Monster Hunter World
Monster Hunter World is an action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom.
In the game, the player takes the role of a Hunter, tasked to hunt down and either kill or trap monsters that roam in one of several environmental spaces.
The game's core loop has the player crafting appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters, which in turn provide parts that lead to more powerful gear. Players may hunt alone, or can hunt in cooperative groups of up to four players via the game's online services.

How to invite & play with friends?
► Online Session
-
Be in an Online Session
-
Share Session ID with friends so that they can join you.
-
To get the Session ID, Esc > Communication > Copy Session ID.
► Assigned Quests
Assigned Quests are the story quests with all the cutscenes. For these quests, you cannot group with others BEFORE the cutscenes.
This means that you have to:
-
Go to the board/handler,
-
post the assigned quest and
-
depart on your own first.
When you find the monster, there will be a cutscene to introduce the monster. Then the game says that "You can now use the SOS flare."
To use the SOS Flare, make sure you're at a safe spot first. Then press Esc / Quest/ Fire SOS Flare.
Other players can go to the quest board, join a quest and Respond to SOS, regardless of whether there is a password for your Online Session or whether they are in your Online Session at all.
► Other Quests
-
Simply make sure your friends are in your Online Session.
-
Then post a new quest on the board for them to join.

How to Capture a Monster
-
Get a "Capture" Investigation quest.
-
Check Supply Box for Shock Traps and Tranq Bombs.
You can also craft Shock Traps & Tranq Bombs & keep them in your Item Box in case you need them on the field.
- Shock Trap = 2 Thunderbug + 1 Trap Tool (from Provision Stockpile)
- Tranq Bomb = 2 Parashroom + 1 Sleep Herb (from Gathering)
For PC Gamers, you can change Radial Menu Type to "Keyboard". Then Customize Radial Menu so that you can just press F3 & 1 to put down a Shock Trap and F3 & 2 to use a Tranq Bomb. -
Search for the monster!
Track its footprints & skidmarks.
4. Beat the monster till it is weak and limping.
To tell when it is weak, look at the monster icon on the bottom left. If the heartbeat is almost flatlined, it is weak.
Sometimes the monster icon on the map has a skull on top of it.
Take this time to use the whetstone on your weapon and heal up. The monster has run off to its resting place to recuperate.
5. Shock Trap & Tranq Bombs
Go up to the monster and place the Shock Trap down. Then quickly use 2 Tranq Bombs near it.
Grimakynes & How to Recruit Other Creatures
► To begin...
-
Collect Doodles on trees & rocks as you explore the Ancient Forest. Keep doing it until the discovery bar is full.
-
Enter Ancient Forest in Expedition mode.
-
Open your map & Look for the Grimalkynes icon. Press 'C' to track them. For Ancient Forest, they are in the northeast area, high up in the trees in area 17.
-
Follow the scoutflies! You will soon see a Grimalkyne running away. Chase it!
Following the trail will take you to a new campsite. Shortly after that you will discover the Bugtrapper Grimalkynes Tribe!
► Benefits
Upon finding the region's Grimalkynes and/or completing their associated quests, you will then unlock the following benefits for your Palico:
-
A new Palico Gadget
-
The ability to recruit small creatures to help in battle
If you approach the Grimalkynes, your Palico will converse and recruit one for the remainder of the session, giving you a second Palico, assisting in battle and able to collect additional items.
► Please note:
-
Later regions don't require you to find Doodles first, but are simply encountered in set areas.
-
Each 'quest' has a different requirement - some are hunts, others are capturing or handing over items.
-
Though not confirmed, it appears that you may have to do these Grimalkyne quests in order (so Ancient Forest, then Wildspire Waste, then Coral Highlands, and finally Rotten Vale).
-
Even with the above in mind, it might be the case that Grimalkynes might not spawn at all. Try an expedition later to see if you have any luck.
