How to Unlock Investigations

Large Monster Investigations

large monster investigation.png

You can easily accumulate lots of Large Monster Investigations through the following: collecting their tracks, breaking parts, and by either slaying or capturing them.

It should be noted that Large Monsters in Low Rank locales will only be Low Rank Monsters as well, and will therefore produce Low Rank Investigations. The same goes for High Rank monsters.

Elder Dragon Investigations

elder dragon investigation.png

Elder Dragon Investigations are different from Large Monster Investigations in that it is necessary to complete a quest wherein they are a target. After that, you will start getting Investigations from collecting tracks, breaking parts, and slaying them.

Another thing about getting Elder Dragon Investigations is that it can be random. For example, you are following Kirin's footprints. You pick one up and you get an Investigation. Rather than getting a Kirin Investigation, it is possible that you get a Nergigante Investigation instead.

Small Monster Investigations

small monster investigation.png
Small Monsters, unlike Large Monsters, do not have tracks you can pick up. To get investigations for Small Monsters, simply hunt some down until the Investigation added! notification pops up.

Take note that, like Large Monsters, your locale's current rank will also generate Investigations of the same rank.
