Arena Quests Explained

Competition Quests with Specifed Equipment

Arena Quest Explained

Arena Quests are made mainly to test the skills of hunters all around the world. These quests log the fastest clear times from all players, and those with the best records are shown in the leaderboards.

Those who are willing to take on these quests will face a monster in the Wounded Hollow, but will only be able to use pre-determined equipment and only team up with another player instead of the usual three.

Bring Support Hunters

Support Hunters in Quests

Support Hunters can also be called in during these quests, if any player does not want to hunt with another live player.

All quest times with Support Hunters are also recorded in the leaderboards.

How to Bring Support Hunters in Quests

Compete with Players Worldwide on the Expedition Record Leaderboard

Monster Hunter Wilds Expedition Record Leaderboard

Players can compare with others worldwide to try to achieve the fastest times for each Arena Quest. Landing a spot on the world top rankings can even yield special rare Pendants!

Hunt times can be checked from the Expedition Record Leaderboard, which is placed near the entrance of the Grand Hub.

Try to Achieve a Fast Personal Time

Monster Hunter Wilds Arena Quest Time Rankings

Players can achieve ranks like A, B, and C depending on their completion time. It's likely that getting a higher rank will yield better rewards like more Arena Coins and exclusive Pendants.

Requires Slaying Target Monster

Arena Quests will requires slaying the target monster to complete the hunt and set a record time. This means that monsters during the quest cannot be captured in an attempt to set a faster time, as the target needs to be killed.

Capturing vs Killing Monsters

Arena vs Challenge vs Free Challenge Quests

Monster Hunter Wilds Arena Counter

Quest Type Equipment Restrictions? Limited Availability? No. of Players
Arena Quests Yes No 2
Challenge Quests Yes Yes 2
Free Challenge Quests No Yes 4

While Arena, Challenge, and Free Challenge quest types are all found at the Arena Counter in the Grand Hub, they have different requirements for taking them on.

Arena Quests and Challenge Quests only provide a limited selection of pre-determined weapon and armor sets, meaning players will need to play an unfamiliar Weapon Type and a build different than the one they're used to. In addition, only two players can join. On the other hand, Free Challenge Quests do not share these restrictions, and can be joined with a party of four and any equipment like conventional quests.

Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests, unlike Arena Quests, are similar to Event Quests in that they are only available for a limited time.
