  2. Create and Start the Quest
  3. Rest to Reset

Check Map for Great Hunt Investigations

To start, open the map to see all the available monsters. If none are present in the current locale, travel to another area and check again.

Create and Start the Great Hunt Investigation Quest

If you find an available target, create a quest from it. You can do this on the same screen by selecting the monster and choosing Create Quest.

After that, you can invite hunters to join you if you want to do the quest in multiplayer!

Recommended Investigations

Great Hunt Investigations Monster Rewards
checkmark If farming for Rarity 8 Artian Weapon parts, create a Great Hunt Investigation quest with a Tempered Monster.

checkmark If farming for Decorations, create a Great Hunt Investigation quest without a Tempered Monster.

checkmark If farming for Hunter Symbol 3, look for a Tempered Arkveld, Gore Magala, Rey Dau, Uth Duna, or Nu Udra spawn.

Rewards from Great Hunt Investigation quests vary depending on the monsters involved. If you're farming for specific items, take note of the monsters listed above and reroll accordingly.

Rest to Reset

Change the Weather by Resting

If there are no available Great Hunt Investigation quests, fast travel to the base camp and rest. This is the only way to reset spawns, as the game automatically saves when you rest and change the time, preventing rerolls by returning to the main screen without saving.

How to Fast Travel

Change Weather to Spawn Boss Monsters

Nu UdraNu Udra Firespring Monster Hunter Wilds - Oilwell Basin Icon Oilwell Basin

Some boss monsters only appear in certain weather conditions. If you want to hunt these specific monsters, make sure to change the weather before fully resting.

Weather System Explained

Farm Guild Points

Keep in mind that changing the weather costs 500 Guild Points per change, so make sure you have enough if you plan to keep resetting.

If you're running low, you can farm in the Scarlet Forest, specifically in Area 8 Underground Lake. Catch all the Platinumfish and Goldenfish you find inside to rack up some Guild Points.

Pop-Up Camp Scarlet Forest
Set up a pop-up camp in Area 8 of Scarlet Forest in case you run out of Guild Points from resetting. This area is great for farming both Guild Points and Zenny, as it spawns endemic life that rewards you handsomely.

Start Material Gathering Missions (Optional)

Aida
Optional, but you can also start side missions that require gathering materials. This lets you take advantage of the mission being active if it requires specific materials, allowing you to farm and complete missions simultaneously.

Spawns Multiple Rare Monsters in One Quest

Great Hunts.png
Great Hunt Investigations are quests you can create to fight two rare monsters in one go. These monsters are usually Tempered, providing rare rewards such as Artian Materials, like Broken Blade, Rusted Device, Cracked Disc, or Crushed Tube.

Other rewards include Decorations, Hunter Symbol, and rare materials.
Tempered Monsters Guide

Look for Investigations with Tempered Arkveld and Another Monster

Arkveld
Tempered Arkveld is one of the most sought-after monsters in Great Hunt Investigations. It is recommended to look for one alongside another monster when rerolling to get powerful materials for forging weapons and armor.

These are highly recommended in High Rank builds since they require rarer equipment.
