

Depending on how much fighting you’ve done, you may already have enough materials to forge the weapons. If not, then you’ll need to travel to the Darj Mountain Cabins in the Snowfields. From there, if you head south, a Zamtrios might be spawned along the path leading toward the Wintertide Tunnel entrance. If not, then you’ll want to run through Monster Dens until you find one. Alternatively, you can travel between regions to try and get the Zamtirios to spawn.

After procuring enough materials worth of points, return to the Smith in Gildegaran and deliver them (along with 3000z) to complete the Forge Quest thus receiving your weapons. Head back to the Senior Hunter then go into your Equipment Tab in the Camp Menu to equip your shiny new Meaty Smash hammer. This will complete the subquest objective flagging the quest for turn in. You can now speak with the Senior Hunter to show him the hammer and complete the subquest!
