How to Unlock Special Investigations

Complete a Level 300 Investigation

To unlock special investigations, Hunters will need to reach Anomaly Research Level 300 and clear a Lv. 300 Anomaly Investigation. Upon beating the investigation, you'll be notified that a special investigation is now available. Only the hunter who posted the investigation will be rewarded the special investigation (only once).

Beware, the monsters in Special Investigations are super aggressive and boasts moves with wider reach!

Hunters with Anomaly Research Lv 221 Can Join

Special Investigations have a join condition of Anomaly Research Level 221. As long as someone is hosting the quest for you, you won't need to grind all the way to Level 300 to participate! It's still best to be prepared as these are still the most challenging quests in the game.

Special Investigation Rewards

Get A Special Badge of Heroes

They may be no special rewards, but completing many Special Investigation quests of different monsters will reward Hunters with a new Badge of Heroes! Wear it loud and proud - you've earned it!

Special Investigation Badge of Heroes
Special Investigation I	Complete 1 Special Investigation.
Special Investigation II	Complete 10 Special Investigations with different target monsters.
Special Investigation III	Complete 30 Special Investigations with different target monsters.
