MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD – Stepping Into the Arena

Stepping Into the Arena

On the Celestial Pursuit (otherwise known as the Gathering Hub), the person on the left behind the counter is the Arena Receptionist. Speak to her to accept Arena quests. These are challenge quests that play by different rules than a standard hunt. Each arena quest has you pitted against a specific monster or group of monsters, with a specific selection of armor, weapons, and items. You cannot bring your own. It’s a test of a hunter’s understanding of weapons and item utilization. For one-trick hunters, it forces them out of their comfort zone.

• -All arena quests take place in the arena, a specific small area built for these quests.

• -The maximum amount of players that can take on a quest is 2.

• -Players cannot join an arena quest in progress.

• -Your Palico does not join you for arena quests.

• -All arena quests are timed, and with rank designations for certain time thresholds.

• -Certain challenge arena quests have global leaderboards for the fastest completion times.

At first, you only have access to a few arena quests. You’ll unlock more as you progress through the main storyline. Many hunters ignore the arena, but there are weapons and armor that unlock exclusively through arena rewards. It’s a good idea to complete each arena quest at least once to see what it has to offer.
