LATEST UPDATE: Monster Hunter XX is coming to the west, y’all! That’s right, Nintendo Switch owners outside of Japan can finally play a localized version of the game as the renamed Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate gets an Aug. 28, 2018 release date. I already have the English version so I've started adding the localized Quest names as I verify them. I'll start with the Village missions because those can be soloed easily then go over the Guild missions after that. I mean, I’m sure some of you have noticed that I just sorta-kinda made up the English translations for the mission names. Perhaps I should just leave them for posterity, hmm? I will also add the new translations for the monster names as well. Anyway, it should provide a nice change of pace from Monster Hunter World!

UPDATE 8: Wanna hear a story? Actually, make that stories. For folks interested in Monster Hunter’s JRPG spinoff, I’ve put together a handy-dandy and most egg-cellent Monster Hunter Stories Guide. Yes, I’ve still got a terrible pun habit.
UPDATE 7: Hi y’all. In preparation for Monster Hunter XX for the Nintendo Switch, I’ve updated some key parts of this guide. All Village and Guild Quest mission information is now up to date for folks who have yet to clear everything or reach Free Rank by breaking the rank cap. On a related note, I also updated the Monster Hunter MHX to MHXX Save Transfer Guide to include instructions not just for the 3DS but for the Switch as well. All I can say is, there’s an app for that. Anywho, I hope this tides everyone until Monster Hunter World comes out!
UPDATE 6: Key Quest information is steadily posting in Japan, y’all! I’m starting to update this guide as I speak, starting with the Guild Hall G Rank quests as I assume that’s what most folks are interested in. Per usual, I’ll start verifying these after I get the game but feel free to chime in or e-mail me if you notice anything. Also, don’t, uh, take the English translations for some of the quests too seriously.
UPDATE 5: Monster Hunter XX is almost upon us (yay!). Unfortunately, I got sent two copies of MHX instead due to an order mix up (boo!). Now I’ve got my fingers crossed that my return does not get lost in the mail or I’m out $100-plus. In the meantime, I’m seriously considering just downloading the digital version. Regardless, I’ll make sure to update the key quest guide as soon as I get some information.
UPDATE 4: So anyone itching to be 'Double Crossed?' Check out our first article on the followup up to Monster Hunter X and Generations, 'Transferring Monster Hunter X save data to MHXX.'
UPDATE 3: Hello, Barrage Earrings fans. To help you out, I have now included a section on how to get all 10 Arena Quests that you have to clear (Rank A) to get them.
UPDATE 2: All Village and Hunter Hub Guild Quests are updated! I will also continue to update the Village Requests as I get them.
UPDATE 1: Howdy, folks. Got my review copy of Monster Hunter Generations and I am now updating this guide with the localized English from the Western release! I have finished the Village campaign but might take a bit of time to go through the latter half of the Gathering Hall or, as they're called now, Hunters Hub quests as I've pretty much been soloing the game prior to release. In the meantime, this guide has initially been verified with the Japanese version so you can simply check the requirements and they will still work for Monster Hunter Generations. I am also leaving the Japanese quest names for folks who want to continue using this guide for Monster Hunter X. Any thoughts, comments or contributions? Feel free to share them in the comments section.
The guide
Hello, fellow hunters. Or Nyunters. Or is Nyanters? I’m so confused.
So after feverishly refreshing the U.S. Postal Services product tracking page, one of the two Monster Hunter X games I ordered from Japan finally arrived. Not sure why the other one hasn’t been scanned since leaving Los Angeles a week earlier. Hopefully, my local post office doesn’t have any Melynxes...
In the meantime, I’ve been scouring Japanese “kouryaku” sites for Monster Hunter X info in preparation for my long trek through the various Village and Guild quests. I figure I might as well share all this information I gathered with you, my fellow hunters in arms. Or paws.
Here’s a list of key quests in Monster Hunter X for folks who prize mission efficiency, complete with the Japanese quest names and my poor attempts at translating some of them into English (notice that some of them are based on quests from older games!). I’ll make sure to verify the list and add more information as I go through the game but feel free to drop a note at the comments section if you notice anything wrong or just want to pump up my ego. After all, flattery will get you everywhere with me. This list also will be updated with English info following the release of Monster Hunter Generations in the West!

— Took me a while to figure this out in the Japanese version but my early toiling is now your gain. This basically requires you to do quests from the Pokke Village chief to unlock. At some point early in the game when you talk to this village chief, you will unlock the 2-star mission “Slay the Giaprey!” (ギアノス10頭の討伐). Finish that and you will then be able to talk to the chief again to unlock another 2-star quest, “The Mountain Rough Rider!” (雪山の荒くれ者), which requires you to hunt a Bulldrome. Wrap up that mission and talk to the Pokke chief again and you will get the 3-star mission “The Shadow in the Mountains” (雪山に潜む影) to hunt a Khezu. Finish that and talk to the chief again and you will get access to the 3-star quest “No Go on the Popo” (忍び寄る気配), which requires you to gather 3 Popo Tongues. Talk to the Pokke Village chief one more time and you should unlock the Gammoth (Gamuuto) mission. This mission grants access to shards at the Pokke Village cave with the giant sword.
The Thunderclaw Wyvern | 玉の閃電
Main: Hunt an Astalos (ライゼクス/Raizex) 5100z
Sub: Break the comb of the Astalos, 900z
— This one requires you to talk to the Kokotto Village chief. Notice a pattern here? Just like Pokke, you’ll eventually have an opportunity to talk to the Kokotto chief to unlock the 2-star mission “Slay the Velociprey!” (ランポスたちを狩猟せよ!), which requires you to hunt 10 of the beasts. Finish it and talk to the chief again to unlock the 2-star “Slay the Velocidrome” (ドスランポスを討伐せよ!) quest. After that, chat up the village again until you get the 3-star “Defeat the Yian Kut Ku” (大怪鳥イャンクックを倒せ) mission and finish that. This will then unlock the 3-star quest “The Wyvern’s Nest” (潜入!飛竜の巣), which will lead to the Astalos (Raizex) once finished.
The Entrancing Water Dancer | 淡紅の泡狐がたゆたうか
Main: Hunt a Mizutsune (タマミツネ/Tamamitsune) 5100z
Sub: Wound Mizutsune’s head, 900z
— This time, you’ll need to talk to the Yukumo Village chief to unlock the 2-star mission “Bye Bye Jaggia” (渓流のジャギィノス退治). After that, talk to the chief to get the 2-star quest “Arzuros the Azure Beast” (青熊獣アオジラ). Report to the chief to unlock the 3-star “Royal Spit Take” (ロアルドロスを狩猟せよ!) mission. This will unlock the 3-star quest “A Forest Fracas” (ざわめく森) where you hunt a Bulldrome after talking to the Yukumo Village chief, which then leads to the Mizutsune (Tamamitsune) mission.
