Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate data reference. Toggle navigation Kiranico // MH4U. Hello, person whom I definitely know and have seen before. It's me, your good friend the Soaratorium Gal. This next Quest is a totally legitimate Quest that I happened to forget about until now and which you have to keep a total secret, OK? - Mysterious Girl.

LATEST UPDATE: Just got my Japanese copy of Monster Hunter X so I've started a Monster Hunter X Key Quests Guide! As for previous updates, I posted a guide on how to unlock every guild quest monster from low rank to G-rank via the Everwood. Make sure to check it out if you haven't unlocked all the guild quest monsters yet! Now on to the Key Quest guide.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
A wise person once said, 'Haste makes waste.'
That is, unless you've played the Japanese version of the latest Monster Hunter game to death like I did and now need to blaze through your village/caravan and gathering hall quests to reach the endgame quickly in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Maybe it's your first crack at the latest game in the series but you still want to progress in a jiffy.
Then it becomes 'He who strikes first, wins.' Just ask Charlie 'Tigrex Blood' Sheen.
For newcomers to the game, you don't have to finish every quest to unlock the next rank or batch of missions in Monster Hunter. Instead, you can finish what are called 'key quests' to unlock the next set of missions right away.
If you're in a rush to get to 10-star village/caravan quests or those tougher Gathering Hall missions to be able to craft better gear, here's a list of key quests to speed up your progress.

CARAVAN AND VILLAGE QUESTS
These refer to the campaign mode of the game, which progresses the story. Monsters are not quite as tough as they are in online/multiplayer mode but you have to solo them.
LOW RANK
1-star
Steak Your Ground
Deliver 1 Well-done Steak or Rare Steak
A Winning Combination
Deliver 1 Mega Potion
Subquest: Slay 3 Jaggi
— Pretty basic stuff. Just talk to your caravan leader, the hat maniac to unlock. No, your goofy little hat ain't worth risking my life by jumping onto a Dah'ren Mohran. But, hey, I'll do it anyway.
2-star
Ancestral Steppe Fungus Run
Deliver 5 Unique Mushrooms
Sub: Deliver 1 Choice Mushroom
Den Mothers
Slay 5 Jaggia
Kelbi Cure-All
Deliver 3 Kelbi Horns
Sub: Slay 8 Kelbi
— These quests are unlocked once you finish 'A Winning Combination.'
Chip Off the Old Blockade
Slay 8 Konchu
— Unlocked by finishing any of the quests mentioned above.
The Stinking Seltas
Hunt a Seltas
Sub: Break the Seltas's horn
— Unlocked by finishing 'Chip Off the Old Blockade.' Finishing this mission upgrades your grain/bread and vegetable ingredients at the canteen. For the full scoop, check out my MH4U Canteen Food Ingredients Upgrade Guide. It also unlocks expeditions, which lets you do free hunts in the Everwood. To progress further, you'll need to do two expeditions: Kill Velocidrome and Kill Yian Kut Ku. These unlock:
Urgent Quest: Swing Into Action
Hunt a Kecha Wacha
Sub: Topple monster while mounted
— Finish this 3-star quest and you unlock the 3-star caravan/village quests.
3-star
Boulder-bash
Hunt a Tetsucabra

Before going further, I also noticed one more urgent pop up while I was doing 3-star quests. I believe this appeared after I finished 'Kecha Wacha Wallop,' which is not considered a key quest.
Urgent: Research Basarios
Hunt a Basarios
Sub: Topple monster while mounted
— Makes Basarios show up in the Everwood.
4-star
Pink Stink
Hunt a Congalala
Sub: Wound the Congalala's comb
— Maybe I was just sleep-deprived, but I could've sworn this was called 'Wild Palico Panic' when I first tried it. Anyway, now it says 'Pink Stink' in my mission board so 'Pink Stink' it is.
An Ice Surprise
Hunt a Zamtrios
Sub: Wound the Zamtrios's top fin
— I could've sworn this one was named 'Meownster Hunt Havoc' the first time I did it, too. Seriously, I think I'm losing my mind. Maybe I already did.
Najarala Hunt
Hunt a Najarala
Sub: Wound the Najarala's back
— Take down this snake in the grass and you'll get an emergency Gore Magala expedition if I remember correctly. Repel that sucker and you should unlock:

Sub: Wound the Gravios' chest
— Hello, big guy. Just bring him down, baby
Advanced: Odd Ape Out
Hunt a Congalala
Sub: Break the Congalala's claw
— I was reading a Japanese forum once and some dude didn't even mention him by name and just said 'that filthy ape.' I don't know why but that made me laugh. Yes, I'm easy to please.
Now do two of the following quests:
Zinogre Zone
Hunt a Zinogre

— Man, this guy… A bonafide troll.
Take a Powderstone
Deliver 1 Powderstone
Sub: Hunt an Iodrome
Either of the previous missions will unlock:
In the Pink
Hunt a Pink Rathian
Sub: Wound the Pink Rathian's head
— One of my favorite monsters to hunt. I personally find her more challenging than Azure Rathalos. Whatever you do, stay away from her left cheek… Take her down and you get:
Ladykiller
Hunt a Seltas Queen
Sub: Wound the Seltas Queen's head
— Lets… volt… in! I still remember the first time my cousins saw the docking manuever while playing the Japanese version of the game. 'Wait, did they just combine? That's awesome!' Finishing this also unlocks the Wyceum research center, which will be key later when fighting frenzied and extreme monsters, especially those that make your weapons and bullets bounce.
Nocturnal Commission
Capture a Rathian
— This unlocks a pretty cool cut scene, plus your next urgent.
Urgent: Dance of a Thousand Blades
Hunt a Seregios
Sub: Topple monster while mounted
— Say hello to the flagship monster of Monster Hunter 4G. This, by the way, provides the earliest opportunity to craft those Seregios weapons, which was quite helpful when I started doing Guild Hall quests.

— This a siege-style battle in Dundorma with your NPC allies. Finish it and you level up your Wystone and unlock 10-star quests, which are the final batch of hunts for offline mode. Enjoy!
GATHERING HALL QUESTS
Say hello to the multiplayer part of MH4U. Yes, you can still solo missions if you want but keep in mind that the monsters will be tougher. For the bulk of these, I basically formed a two-man party with my cousin, which provides just the right balance difficulty-wise. Plus we only had to do the urgents twice as opposed to three or four times with a bigger team. Then again, feel free to do whatever works for you.

For such quests, I will name the monsters you need to hunt as part of G-rank key quests. I'm adding subquests, too, in case there are non-key quests that feature the same monster.

LATEST UPDATE: Monster Hunter XX is coming to the west, y’all! That’s right, Nintendo Switch owners outside of Japan can finally play a localized version of the game as the renamed Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate gets an Aug. 28, 2018 release date. I already have the English version so I've started adding the localized Quest names as I verify them. I'll start with the Village missions because those can be soloed easily then go over the Guild missions after that. I mean, I’m sure some of you have noticed that I just sorta-kinda made up the English translations for the mission names. Perhaps I should just leave them for posterity, hmm? I will also add the new translations for the monster names as well. Anyway, it should provide a nice change of pace from Monster Hunter World!
UPDATE 8: Wanna hear a story? Actually, make that stories. For folks interested in Monster Hunter’s JRPG spinoff, I’ve put together a handy-dandy and most egg-cellent Monster Hunter Stories Guide. Yes, I’ve still got a terrible pun habit.
UPDATE 7: Hi y’all. In preparation for Monster Hunter XX for the Nintendo Switch, I’ve updated some key parts of this guide. All Village and Guild Quest mission information is now up to date for folks who have yet to clear everything or reach Free Rank by breaking the rank cap. On a related note, I also updated the Monster Hunter MHX to MHXX Save Transfer Guide to include instructions not just for the 3DS but for the Switch as well. All I can say is, there’s an app for that. Anywho, I hope this tides everyone until Monster Hunter World comes out!
UPDATE 6: Key Quest information is steadily posting in Japan, y’all! I’m starting to update this guide as I speak, starting with the Guild Hall G Rank quests as I assume that’s what most folks are interested in. Per usual, I’ll start verifying these after I get the game but feel free to chime in or e-mail me if you notice anything. Also, don’t, uh, take the English translations for some of the quests too seriously.
UPDATE 5: Monster Hunter XX is almost upon us (yay!). Unfortunately, I got sent two copies of MHX instead due to an order mix up (boo!). Now I’ve got my fingers crossed that my return does not get lost in the mail or I’m out $100-plus. In the meantime, I’m seriously considering just downloading the digital version. Regardless, I’ll make sure to update the key quest guide as soon as I get some information.
UPDATE 4: So anyone itching to be 'Double Crossed?' Check out our first article on the followup up to Monster Hunter X and Generations, 'Transferring Monster Hunter X save data to MHXX.'
UPDATE 3: Hello, Barrage Earrings fans. To help you out, I have now included a section on how to get all 10 Arena Quests that you have to clear (Rank A) to get them.
UPDATE 2: All Village and Hunter Hub Guild Quests are updated! I will also continue to update the Village Requests as I get them.
UPDATE 1: Howdy, folks. Got my review copy of Monster Hunter Generations and I am now updating this guide with the localized English from the Western release! I have finished the Village campaign but might take a bit of time to go through the latter half of the Gathering Hall or, as they're called now, Hunters Hub quests as I've pretty much been soloing the game prior to release. In the meantime, this guide has initially been verified with the Japanese version so you can simply check the requirements and they will still work for Monster Hunter Generations. I am also leaving the Japanese quest names for folks who want to continue using this guide for Monster Hunter X. Any thoughts, comments or contributions? Feel free to share them in the comments section.
The guide
Hello, fellow hunters. Or Nyunters. Or is Nyanters? I’m so confused.
So after feverishly refreshing the U.S. Postal Services product tracking page, one of the two Monster Hunter X games I ordered from Japan finally arrived. Not sure why the other one hasn’t been scanned since leaving Los Angeles a week earlier. Hopefully, my local post office doesn’t have any Melynxes...
In the meantime, I’ve been scouring Japanese “kouryaku” sites for Monster Hunter X info in preparation for my long trek through the various Village and Guild quests. I figure I might as well share all this information I gathered with you, my fellow hunters in arms. Or paws.
Here’s a list of key quests in Monster Hunter X for folks who prize mission efficiency, complete with the Japanese quest names and my poor attempts at translating some of them into English (notice that some of them are based on quests from older games!). I’ll make sure to verify the list and add more information as I go through the game but feel free to drop a note at the comments section if you notice anything wrong or just want to pump up my ego. After all, flattery will get you everywhere with me. This list also will be updated with English info following the release of Monster Hunter Generations in the West!

— Took me a while to figure this out in the Japanese version but my early toiling is now your gain. This basically requires you to do quests from the Pokke Village chief to unlock. At some point early in the game when you talk to this village chief, you will unlock the 2-star mission “Slay the Giaprey!” (ギアノス１０頭の討伐). Finish that and you will then be able to talk to the chief again to unlock another 2-star quest, “The Mountain Rough Rider!” (雪山の荒くれ者), which requires you to hunt a Bulldrome. Wrap up that mission and talk to the Pokke chief again and you will get the 3-star mission “The Shadow in the Mountains” (雪山に潜む影) to hunt a Khezu. Finish that and talk to the chief again and you will get access to the 3-star quest “No Go on the Popo” (忍び寄る気配), which requires you to gather 3 Popo Tongues. Talk to the Pokke Village chief one more time and you should unlock the Gammoth (Gamuuto) mission. This mission grants access to shards at the Pokke Village cave with the giant sword.
The Thunderclaw Wyvern | 玉の閃電
Main: Hunt an Astalos (ライゼクス/Raizex) 5100z
Sub: Break the comb of the Astalos, 900z
— This one requires you to talk to the Kokotto Village chief. Notice a pattern here? Just like Pokke, you’ll eventually have an opportunity to talk to the Kokotto chief to unlock the 2-star mission “Slay the Velociprey!” (ランポスたちを狩猟せよ！), which requires you to hunt 10 of the beasts.
