Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Vicious Vultures subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Vicious Vultures Subquest Details
The Vicious Vultures subquest can be started by speaking with the Achy hunter bathing in the hot spring at the Darj Rock Baths. He’ll tell you all about the monster he is here to slay but was able to start because all of the Zamite getting in the way. In an effort to make the job easier, the hunter will ask you to help him slay 6 Zamite together. We’ll cover the snow fields while he… stays at the hot spring, you know. In case one gets past us.
How to Complete the Vicious Vultures Subquest
As requested by the Achy Hunter sill chilling in the hot spring, you’ll need to defeat 6 Zamite for this request. Luckily for us, they are supper common in the Darj Snowfields and extremely hostile so you’ve most likely already run more than a few at this point.
When facing them, Zamites 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. When defeated, they also have a chance to drop Ice Crystals which you’ll need for the A Cooling Crystal subquest which is also received at the Darj Rock Baths. Upon defeating six of the baby shark things, return to the Achy Hunter to turn in the subquest and receive your rewards.
Rewards
Upon completing the Vicious Vultures subquest, you’ll be rewarded with a Scrummy Recipes book and 1200 Zenny.
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.
Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Welcoming Lights subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Welcoming Lights Subquest Details
The Welcoming Lights subquest can be started by speaking with the Furthful Palico standing near the hot spring at the Darj Rock Baths. This furry feline will mention to you that he has a thing for shiny Flashbugs found in the Darj Snowfields. Since the Hunters are slacking off, he requests that you find 2 Flashbugs and bring them to him.
How to Complete the Welcoming Lights Subquest
As stated above, for this subquest you’ll need to collect a pair of Flashbugs for the Furthful Palico. To find them, return to the Darj Snowfields and search for insect gathering points marked by a butterfly flying around. Collecting them will have a random chance to receive one of the Flashbugs.
You can make this process go faster by entering Monster Dens in search of the insert along with hatching a Zamtiros which has the ability to swim in the water. This will allow you to reach additional bug spawns. Once you have two copies of the Flashbug, return to the Palico to turn in the subquest and receive your rewards.
Rewards
Upon completing the Welcoming Lights subquest, you’ll be rewarded with a Bottle Cap and 1000 Zenny.
Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Back in the Water subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Back in the Water Subquest Details
The Back in the Water subquest can be started by speaking with the Achy Hunter relaxing in the hot spring at the Darj Rock Baths. He’ll tell your Rider that the real reason he’s here is to hunt a Zamtrios known as the Shapeshifter but is feeling lightheaded due to staying in the hot spring for an extended period. Thus it now falls to you and your Monsties to stop the Shapeshifter before it can hurt anyone! (Please note that you’ll need to complete the Vicious Vultures subquest in order to start this one.)
How to Complete the Back in the Water Subquest
To find the Shapeshifter, return to the Dark Snowfields then follow the path south of the cabins to spot the monster.
Just like any Zamtrios it uses technical-typed moves, so counter with power attacks. It often uses its Ice Armor skill, covering itself in ice spikes to boost its defense. It can also use Spread Frost Breath, which targets both your Rider and Monstie, with a chance to seal their skills for a few turns. We also noticed in this fight that it would also throw in a random speed-type attack here and there. Once you take the monster down, return to the Achy Hunter at the Dark Rock Baths to turn in the subquest and receive your rewards.
Rewards
Upon completing the Back in the Water subquest, you’ll be rewarded with a Grt Sword: Focus skill and 2500 Zenny.

Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Rider Reports 2 subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Rider Reports 2 Subquest Details
The Rider Reports 2 subquest can be started by speaking with the Protective Rider across from the Hall of Rites in Hakum Village. He’ll tell you about a Blue Yian Kut-Ku called the Wily Bird that has been seen nearby and injured a couple of villagers. You’ll then be asked to slay the beast before it can cause any more harm. For this subquest to show up, you’ll need to have completed the Rider Reports 1 subquest and the A Catavan Quandary story quest first.
How to Complete the Rider Reports 2 Subquest
To complete this subquest, you’ll need to exit Hakum Village to reach Pondry Hills. Once you are there, you should see a blue objective marker on the map. Follow that to reach a Subquest Den with a silver color. This is where the Wily Bird calls home. Head inside then make your way to the deepest part of the den where the nest can be found to locate the monster. Run into him to engage the bird in glorious combat!
For this fight, the Wily Bird will alternate between shooting fireballs at you and using technical attacks. After knocking it down or winning a head-to-head battle, it will switch to use its peak speed skill so make sure to use a technical attack to counter this. We used the Arzuros at the start of the fight then rode on him when the Wily Bird started using its speed attacks. After winning three bouts, we finished it off with our Kinship skills. Once you defeat the monster, return to the Protective Rider in the village to turn in the subquest and receive your reward!
Rewards
Upon completing the Rider Reports 2 subquest, you’ll be rewarded with S&S: Bash and 1500 Zenny.
Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Call of the Kut-Ku subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Call of the Kut-Ku Subquest Details
The Call of the Kut-Ku subquest can be started by interacting with the Quest Board in Hakum Village, choosing Normal, and then selecting it from the list. The client will tell the rider that their research involving the Konchu causes them to reek of the monster which results in them being frequently attacked by the Yian Kut-Ku. Because of this, they are asking for your help in defeating the monster so they can go outside again! Please note that this subquest won’t become available until after you complete the Cheval and Lilia story quest.
How to Complete the Call of the Kut-Ku Subquest
To pursue this subquest, exit the village to reach the Pondry Hills and follow the white road north through the area. Just before reaching the lake, there will be a giant rock on the left side of the road with a Yian Kut-Ku on top and another circling it on the ground. Run into the one on the ground to engage it in battle then show it the old 1-2!
A couple of things to keep in mind during the fight. The Yian Kut-Ku will often spit fireballs at you, so any accessories or gear you may have to reduce fire damage will help out in this fight. It also will attack using technical attacks so counter that with power attacks of your own. The Arzuros Monstie is a good choice if here if you happen to have one. Defeating the monster will complete the subquest objective, so all you need to do now is return to the Quest Board to receive your rewards!
Rewards
Upon completing the Call of the Kut-Ku subquest, you’ll be rewarded with a pair of potions and 700 Zenny.
Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Honey Guard subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
The Honey Guard Subquest Details
The Honey Guard subquest can be started by interacting with the Quest Board in Hakum Village, choosing Normal, and then selecting it from the list. The client for this task talks about how much he loves freshly gathered natural honey, but every time he tries to go collect some, an Arzuros attacks him. Thus he’s submitted a subquest to have the bear dealt with! Please note that this subquest won’t become available until after you complete the Cheval and Lilia story quest.
How to Complete the Honey Guard Subquest
To pursue this subquest, exit the village to reach the Pondry Hills and follow the white road north through the area. As you get close to the lake, keep your eye on the right side of the path to spot an Arzuros wandering around. Run into the guardian of honey to engage it in battle.
For this fight, the Arzuros will use power attacks so make sure to counter that with some speed attacks of your own. Your starting Monstie the Velocidrome is a good pick here or any other speed Monsties you have have. Keep an eye out for when the bear starts eating honey. This will give it a buff that regenerates its health for the next few turns. Outside of that, it shouldn’t be too hard to take down. Once you defeat the monster, return to the Quest Board in the village to turn it in and receive your reward!
Rewards
Upon completing the Honey Guard subquest, you’ll be rewarded with 3 Honey and 600 Zenny.
