LATEST UPDATE: Just got my Japanese copy of Monster Hunter X so I've started a Monster Hunter X Key Quests Guide! As for previous updates, I posted a guide on how to unlock every guild quest monster from low rank to G-rank via the Everwood. Make sure to check it out if you haven't unlocked all the guild quest monsters yet! Now on to the Key Quest guide.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

A wise person once said, 'Haste makes waste.'

That is, unless you've played the Japanese version of the latest Monster Hunter game to death like I did and now need to blaze through your village/caravan and gathering hall quests to reach the endgame quickly in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Maybe it's your first crack at the latest game in the series but you still want to progress in a jiffy.

Then it becomes 'He who strikes first, wins.' Just ask Charlie 'Tigrex Blood' Sheen.

For newcomers to the game, you don't have to finish every quest to unlock the next rank or batch of missions in Monster Hunter. Instead, you can finish what are called 'key quests' to unlock the next set of missions right away.

Sep 07, 2018  Key Quests were separated into their own specific group upon quest selection, making progression through the game almost trivial. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, on the other hand, fits squarely in line with previous Monster Hunters.

If you're in a rush to get to 10-star village/caravan quests or those tougher Gathering Hall missions to be able to craft better gear, here's a list of key quests to speed up your progress.

CARAVAN AND VILLAGE QUESTS

These refer to the campaign mode of the game, which progresses the story. Monsters are not quite as tough as they are in online/multiplayer mode but you have to solo them.

LOW RANK

1-star

Steak Your Ground

Deliver 1 Well-done Steak or Rare Steak

A Winning Combination

Deliver 1 Mega Potion

Subquest: Slay 3 Jaggi

— Pretty basic stuff. Just talk to your caravan leader, the hat maniac to unlock. No, your goofy little hat ain't worth risking my life by jumping onto a Dah'ren Mohran. But, hey, I'll do it anyway.

2-star

Ancestral Steppe Fungus Run

Deliver 5 Unique Mushrooms

Sub: Deliver 1 Choice Mushroom

Den Mothers

Slay 5 Jaggia

Kelbi Cure-All

Deliver 3 Kelbi Horns

Sub: Slay 8 Kelbi

— These quests are unlocked once you finish 'A Winning Combination.'

Chip Off the Old Blockade

Slay 8 Konchu

— Unlocked by finishing any of the quests mentioned above.

The Stinking Seltas

Hunt a Seltas

Sub: Break the Seltas's horn

— Unlocked by finishing 'Chip Off the Old Blockade.' Finishing this mission upgrades your grain/bread and vegetable ingredients at the canteen. For the full scoop, check out my MH4U Canteen Food Ingredients Upgrade Guide. It also unlocks expeditions, which lets you do free hunts in the Everwood. To progress further, you'll need to do two expeditions: Kill Velocidrome and Kill Yian Kut Ku. These unlock:

Urgent Quest: Swing Into Action

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Wiki

Hunt a Kecha Wacha

Sub: Topple monster while mounted

— Finish this 3-star quest and you unlock the 3-star caravan/village quests.

3-star

Boulder-bash

Hunt a Tetsucabra

Sub: Wound the Tetsucabra's jaw

— Unlocked after finishing 'Swing Into Action.'

Shipshape Skin

Hunt a Gypceros

Sub: Wound the Gypceros's crest

— Unlocked after finishing 'Boulder Bash.'

Road Work

Capture a Gendrome (Village: 3 Star)

Sub: Slay 5 Genpreys

— Unlocked after finishing 'Shipshape Skin.' Finish this to trigger:

Urgent: Nerscylla Thrilla

Hunt a Nerscylla

Sub: Break Nerscylla's poison spikes.

— Finish this to unlock 4-star caravan/village quests.

Before going further, I also noticed one more urgent pop up while I was doing 3-star quests. I believe this appeared after I finished 'Kecha Wacha Wallop,' which is not considered a key quest.

Urgent: Research Basarios

Hunt a Basarios

Sub: Topple monster while mounted

— Makes Basarios show up in the Everwood.

4-star

Pink Stink

Hunt a Congalala

Sub: Wound the Congalala's comb

— Maybe I was just sleep-deprived, but I could've sworn this was called 'Wild Palico Panic' when I first tried it. Anyway, now it says 'Pink Stink' in my mission board so 'Pink Stink' it is.

An Ice Surprise

Hunt a Zamtrios

Sub: Wound the Zamtrios's top fin

— I could've sworn this one was named 'Meownster Hunt Havoc' the first time I did it, too. Seriously, I think I'm losing my mind. Maybe I already did.

Najarala Hunt

Hunt a Najarala

Sub: Wound the Najarala's back

— Take down this snake in the grass and you'll get an emergency Gore Magala expedition if I remember correctly. Repel that sucker and you should unlock:

Urgent: Tipping the Scales

Hunt Gore Magala

Sub: Wound Gore Magala's feelers

— Gore! Gore! Gore! With apologies to JR's Barbecue Sauce. Bring down the flagship monster and say hello to 5-star quests.

5-star

Major Miner Problem

Hunt a Gravios

Sub: Wound the Gravios' chest

— Hello, big guy. Just bring him down, baby

Advanced: Odd Ape Out

Hunt a Congalala

Sub: Break the Congalala's claw

— I was reading a Japanese forum once and some dude didn't even mention him by name and just said 'that filthy ape.' I don't know why but that made me laugh. Yes, I'm easy to please.

Now do two of the following quests:

Zinogre Zone

Hunt a Zinogre

Sub: Wound the Zinogre's head

The Royal Guard

Hunt a Seltas Queen

Sub: Hunt a Seltas

King of the Skies

Hunt a Rathalos

Sub: Sever the Rathalos' tail

This will unlock:

Advanced: Tigrex Terror

Hunt a Tigrex

— Tigrex, he's grrrreat. At unlocking the next quest:

6-star

Urgent: Advanced: Heaven's Wheel

Slay Shagaru Magala

Sub: Break Shagaru Magala's horns

— Finish Gore Magala's true form after shedding its skin and you're on the fast track to high rank questing.

HIGH RANK

7-star

Skiff Scuttler

Hunt a Daimyo Hermitaur

Sub: Break D. Hermitaur's claw

Hot-air Buffoon

Hunt an Emerald Congalala

Sub: Deliver 1 Territorial Dung+

Facility Facilitation

Hunt a Cephadrome

— Charge! Have fun Guard Point masters. Oh yeah, welcome to 8-star quests

8-star

Finish one of the two following missions:

Hide-and-Freak

Hunt a Khezu

Sub: Wound the Khezu's head

— Man, this guy… A bonafide troll.

Take a Powderstone

Deliver 1 Powderstone

Sub: Hunt an Iodrome

Either of the previous missions will unlock:

In the Pink

Hunt a Pink Rathian

Sub: Wound the Pink Rathian's head

— One of my favorite monsters to hunt. I personally find her more challenging than Azure Rathalos. Whatever you do, stay away from her left cheek… Take her down and you get:

Ladykiller

Hunt a Seltas Queen

Sub: Wound the Seltas Queen's head

— Lets… volt… in! I still remember the first time my cousins saw the docking manuever while playing the Japanese version of the game. 'Wait, did they just combine? That's awesome!' Finishing this also unlocks the Wyceum research center, which will be key later when fighting frenzied and extreme monsters, especially those that make your weapons and bullets bounce.

Nocturnal Commission

Capture a Rathian

— This unlocks a pretty cool cut scene, plus your next urgent.

Urgent: Dance of a Thousand Blades

Hunt a Seregios

Sub: Topple monster while mounted

— Say hello to the flagship monster of Monster Hunter 4G. This, by the way, provides the earliest opportunity to craft those Seregios weapons, which was quite helpful when I started doing Guild Hall quests.

9-star

Say hello to key quests galore. Here's the order that I went through them:

Black Rock Down

Hunt a Black Gravios

Sub: Wound Black Gravios's back

These will unlock

Urgent: Death by a Thousand Cuts

Hunt an Apex Seregios

— Whee, apex monsters! Don't forget to use that Wystone.

Urgent: Kushala Kushowdown

Hunt a Rusted Kushala Daora

— This a siege-style battle in Dundorma with your NPC allies. Finish it and you level up your Wystone and unlock 10-star quests, which are the final batch of hunts for offline mode. Enjoy!

GATHERING HALL QUESTS

Say hello to the multiplayer part of MH4U. Yes, you can still solo missions if you want but keep in mind that the monsters will be tougher. For the bulk of these, I basically formed a two-man party with my cousin, which provides just the right balance difficulty-wise. Plus we only had to do the urgents twice as opposed to three or four times with a bigger team. Then again, feel free to do whatever works for you.

While I've sunk in a ton of time in the Japanese version of the game, I haven't gone through all the G-rank quests in the Western version so I don't know the English names of all the stuff yet. For such quests, I will name the monsters you need to hunt as part of G-rank key quests. I'm adding subquests, too, in case there are non-key quests that feature the same monster. I will update this section as I verify information in my U.S. copy:
