Already in Iceborne and can't find vanilla Tempered Monsters quests

[HouseLyrander]

I'm trying to do a Bounty to fight a Tempered Monster but the only ones I can find are the ones for Kirin and double Bazel. I know there are others like Pukei-Pukei, but where are the Quests for those? All I can find are people talking about Investigations

In the Guiding lands once you level up the regions to a certain level, i think they start showing up at around level 4.

I'm looking for High Rank Tempered, not Master. Is that just not a thing outside of Events, Kirin, and double Bazel? If so... Why is this a Bounty then?

Yeah Tempered monstes come a bit later in Iceborne. And only Threat 1 until you have finished the Story and unlocked the Guiding Lands.

Killing stuff in GL increases the Region levels, at 4 you start finding tracks and fighting tempered monsters of higher threat. Doing that unlocks investigations.

As for High Rank, you need a specific Hunter Rank and complete a quest and then they'll unlock at a certain Threat. Kill those a couple of times and a new Quest should unlock that let's you find the higher threat etc.

You mentioned you were in iceborne, i assumed you were talking about Master rank monsters lol.

But yeah, it's pretty much as prpl_mage said, you need a specific HR but tempered Tier 1 should show up right now, there's a event quest to grind those tracks i just can't remember the name.

So what Quest and/or HR do I need to do to unlock them? Because I do NOT care about anything involving Guiding Lands mechanics, I just want to get this Bounty done without having to fight Kirin every time.

Also, it's straining the limits of my belief that vanilla would have Arch Tempered Elder Dragons, but only 2 Tempered monster.

There are tempered monster tracks in expeditions in High Rank, but if you have HR30 you can do the A Simple Task event.

Hopefully that helps you.

For clarity, There are only a few quests that involve tempered monsters. The majority of them are only accessible in investigations, or the guiding lands in iceborne.

Gathering tempered monster tracks will eventually give you tempered monster investigations. The event quest mentioned above should work well, and you could also follow the tempered kirin/bazel to gather their tracks.

So I'm HR 50ish and I've done "A Simple Task". That got me a bunch of Investigations but no Optional or Special Quests. Do I need to do Tempered Investigations to unlock those or is it just Investigations if I wanna fight stuff other than Kirin and Double Bazel?

Well that just waxes my nipples. It also raises several questions about why there's a "Hunt a Tempered" Bounty, but then I remember how Capcom set up the multiplayer and I'm forced to conclude that this was one of the many decisions caused by the gas leak at HQ.

Just do the investigations, they are gonna complete the bounty you want anyways, plus as already mentioned, is the only way to fight them there besides events and the guiding lands.

Nah, its because you've gotten to the point where you can do tempered monsters.
Investigations are the only way of killing tempereds if you dont want to keep killing bazel or kirin; or simply do event quests if they're up

Here you go.

As for your overall question. Tempered monsters was the End Game content of MHW, and since you have reached that point you get that bounty.

To make it a bit trickier the tempered monsters only show up in investigations so there isn't a "best" quest to take to farm. They are randomized, target monster, other monster present, time, faints etc. So variety! Fun! But downside, not a lot of quests to take off the bat.

They also released some Event Quests further down the line after release, most of them being the Elder Dragons and the Arch Tempered Elder Dragons being the END GAME content.

Honestly I'd just skip tempered high rank monsters and focus on iceborne as high rank tempered rewards are not worth the time investment. Replace your bounties with master rank ones cause those are far more lucrative.

Can't be replaced since these are limited, he's gonna have to wait till it times out.

But shouldn't take long for him to complete it anyways.

You're progressing through the story too fast. Your MR is catching up with your HR, and thus you are locked out from doing actual base MHW endgame content the same way you are locked out from doing Iceborne endgame (level 5+ GL).

T2 and T3 investigations are HR locked iirc.

I thought killing MR monsters also counted for HR too? I can't remember now but I'm sure I have completed limited bounties without killing HR monsters.
