Limited Elder Dragon Bounty Not Working

[sandpitturtle3333]

As title suggest, this bounty counter does not seem to be moving at all no matter how hard I'm trying in these final hours.

I've fought Kirin, which game blatantly tells you is an Elder.
Also the random optional Zorah quest, twice.

Counter still sits at 0.

Am I being locked out of this weeks limited bounty because of something stupid?

You are fighting the HR Kirin, right? I think only HR elders count.

[Goilveig]

I believe it only counts Nergi, Vaal, Teostra, and Kushala.

High rank kirin counts. I killed it 3 times to finish my bounty.

Low rank Kirin.

Not reached those yet.

So I'm guessing that despite clearly being Elder dragons, especially Zorah which you know is the first major big bad. Game doesn't count them? Great.

Guess they have to be High rank. It's pretty dumb, but it's also probably to balance it out so that people don't just run to farm low rank kirin and have it easy. It's still dumb either way.

"Slay 5 specified high rank monsters."

the limited quest specifies that they have to be high rank, so low rank Kirin will ofc not work.

You don't actually slay Zorah though, only irritate him so he goes somewhere else.

Zorah is your first high rank. But as Goilveig just mentioned. We don't actually slay him...

Eurgh, this is such a let down.
How much further ahead is the first slayable High Rank Elder if I'm scouting the tracks of this bogus Rathian? (Bezelguise I've sighted already, other tracks still exist).

Do you know if missing out on the gold egg and print is a big deal or not as well please?

Unfortunately the next elder quest is just Nergigante itself or high rank KIrin. You would need to reach the Elder's Recess area first which needs you to kill that Rathian.

No its not a big deal... u need 3 prints for a gem and the egg is just gold.

You need to so the story to unlock the elders... after nerg you can track them

[Umbreon™]

Also eggs are just trade-in items, while prints are used with the Elder melder. The most you could save with a gold print is from having to farm a gem item like Rathalos ruby.

You only need 1 print per gem.

Gotcha, I was pretty much kicking myself for not doing this sooner because I was concerned that I'd be missing something valuable. Glad to know otherwise.

Well dudes and dudettes, thank you for the speedy response and info shared. Happy hunting!
