Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Hermitaur Repelling subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Hermitaur Repelling Subquest Details
The Hermitaur Repelling 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 mention that some Hermitaurs have moved into the lake water at Pondry Hill tasking you with slaying 5 of them in an effort to make the area safe again.
How to Complete the Hermitaur Repelling Subquest
After you accept this request, exit the village to reach the Pondry Hills. From there, you’ll want to follow the white road all the way to the lake in the northern part of the area. Once you get there, circle the lake in search of the hermit crabs (aka, Hermitaurs). Engage them in battle and defeat 5 of them as per requested in the subquest.
Some things to keep in mind while fighting them. They use technical attacks so power is going to be your friend for this fight. Also, the Hermituars like to enter a defense stance to buff their defense. This also allows them to reflect a majority of the damage you deal to them during your next attack back at you for additional damage. It is because of this that it would be a good idea to make sure you are stocked up on Herbs before you challenge them. Once you’ve taken down 5, return to the Quest Board in the village to complete the subquest and receive your rewards.
Rewards
Upon completing the Hermitaur Repelling subquest, you’ll be rewarded with 3 Whetstones and 400 Zenny.
