Village Quests in Monster Hunter Rise have been created as a solo hunting experience. There are Key Quests that you can set out on, which will allow you to progress through the story and on to the higher-ranked quests, and other standard quests that Kamura Village’s inhabitants may request your help with.
To peruse and accept them, you will need to head to the Village Quest Counter where you can speak to Hinoa the Quest Maiden. Starting out with the lower-ranked quests, you must complete a specified number before you are faced with overcoming an Urgent Quest to progress on to the next rank.
Below, we have listed every Village Quest that you will be confronted with at each rank, marking those that are Key Quests which you will want to focus on to move upward through the ranks as quickly as possible.
Monster Hunter Rise is now available exclusively for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
