Chapter 5 Walkthrough and Guide

Investigate the regions and raise your HR to 31.

To proceed to the next Mission, you need to raise your HR to 31. By increasing your HR, the story will progress and the next Quest will be triggered. Gather materials for Equipment creation, complete Optional Quests, and clear Side Missions to raise your Hunter Rank.

Multiple Side Missions

The side missions shown above will be unlocked right after the start of Chapter 5-1. With several missions unlocked, make sure to complete them in between advancing the story.

Talk to Olivia at the Ruins of Wyveria

Head to the Ruins of Wyveria and talk to Olivia.

Investigate the Regions and Raise Your HR to 32

To move on to the next Mission, you must reach HR 33. Increase your Hunter Rank through Optional Quests and other activities. If you're also gathering Artian parts, it's recommended to defeat Tempered Monsters.

When You Reach the HR Cap

If you have already reached the Hunter Rank cap, the story will progress once you earn a certain amount of Hunter Rank points. As a guideline, completing around 8 Optional Quests should be enough to earn the required points.

Defeat Jin Dahaad

Defeat Gore Magala and Frenzied Blangonga

You will face a battle with both Gore Magala and a Frenzied Blangonga. Exercise caution, as Blangonga is in Frenzied state, which means that while it has a low Health pool, its Attack is increased. Both monsters are weak to fire. Defeating both will clear Chapter 5-2.

Investigate the Regions and Raise Your HR to 40

After defeating GoreMagala, you need to raise your HR to 40, so perform hunts in different regions. If you are crafting Artian weapons, it is best to hunt down Tempered Monsters. Raising your Hunter Rank to 40 will automatically advance the story to Chapter 6.

Hunt Two Hirabami to Save Time

If saving time is your priority, the ★ 4 Optional Quest "Secure Wounded Hollow" is the best one to take on. This quest involves hunting two Hirabami and, being in the arena, requires no camps or field navigation. You can also summon a Support Hunter to make it easier to farm.

Multiple Side Missions

These side missions will be unlocked right after the beginning of Chapter 5-3. Since there's a lot of missions unlocked at this point, it's best to complete them in between advancing the story.
