Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Running Free subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Running Free Subquest Details
The Running Free subquest is a 3 star subquest that can be started by speaking with the Talkative Man in Hakum Village after reaching Gildegaran. He’ll tell your Rider about the sick Great Sword named the Azure Serpentblade. Its sleek and swift movements are said to be akin to a Velocidrome hunting down its prey! This will then lead to a request where the Talkative Man will ask the Rider to show him one!
How to Complete the Running Free Subquest
In order to complete this subquest, you’ll need to forge the Azure Serpentblade and show it to the Talkative man. You can do this by visiting any Smith (like the one in Hakum Village) and selecting “Forge Quests” then “Veloci Great Sword” to start the quest where you’ll have the sword forged. For the Smith to make this happen you’ll need to pay 2500z in addition to providing 7pts worth of Velocidrome material in the form of Velocidrome Hide (1pt) and Velocidrome Claw (3pts).
If you don’t have the materials, then you can find Velocidrome in the Pondry Hills to hunt. They are the ones with the orange fin atop their heads as in the image below. Once you’ve had the sword forged, return to the Talkative Man, equip the Azure Serpentblad, and then speak with him to turn in the quest.
Rewards
Upon completing the Running Free subquest, you’ll be rewarded with the GS: Last Stand skill and 4000 Zenny.
