Monster Hunter Wilds

How to Unlock Proof of a Hero

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide for Proof of a Hero, a High Rank Optional Quest appearing in Monster Hunter Wilds. Learn about Proof of a Hero's unlock conditions and target Monsters here.

How to Unlock Proof of a Hero

Complete Freedom From Solitude and 3 Special Environment Quests

Proof of a Hero Quest

Unlocking Proof of a Hero requires the completion of the 10-star quest called Freedom from Solitude. This is a permanent event quest that features Arch-Tempered Arkveld as the target monster to hunt.

Complete 9-Star Triple Hunt Quests

Another requirement for unlocking Proof of a Hero involves the completion of three 9-star Special Environment Quests (triple hunt Optional Quests), all available at HR 100, namely:

  1. Tango of Lives Ablaze
  2. Serenade of Scarlet Water
  3. The Wind 'n' Sand Blues Quest

Once all conditions have been met, which is beating AT Arkveld and completing the listed Special Environment Quests, make sure to speak to Alma (your Handler) to get Proof of a Hero to appear on the Optional Quest list.

Multiplayer Joins Must Meet Requirements

Hunters must meet also the completion of defeating AT Arkveld and the mentioned triple hunts to join Proof of a Hero hunts online.

Note that joining the quest midway (through online/SOS) can prevent you from getting the Nameplate (you will get an in-game notification about it) like the rest of the Special Environment Quests. It is best to join the lobby before the start of the hunt to ensure securing the Nameplate if you haven't obtained it.

HR 100 and Above

The Optional Quest Proof of a Hero can only accessed by hunters that are HR 100 and above. This is the rank also where the monster Gogmazios, along with its related extra mission Ghosts Pay No Heed To Tomorrow, becomes accessible.

・Monsters appear in the arena in the order above. A monster will appear once the one present is close to being slain.
・Monsters can damage each other. Use the appearance of the next monster to your advantage to finish off the previous one.
All monsters must be slain. You can still use traps to immobilize them.

This quest will task you to slay 4 Arch-Tempered Monsters in the Wounded Hollow. We recommend maximizing the dual weapons feature in Wilds to cover each monster's weaknesses.

It is best that you use Gogma Artian Weapons to maximize your raw, affinity, and elemental damage for each monster, and to ensure you can complete the quest under 50 minutes. The following elements are recommended for each monster.

  • Ice - AT Rey Dau
  • Thunder - AT Uth Duna
  • Water - AT Nu Udra
  • Dragon - AT Arkveld

Alternatively, Paralysis is also a good element to use if you are opting on inflicting Abnormal Status.

Does this quest unlock anything special you can show off like a pendant or title?
