Monster Hunter Wilds’ main quest is all about introducing you to new locations and new monsters, all of which will form the ecosystem that you’ll eventually be able to spend dozens and dozens of hours in. Wilds is broken up into different chapters, each with several quests, assignments, and hunts inside.
In this Monster Hunter Wilds guide, we’ll give you a general breakdown of each of the game’s main quests and chapters, including their associated hunts and assignment names.
[Ed. note: This post contains spoilers for Monster Hunter Wilds.]
Each main chapter quest in Chapter 1 and beyond is broken up into one or more hunts, tutorials, or side quest-like activities (like taking out non-monster creatures). Below, we’ve listed out every major quest in Chapter 1, and listed its corresponding quest assignment in brackets:
There are various story quests in Chapter 2, which we’ve detailed alongside their associated assignments below:
Chapter 3 gives you the climax of the game’s Low Rank story, and teases the start of where High Rank will eventually take you. We’ve broken down all of the Chapter 3 story quests and their associated assignments below:
Chapter 4 will introduce you to High Rank monsters. The hunts here consist of harder versions of monsters you’ve already faced, as well as entirely new monsters that are exclusive to the higher ranks. Your hunter rank will also become uncapped here (meaning you’ll increase it via experience gained when killing monsters, rather than passively through the story), and each new quest is locked behind a higher hunter rank threshold.
We’ve broken down all of the Chapter 4 story quests, their initial associated assignments, and their hunter rank requirements below:
Chapter 5 takes you from the more straightforward High Rank monsters and into the six-star and above difficulty creatures. Here you’ll fight Jin Dahaad — the massive ice dragon with a one-shot attack — again and will need to learn more tactics to keep you safe during your hunts.
We’ve broken down the Chapter 5 story quests, their initial associated assignments, and their hunter rank requirements below:
We’re still making our way through the post-game and will add more to the Chapter 5 portion of this walkthrough once we complete it.
