Quest Info

Reward Money: 2520z
Time Limit: 50 min.
Conditions: HR 8 or higher
Failure Conditions: Time Expires / Faint 3 Times
Other Monsters: Hornetaur / Girros

This quest is a little more troublesome than the previous one, as it requires you to kill five Raphinos. Raphinos aren’t too terrible on their own, being small, flying monsters, they can be hard to hit depending on their weapon, and they’re sturdy enough to make the Slinger an impractical solution, but the real problem is that the dwell in the bowels of the Rotten Vale, in the same areas where toxic mist pollutes the air. These areas also tend to be crawling with Girros, but they scatter readily enough if you fell one of them.

Start out by heading to AREA 3, go downhill to the west, then continue downhill to the north to reach AREA 6 where you’ll find your first Raphinos. This should also be around where you first spotted the Great Girros. Don’t worry, you’ll get to that monster soon enough. Kill what Raphinos you find, then descend deeper to find whatever specimens you still need to smite. Once five are dead, this quest will be over. Return to Astera afterwards and talk to the Armory clerk to obtain the Cleanser Booster tool, which works much like the Health Booster, saves it cures status ailments and elemental blights instead of restoring health.

This guide features a full, beginning-to-end walkthrough written in an “ideal chronological order of events” format. Main quests are interspersed with side quests in the order in which they unlock, although some side quests and arena challenges may only be referenced instead of fully explained. These are typically quests that have you facing a monster you’ve already fought under similar circumstances that offer no unique reward for completion. For example, after completing most main quests you won’t be able to attempt that quest again, but you’ll usually unlock an identical side quest allowing you to hunt the same monster in the same area with the same success/failure conditions.

Monster strategies will be discussed in detail as you encounter them throughout the walkthrough, featuring elemental and status information and drop lists. The guide also features a fully detailed bestiary for those who just want information about specific monsters unaccompanied by a walkthrough. Trophy/achievement information can also be found in a separate trophy/achievement guide, although be warned: many trophies/achievements in Monster Hunter World are easier said than done.

Other features of this guide include:

  • Information on crafting/harvesting.
  • Side quests that unlock mantles, ingredients and other useful features.
  • Field Researcher quests including where to catch rare fish, how to capture small monsters, and where to locate Grimalkynes/Gajalaka.

  • How the Elder Melder works, melding different items and decorations.

  • Information on Feystones, including drop rates, the differences between the types (Mysterious, Gleaming, Worn and Warped).
  • How to get Warrior’s Streamstones and Hero’s Streamstones.
