It was nearly a decade ago when I first caught the monster hunting bug.

Admittedly, the beginning was quite rough. There I was, hunting the first “boss” type creature in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite as I ran into the Giadrome during my first Urgent Quest deep within the Snowy Mountains. I still remember sitting in my living room dumbfounded as I stared at my PSP screen after my hunter fainted the first time.

“Wait, is this supposed to be the weakest boss in this game?” I thought to myself, the pride I built up from conquering many action games through the years shredded to pieces.

“How is this even possible?”

It was a feeling I haven’t felt since playing games like Battletoads, the first Ninja Gaiden on the NES, and Contra III: The Alien Wars. There I was, staring at a huge wall that felt impossible to scale. It’s a wall that anybody who plays a Monster Hunter game for the first time eventually runs into. Some walk away in a huff while cursing the game’s seemingly cumbersome controls and vowing to never play it again. Others, however, persevere until something clicks and they manage to scale that wall. By the time Monster Hunter Tri rolled in I was able to solo Alatreon online with a light bowgun. For someone who struggled mightily with a Giadrome, it’s the kind of growth that makes you appreciate each and every single wall that the series constantly throws your way. It’s also a big reason why Monster Hunter fans love the game as much as they do, with some folks such as myself even importing the Japanese version in order to play it early.

This brings us to the latest incarnation in the franchise, “Monster Hunter Generations.” A celebration of the entire series, Generations — also known as Monster Hunter X in Japan — throws in several touches that fans of the series can appreciate. This includes familiar village hubs such as Kokoto, Pokke and Yukumo. The game also features appearances by characters from various entries in the series.

Even as it celebrates the series’ past, however, the game introduces arguably the biggest mechanical changes in the series to date. It’s a risky proposition as the balance of the core Monster Hunter fighting mechanics is the key reason for its appeal among fans. Adding the ability to mount monsters in Monster Hunter 4 — something I really enjoy, by the way — was a huge source of consternation at first among some folks who worried that it would make the game too easy. Now you have Generations adding special moves known as Hunter Arts and not one, not two, but three new hunting styles on top of the traditional Guild Style controls.

The new Hunter Arts, which require you to fill up a meter during hunts before you can use them, are quite plentiful in number and utility. A few can be used universally but the bulk are specific to a certain weapon and typically can be leveled up. You have offensive arts such as the Great Sword’s damaging Brimstone Slash or the Hammer’s Spinning Meteor, for example. Others are more defensive such as Castle Walls or the escape-friendly Absolute Evasion. You have more utilitarian arts such as Heal Gain or the Insect Glaive’s Extract Hunter as well.

Adding to the big changes are Hunting Styles, which affect the actual combat in the game. These include Striker Style, which typically has a simpler moveset but allows you to pick three Hunter Arts and build up your special move meter faster. Aerial Style changes your dodge to a longer hopping roll that lets you bounce off of foes, Palicoes and even certain enemy attacks to get airborne and launch a leaping strike that can make mounting a monster possible. Adept Style lets experienced hunters perform an upgraded evasion when dodging at the last minute, allowing for “Insta-Moves” right after. Otherwise, traditionalists can opt for the classic Guild Style, which also lets you pick two Hunter Arts.

Add 14 weapons to the mix and you have a breadth of gameplay options that extends the gameplay quite extensively. Pick Aerial Style and the Insect Glaive, for example, and your hunter turns into an agile, offensive acrobat that rules the air. Adept Style, meanwhile, allows Light Bowgun users to constantly pump out damage thanks to auto reload while also providing Heavy Bowgun users with improved mobility and sieging. If you’ve been playing Monster Hunter for years, the new styles are a much welcome breath of fresh air that brings new life to the series’ classic combat. The weapons themselves also get some tweaks, with the oft-maligned Sword and Shield getting a much needed boost in the form of oils. Depending on the oil you use, you can either greatly raise affinity, increase the rate you can exhaust monsters or get a Mind’s Eye effect that prevents your weapon from bouncing. For Insect Glaive users, leveling up Kinsects is also a much more streamlined process compared to the previous game.

Despite not being a “G” or “U” game that typically denotes extended features, Generations still features a large amount of content. In addition to the aforementioned combat options, the game adds extras such as Prowler Mode, which lets you go on hunts as 'the 15th weapon' a Palico. That’s right, you can now control a cat like a hunter to take on the game's stable of monsters either with other fellow Palicoes or even human hunters. Besides the ability to burrow in a pinch, cats come with their own set of combos and skills that turn them into tiny hunting terrors. While they are not able to use your hunter’s items, they come with advantages such as pickaxes and bug nets that don’t break, making them great for gathering. Load your cat with the various Boomerang skills and it becomes a tiny terror even against Deviant monsters. You also have side stuff like Meownster Hunter mode, which lets you play a mini-game as you send out cats to gather or tackle big monsters. There are a ton of side missions known as Village Requests that can be unlocked by clearing quests and talking to the various folks in the villages as well.

Naturally, the star of each Monster Hunter game are the monsters and Generations does not disappoint in that aspect. Great Maccao is arguably the most mechanically interesting of the minor lizard bosses to date thanks to its unconventional moves. Then you’ve got a new collection of big baddies joining older monsters to keep things interesting. Monsters such as Gammoth, Mizutsune and Astalos are visually compelling and continue the game’s tradition of pumping out awesome-looking creatures. Glavenus is also an imposing and well-designed beast that will likely serve as the first wall for Monster Hunter veterans. In addition to excellent attack range and closing ability that makes it a menace from medium to even long distances, Generations’ mascot is also a sight to behold as it sends sparks flying after it licks then sharpens its tail with its teeth. In addition to several new creatures, the game also adds Deviant monsters that require special permits to hunt. These foes are tougher than regular monsters but can reward you with rare gear that, while they don’t have slots, come with pretty powerful skill combinations. Needless to say, content is not an issue with Generations and there’s a reason the the official Japanese guidebook for the game has bigger dimensions as well as 1,088 pages — the most I’ve seen for an official guide for the series.

Although Generations adds a lot of new content, it does take out expeditions from the previous game. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of expeditions but I can see some folks decrying their loss. Meownster Hunter, not to be confused with the fun Prowler mode, also isn’t as enjoyable as the Palico hunting game from Monster Hunter 4U. Given the added mechanics from the new Hunting Styles, I wish the included tutorial was more fleshed out as it doesn’t do nearly enough to help new hunters really understand the key mechanics behind each weapon and style. It’s fine for the most rudimentary basics but could be a lot better. Anyway, I just wish it went the extra mile the same way Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator did with its tutorial. I also feel that most quests can be too easy with a full party. As with past games, I still think that two-member online quests provide the best hunting experience in terms of balancing difficulty. The Adept Mode hunting style, meanwhile, can be borderline game-breaking for folks who master the timing for its special evasion, especially when used with weapons such as the Bow, for example.

All that being said, Monster Hunter Generations is more than worthy as a new entry in the action series. In addition to the breadth of new content and mechanics, I especially like how everything is much more streamlined, whether it be how materials are acquired or even the ability to substitute different mats when crafting gear. Whether you’re a veteran looking for a fresh experience or a newcomer interested in trying the game out, I heartily recommend joining this new hunt.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Monster Hunter Generations does an excellent job in honoring the past while welcoming the new, thanks to a slew of new hunting styles and mechanics as well as a wealth of content that will keep players occupied for hours and hours upon hours. Folks who don’t get the hang of its technical combat will likely continue to wonder what the fuss is all about. For those who give its monsters the attention and respect they demand in order to do well, however, Monster Hunter Generations’ newly polished gameplay hits it out of the ballpark once more.

Unlike the previous tier, which had numerous different village request chains, this tier has requests spread far and few between. So don’t worry, it’s super simple this time to keep track of everything! The requests will be covered Kokoto first, then Pokke, then Yukumo, and finally Bherna.

Jurassic Treasure: The Frog

Objective: Capture a Tetsucabra

Location: Jurassic Frontier

Subquest: None

Notes: Talk to Treshi in Kokoto Village for this request. If you haven’t done any training quests, this will be your first capture quest. If you’ve never captured before, I strongly recommend you take on the training quest “Hunter Training: Capturing”, to get a feel for it. Also check out our guide section 'Capture vs Kill' for full capture coverage.

Completion of this quest will give you access to a new ingredient for your Kitchen: Tailed Frog!

Local Threat

Objective: Hunt a Yian Kut-Ku

Monster Hunter Generations Village 6 Quest

Location: Verdant Hills

Subquest: Wound Yian Kut-Ku’s head

Notes: In order to get this request you have to complete the 2-star quest 'Hunt Down the Velocidrome!' Then, you can talk to the Kokoto Chief for this request. It’s basically a clone of the key quest “Stomping Grounds” but in their local area Verdant Hills. Yian Kut-Ku’s flamboyant head crest is actually its ears. Aim for the head and beak area and you’ll be able to do the subquest easily!

Complete this quest to unlock the next request 'Into the Wyvern’s Den'.

Into the Wyverns Den

Objective: Deliver 2 Wyvern Eggs

Location: Verdant Hills

Subquest: None

Notes: Complete “Local Threat” to unlock this quest from the Kokoto Chief. You’ll want to head to area 5 of Verdant Hills. Unfortunately for you, it appears you have a quest… Astalos will be sleeping in the nest! Ugh, now you have to trot that egg all the way back to base camp with an Astalos trying to kill you. If you have the gear for it, you can try to kill the Astalos, but its stats are hugely inflated so good luck. Skills like Pro Transporter and Felyne Lander will help you greatly here, particularly Felyne Lander which will shorten the path and all you go jump down the ledges in area 6.

This will unlock the 5-star village quest 'The Thunderclaw Wyvern'.

Cancer of the Dunes

Objective: Slay 10 Hermitaur before time expires or deliver a Paw Pass Ticket

Location: Dunes

Subquest: None

Notes: Talk to Trenya in Pokke Village for this request. You must kill 10 of the Hermitaurs, the small crabs, and then a Paw Pass Ticket will appear. Deliver the ticket. The blue box provides you with a convenient Farcaster that you can use to warp instantly back to base camp. This quest is unstable.

Completion of the quest will unlock the 4-star village quest 'Hunt-a-thon: Velocidrome'. Additionally, you will be rewarded with a Giant Acorn that will let you craft the Felyne Bowgun .

The Shadow in the Mountains

Objective: Hunt a Khezu

Location: Arctic Ridge

Subquest: Mount and topple monster twice

Notes: This is a request from the Pokke Village Chief, but you have to complete the 2-star village quest 'The Mountain Roughrider' before you’ll see it. This is another quest worth doing if you’re into thunder weapons, but only if you have a stomach strong enough for the revolting Khezu. Khezu is a Flying Wyvern so bring Paintballs. Also, bring Nulberries, or have some thunder-resistant armor, as Khezu will fling thunder around and Thunderblight doubles the chance of an attack stunning you! Khezu starts in area 8.

Completing this quest unlocks the next request, 'No Go on the Popo'. You’ll also unlock a new Arena quest 'Grudge Match: Khezu'.

No Go on the Popo

Objective: Deliver 3 Popo Tongues

Location: Arctic Ridge

Subquest: None

Notes: Complete “The Shadow in the Mountains” and then talk to the Pokke Chief. Eep, another unstable quest. Gammoth might show up to wreck your day and protect his precious Popo underlings, and like Astalos before it, its stats are super beefed. Collect those Popo Tongues as soon as you can and hike it back to base camp before you get gored with one of Gammoth’s tusks! Or crushed, I should say.

Completing this quest will unlock the 5-star village quest 'The Unwavering Colossus'.

For Whom the Egg Yolks

Objective: Deliver 3 Gargwa Eggs

Location: Misty Peaks

Subquest: Deliver 3 Gargwa Guano

Notes: If you’ve completed the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast', the Loc Lac Guide will be chilling in the Yukumo footbath awaiting you for this request. Here is the classic egg delivery quest! If you’re unfamiliar, I strongly recommend you do the training quest “Hunter Training: Transporting”, to get the hang of it. Check out our page 'Quest Types' for a rundown on egg quests. Skills like Pro Transporter will help you greatly.

Generations

Completion of this quest will give you a new ingredient for the Kitchen: Loc Lac Peanut!

Royal Spit Take

Objective: Hunt a Royal Ludroth

Location: Misty Peaks

Subquest: Deliver 1 Wyvern Tear

Notes: This is a Misty Peaks version of the “Current Events” key quest. Talk to the Yukumo Chief for this one. You have to have completed the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast' and completing this quest unlocks the next request, 'A Forest Fracas'.

A Forest Fracas

Objective: Hunt a Bulldrome

Location: Misty Peaks

Subquest: None

Notes: Complete “Royal Spit Take” and then talk to the Yukumo Chief. Bulldrome should be old hat for you by now, he just so happens to be in Misty Peaks instead of Arctic Ridge. The catch, you ask? Oh, this quest does have the teensiest tiniest of catches: Mizutsune will appear as a guest monster! As with Astalos and Gammoth, Mizutsune’s stats are pretty inflated so steer clear.

Monster Hunter Generations Key Quests List

Completion of the quest will unlock the 5-star village quest 'The Entrancing Water Dancer'.

Royal Honey Hunt

Objective: Deliver 5 Royal Honeys

Monster Hunter Generations Hr 3 Key Quests

Location: Misty Peaks

Subquest: Hunt an Arzuros

Notes: The Moga Farmer in Yukumo Village will have this request for you. Royal Honeys can be gathered in area 5 and area 9. Look for the bees that are flitting around everywhere. Arzuros might show up because he loves honey, drop him dead to gather unhindered.

Completion of the quest will give you a Reststool letting you craft Wyvern’s Perch , a Great Sword, or Poison Fungasax , a Hunting Horn!

The Crabbiest Catch

Objective: Capture a Daimyo Hermitaur

Location: Deserted Island

Subquest: Break Daimyo’s claws

Notes: You have to have completed the 2-star village quest 'Arzuros the Azure Beast' plus 'Crustacean Frustration' to unlock this request. Another clone of a previous key quest, the Moga Chief in Yukumo Village will ask you to carry out this duty. Except this time, Daimyo Hermitaur is in Deserted Island instead of the Dunes, and it’s a capture quest!

Completion of this quest gives you a new Kitchen ingredient: Moga Mussels!

The Fungus Among Us

Objective: Deliver 5 Ripened Mushrooms

Location: Deserted Island

Subquest: Deliver 10 Unique Mushrooms

Notes: Talk to the Moga Sweetheart in Yukumo. This reminds me of The Last of Us for some reason…I guess it must just be me seeing things! Anyways, when Altaroth eat at mushroom spots, their bellies turn big and colorful. You just have to wait for those yellow ant critters to crawl over and feast. Don’t attack them or they’ll go after you instead! Then, kill them and pick up the shiny drop for some Ripened Mushrooms! This quest is unstable.

Your reward? If you’d like, the Moga Sweetheart will be your Housekeeper instead of Chamberlyne. But you’d never replace her…right?!

Sunsnug Island Rescue!

Objective: Hunt an Iodrome

Location: Marshlands

Subquest: Slay 12 Ioprey

Notes: The Headwhiskress in Yukumo will have this “catastrophe” awaiting you if you have already completed the 2-star village quest 'Sunsnug Sprout Courier'. Completing the series of –drome monsters you’ve had to face, Iodrome rounds off the set and uses poison attacks! Bring Antidotes.

Completion of this quest will reward you with another housekeeper option: The Headwhiskress herself!

Fishy Favor

Objective: Deliver 3 Brocadefish

Location: Jurassic Frontier

Subquest: None

Notes: Talk to the Cheeko Sands Chief in Bherna for this request. Brocadefish are going to ruin your life unless you prepare accordingly. But luckily for you, this guide author has already had her life ruined by this quest due to poor preparation so you don’t have to! The blue item box gives you two Goldenfish Bait, but you need to bring a third one. Please do so. Combine Snakebee Larvae and Mega Fishing Fly to do so. Then go to area 3 of the Jurassic Frontier—this is where Brocadefish might spawn.

Without Goldenfish Bait, the spawn rate is downright horrible. So use that Goldenfish Bait and you’ll see beautiful slender purple fish appear. Those are the Brocadefish you’re looking for. To be safe, you might want to bring more than 3 Goldenfish Bait.

Monster Hunter Generations Wiki

Completion of this quest will unlock the 4-star village quest 'Hunt-a-thon: Daimyo Hermitaur' and also net you the weapon crafting recipe for the hammer White Kitty Stamp.

Moofah Must-haves

Objective: Deliver 5 pieces of Moofah fur

Location: Jurassic Frontier

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Key Quests

Subquest: None

Notes: The Reliable Villager in Bherna will have this request for you. Moofah Fur can be obtained by using a cutting weapon to attack the Moofahs hanging around Deserted Island. You don’t need to kill them, but if you don’t have self-control, go ahead I guess. Or if you’re mad that Poogie isn’t in Bherna Village and Moofah took his place. Pick up the shiny drops after the Moofah gets flung back and deliver five of them.

You’ll be rewarded with a Stargazer Flower. This will let you make the Edel and Edel S armor for your hunter, and the F Edel and F Edel S armor set for your Palico. Additionally it can let you craft the Ivory Bow for your hunter and the F Edel Rod and F Edel Rod S for your Palico.

Travelers in Trouble

Objective: Slay 10 Ioprey

Location: Marshlands

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Wiki

Subquest: Hunt an Iodrome

Monster Hunter Generations Key Quests 3 3 5

Notes: Talk to the Bherna Gal for this request. This is basically “Sunsnug Island Rescue” reversed because you have to hunt Ioprey but the subquest involves an Iodrome, so just kill both and call it a day.

Completion of the quest rewards you with the Scholarly armor set for your hunter, and the F Quest Book and F Scholarly gear for your Palico.
