Monster Hunter Rise Anomaly Investigations Guide

序文

This guide is about the endgame content which has been released with

Title Update 1, in August 2022 と Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak version 11.0.1.0 (PC/Steam).New players beware of eventual spoilers, として endgame content is what you get once you finished the game. Until then the information you find here will not be of much interest.

Why should I do Investigations?

の “holy trinity” の

モンスターハンターgame loop (as long as you put the story aside).

の

Anomaly Investigationsare randomised quests which increase in difficulty by their level. They also give crafting materials as loot which are needed for the new armour augmentations, to give your personal hunting style an even more individual touch, beyond your lucky talisman!

This new endgame content ensures that in addition to upcoming new

Title Updatesクエストと

Event Questsyou will unlikely ever run out of anything to do until the next

モンスターハンターゲーム. Joytime with open end, if you will!

؜؜؜

Randomised quests, special rewards, augmented equipment – no more doing the same quests over and over again as

Anomaly Investigations“進化” over time if you allow them to do so!

As an additional bonus to the fun, did you know that Anomaly Quests offer good chances for

ロック & 負荷

The first thing you want to learn is to lock interesting

Anomaly Investigationsクエスト. That way you will not lose them when the randomiser decides to put them away in favour of new

Anomaly Investigationsあなたは見つけます.

Locked

Anomaly Investigationsquests will remain locked after you completed them. But they will also gain levels which increase the difficulty level and allow the discovery of other new

Anomaly Investigationsquests with a similar level.

トリビア: The phrase should be actually

load and lock.

The nowadays common phrasing is due to John Wayne who has used it reversed in a movie.

うん, it never made sense to me

lock and loadwith a rifle, but it makes sense with a quest.

Special Bounties: Research Requests

This part of

Anomaly Investigationsmight be of interest to you if you are suffering frustrations from the drop rates of certain items and crafting materials. While I do not recommend to use this to go after specific items, it is a nice bonus which you should make use of.

初めに, the pricing seems quite high. But trust me: you get plenty of reward coins soon enough, especially when you fulfill the special bounties on monsters, として知られている

Research Requeststargets.

That is also one of the reasons why it makes sense to look for plenty of different

Anomaly Investigationsクエスト. Fulfilling your stamp collection aka ten

Research Requestswill give you a bonus of 50 コイン. The current

Research Requestcan be seen even at the

Quest Counterseither in

Elgado または

Kamura.

All the more reason to enjoy the randomised endgame content which helps you getting the crafting material you have longed for. Especially when the target monster which drops them… can be difficult to handle and you like more a diverse approach.

Research Requeststargets will reward you additional points which makes leveling up your

Anomaly Research Levelはるかに簡単. A higher level increases the chances for discovering higher level

Anomaly Investigationsクエスト.

It also shows on the Anomaly Investigations quest list if a monster on your list is target of a Research Request.

Getting new Anomaly Investigations

Now let us get to the interesting part.

Players of

モンスターハンター: 世界have an advantage here, as the principles used by the quest generator seems very similar. Once you understand the basics, it becomes like second nature to aim for your favourite

Anomaly Investigations.

Each time you finish an

Anomaly Investigationクエスト, it becomes available again with a higher level. If you keep doing that often enough, you will eventually end up maxing out that very specific quest, with the specific target monster in form of an increased challenge.

That sounds very tedious, does it not? Thankfully there is more to it!

On your

Anomaly Investigationsquests you will come across

Gathering Spotswhich are afflicted by the

Qurio. Gathering items from those spots will grant you additional

Anomaly Research Pointswhich will be rewarded to you by the end of a hunt.

That makes

Spiribirds routes quite worthwhile during

Anomaly Investigationsクエスト, as you will come across many of those

Gathering Spotswith traces of

Qurio. And with every additional research point you increase the chances for new and eventual

もっと面白いクエスト.

In Multiplayer the points you and your fellow hunters are shared 1:1. それは意味します, you do not need to fight for a

Gathering Spot. Whatever you and your fellow hunters collect in additional points will be added to the total points.

しかし, every time you gather at an afflicted

Gathering Spot, gives an extra chance in discovering new

Anomaly Investigations. So the more you gather personally, the more chances for new

Anomaly Investigationsquests you get.

例えば: one player in a three player hunt I was with did gather from a lot of resources, while I gathered very little. They unlocked seven new

Anomaly Investigationswhile I unlocked only three as quest end result. For the best outcome in that regards I recommend to hunt in

シングルプレイヤー and treat the quest like a

semi-expeditionuntil you exhausted all

Qurio Afflicted Gathering Spotsbefore hunting down the target monster.

わかった, I could not come up with a better title for this third point.

At first I was thinking of something like ”

Hunt target monsters like with sub-quests“.

But that can be misleading. Let me explain to you why:

あなたは得ます

Anomaly Research Pointsfor hunting down your target, breaking parts of your target, and doing much more during a quest. これまでのところ, so normal.

The crux is:

Anomaly Investigationsencourage you to exploit target monsters as much as possible. のように: break everything which can be broken with the monster.

Cutting Barioth‘s tail rewarded me with a new Anomaly Investigation ～Hunters who aim for a quick kill are therefore in disadvantage (例えば. cheaters who kill a monster with a single shot will have a hard time progressing with

Anomaly Investigations).

You do not just hunt down a target monster, but you try to learn as much as possible you can from your target. That accumulates to the maximum reward points and will eventually unlock new quests with different monsters on the similar level.

This is what it looked like when I was hunting an afflicted

Barioth and unlocked new

Anomaly Investigationsクエスト. One of them turned out a multitarget hunt. ニース!

This is actually a very fun part of the new endgame. When hunting in

マルチプレイヤー with other hunters, you may join them on the random

Anomaly Investigationsquests they have unlocked. Those can differ entirely from what you have in level and target monsters.

The best thing about this feature is: if you accumulate enough research points during that hunt, which is hosted by another hunter, ある

チャンス that you can “adopt” 彼らの

Anomaly Investigationquest to make it your own.

Left image: the quest I have hosted | Right image: the quest my fellow huntress gotImagine it like exchanging

Research Notesbetween hunters. But doing that with quests which differ in type and level. It is not uncommon for hunters to get together to “貿易” and exchange

Anomaly Investigationsquests that way. Maybe a hunter you know got some juicy research at a high level which is just too cool not to have. Try to gather as many points as possible while joining them for that quest, and the quest might become yours afterwards eventually.

A little like passing on some sort of

Qurio-ウイルスfrom one hunter to another, if you will… ?
