Monster Hunter Tri Quest Walkthrough

Prologue - Before the Quests

After some character creation and a cutscene, you'll appear in the Moga Village at the start of a conversation with the chief. He explains that a Lagiacrus is terrorizing the village. You'll receive 1500z and instructions to find the chief's son, Junior.

From where you first meet with the chief, head toward the lower right and up some planking to meet with the Carefree Lad and receive a Whetstone item. Talk to him again and he'll reveal that the chief's son went east, into the woods. You should follow, but only after you've purchased protective gear from the nearby armory. You can't afford a lot just yet, but some good armor and a decent weapon are a good idea. You can come back for more equipment shortly.

(Above Left) Buy some equipment before you leave Moga Village. (Above Right) Battle the Aptonoth monsters to pick up some Raw Meat for Junior, whom you'll meet soon after.

Once you're properly equipped, head outside the village along the path leading east to the Moga Woods. When you first arrive in the new location, your goal is to find the chief's son, Junior. An icon of the chief will appear on-screen to remind you of the fact and will direct you to the camp, located on the east side of the area. You can track your movement (indicated by the red arrow) to reach the hut on the map, which represents the base camp. Head there now while the chief briefs you on play control.

As you proceed, you'll come across a field of Aptonoth monsters. They're herbivores. You'll fight them to learn about gathering materials. Specifically, you need to collect some Raw Meat from the first of the Aptonoth critters that you slay. You can and should carve multiple times. Then continue east along the map to find Junior. Talk to him twice, once for information and a second time to hand over a Raw Meat. You'll be instructed to return to the village now, which you should do.

Once you arrive back in the village, meet with Junior just left from the entrance. He'll give you the BBQ Spit and your first proper quest. He also tells you to meet with his father, which you should do for the 1000z. Now it's time to purchase any gear that pleases you, then you're free to tend to that first quest that Junior gave you!

Fix Up the Camp!

In Moga Woods, head to Area 6 to find and defeat some carnivores. Take the items that you carve from them back with you when you return to Moga Village. You should have 30p or more worth of resources, enough to receive your reward.

As you tend to that first quest, which involves walking around the Moga Woods area in search of resources, you'll be walked through some general game options. You can barbecue meat on the spit that Junior gave you to increase your stamina bar, for instance. You'll also notice that the map of the area has expanded. You need to head to Area 6 to find some carnivores to defeat, but along the way make sure to find some healing items. If you start by heading toward Area 7 on the map, which is off toward the left, you can find the Blue Mushroom and some Honey by heading to the right along a stream bed. Then backtrack left and continue toward Area 7 on the map.
