The Odogaron and Legiana are two particularly annoying foes, but thankfully, nothing says you actually have to fight both at the same time. That’s not to say it won’t end up happening, as the Odogaron is an adventurous beast. You may see it up in AREA 12, where the Legiana likes to prowl, but the two are more likely to meet in AREA 8, which is where the Legiana will flee to after fighting for a bit… or where it’ll randomly fly if you neglect it long enough.

Focus on the Legiana first, and be sure to bring Flash Pods and Dung Pods. The former to help dispatch the Legiana when it’s being a little too… flighty, and the latter to discourage the Odogaron. Of course, you always could just let them fight, as your travels into the Rotten Vale have made it clear that they’re not natural friends. Endeavor to engage the Legiana in AREA 12, where you may find some hostile Gajalaka. While they’ll attack you if you bother them, they’ll mostly focus on the Legiana, especially if you keep the Legiana between yourself and the Gajalaka. If the Legiana gets put to sleep or paralyzed by the Gajalaka, it’ll be that much easier to kill it. Once the Legiana is dispatched, going after the Odogaron should be a relatively trivial matter.

After you’re victorious, return to Astera and talk to the Chief Botanist to get a view of the Ancient Tree in its ever-growing glory… which has now burst its bounds in another, curiously-timed growth spurt. After explaining matters, he’ll reveal your reward - the ability to cultivate three different materials at the same time! Score.

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.
  • Grimalkyne/Gajalaka quests.
  • How to upgrade the Ancient Tree/Harvest Box and how to unlock various fertilizers.
  • How the Elder Melder works, melding different items and decorations.
  • Where to find the Powertalon and Armortalon, and how to upgrade them into the Powercharm and Armorcharm.
  • Detailed information on how to unlock Tempered Monsters, the difference between Threat Level 1, 2 and 3 Tempered Monsters.
  • 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.
