Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the Shape-Shifter Shark subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
Shape-Shifter Shark Subquest Details
The Shape-Shifter Shark subquest is a 2 star subquest that can be started by interacting with any Quest Board after reaching Gildegaran, choosing Normal, and then selecting it from the list. The client, a Curious Boy, will tell the Rider about a most that could shape-shift by swelling up and pushing out spikes. Intrigued, the boys will request that the ride find out how it does such a miraculous thing by slaying it in glorious combat!
How to Complete the Shape-Shifter Shark Subquest
To complete this subquest, you’ll need to slay a Zamtrios which can be found in the Darj Snowfields. If you travel to the cabins and then follow the path east from the Catavan Stand, you might run into one there. If there isn’t one then it might be a monster required for another subquest. Defeat it and the Zamtrios should show up. Alternatively, you can enter Monster Dens until you find one.
When fighting the Zamtrios, they usually attack with technical moves, so counter with power attacks. It often uses its Ice Armor skill, covering itself in ice spikes to boost its defense. After a Power Clash victory, Zamtrios tends to follow up with a power attack, so hit it with a speed attack. 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. When it’s angry, it starts adding technical attacks to its mix. After defeating the monster, the subquest objective will be completed. Return to any Quest Board to turn in the subquest and receive your reward.
Rewards
Upon completing the Shape-Shifter Shark subquest, you’ll be rewarded with a Demondrug and 900 Zenny.
