Zorah armor has been around since the very beginning of Iceborne, so you don't need Volcanic region stuff.

You have to do the Rajang-related special assignments to unlock it. But you don't need it for Zorah armor.

Beware also, there is or was a common glitch in which Zorah Magdaros armor didn't show up at the Seliana Smithy even when you get the right materials to make it. It was solvable by doing something in-game like visiting Astera or something. You probably won't get this glitch, but keep it in mind in case Zorah armor doesn't show up for whatever reason.

EDIT: ninja'd. or archer'd.

It's a story/special assignment quest unlock and you have to beat hornless Kirin (Talk to the captain near the commander's post) and he shoul have a purple ! and he gives you the quest line for hornless Kirin. Once beaten, you get the special assignment mission to fight Rajang (Which also introduces the Volcanic region)

The quest names are "Sterling Pride" for the Kirin one and "Reveal Theyself, Destroyer" for Rajang/Volcano.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Trophy Guide & Roadmap

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Trophy Roadmap

Estimated trophy difficulty : 5/10
Approximate amount of time to platinum : 400 Hours+ (longer than World)

Number of missable trophies : 0
Glitched trophies : Nothing Yet
Does difficulty affect trophies? : Yes, must play on the new Master Rank difficulty
Minimum Playthroughs : 1 + Grinding (You have to finish the original Monster Hunter World before staring Iceborne)

Introduction

Welcome to the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Trophy Guide (MHW Iceborne)! Before you start, it’s most important to know you must first beat the story of Monster Hunter World (the main game) before you can access the Iceborne expansion. Also see Monster Hunter World (Main Game) Trophy Guide & Roadmap .

Surprisingly this massive expansion for Monster Hunter World comes with its own trophy list including a shiny platinum! The trophy list is quite similar to the main game.

Iceborne adds a new region to the game (Hoarfrost Reach). This new region is all about cold climate. Another new feature is the Master Rank, which substitutes the G-Rank from older titles. New rank means higher difficulty and new weapons and armor sets. Iceborne delivers a mix of returning fan favorites, brand new monsters and subspecies of both old and new monsters.

Just like in Monster Hunter World you can expect this to be a lengthy platinum. The infamous gold crowns from the main game return once again. You’ll have to hunt for a small and a big version of each monster which requires some luck.

Step 1: Finish Monster Hunter World

This step can obviously be skipped if you did it before but once again: Iceborne is an expansion which starts after the end of MHW. You will not be able to play Iceborne without finishing the main game first.

Step 2: Iceborne Main Story

Start your journey with finishing the main plot of the game. You will have to finish it to remove the level cap on your master rank. With progress in story you will unlock assignments of higher grades. At the beginning you will only be able to play 1-star assignments. Do not even think about grinding for the gold crowns now, since we learned one thing from MHW: only high ranks investigations are worth doing for those gold crowns.

You can progress the story until beating Shara Ishvalda easily, after that it gets a little bit complicated with Guiding Lands and the game not telling you what exactly to do, see the next step.

Step 3: Guiding Lands

Once you reach Guiding Lands the game lets you figure everything out by yourself. The short version is: focus on a single region and level it up to Level 3. Head back to Seliana for a new Assigned Quest to appear. Afterward you’ll have to reach MR49 (Master Rank 49) in order to unlock the next level cap quest against 2 tempered monster (Rathian and Nightshade Paolumu). This will remove the level cap and allow you to level up further. You won’t be able to level up a region to 7 before reaching MR100.

Side Notice: Should you reach a level cap and won’t be able to finish the quest immediately do not worry. The experience you gained won’t get lost even if it doesn’t show up. All the experience you earn will be added to your MR once you finished the cap quest.

For an in-depth overview of everything there is to know about this endgame region, check out the full Guiding Lands Walkthrough .

Step 4: Miscellaneous

Focus on all the trophies which can be done quickly now: Treasures , Lynian Research Requests , capturing rare endemic life, etc. Treasures and Lynrian Research Requests are new to MHW Iceborne, capturing rare endemic life you’ll already know from the main game.

Step 5: Crowns

This is where you will spend most of your time. Everything from MHW should apply here as well: play investigations with good rewards, measure the monsters and hope for good luck. While grinding for the crowns you should obtain materials for armor and weapons as well. Be sure to capture monsters for the trophy (capturing is faster anyway). Also important: all gold crowns from the main game (plus Lunastra / Deviljho from free updates) are also required to pop the Iceborne trophy for all crowns!

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Trophy Guide

For main game trophy guide refer to: Monster Hunter World Trophy Guide & Roadmap

	Conqueror of the Hinterlands Unlock all trophies for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.

	An End and a Beginning Solve the mystery of the Old Everwyrm.
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed. Finish the last story Assignment “Paean of Guidance” (6 stars).
	To the Land of Discoveries Reach the Guiding Lands.
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed. After defeating the story endboss in Assignment “Paean of Guidance”, talk to the Field Team Leader in Seliana to be brought to the Guiding Lands. After finishing the first story quest there, you will earn this trophy (after completing all quest objectives you must press Options-Button > Return from Expedition to finish the quest).
	Evolving Ecology Raise any region to level 7.
This has to be done in the Guiding Lands after the main story. This region is a sort of collection of the other regions: there is a forest part, a desert part, coral part and a rotted part. Each of the regions there has its own progress bar. By killing or capturing monsters or collecting tracks in a region you can level it up. It is recommended, even by the game itself, to focus on one region first since leveling a region can lower the progress for others. The higher the level of a region is, the harder the monsters in it. At later point tempered monsters and elder dragons will start appearing in a region. By defeating a monster a new one will spawn shortly. On your map you see if the monster is from the region you want to level or not. There will be a cap at level 4 when Guiding Lands first unlock, so don’t bother trying to get to level 7 immediately. Finishing the MR49 assigned quest will remove to cap to level 5. Finishing MR69 will remove to cap to level 6 and removing cap to level 7 will require finishing MR99 assignment for defeating Ruiner Nergigante.
	In Search of Rare Materials Gather materials at rare outcrops and bonepiles.
In Guiding Lands you need to gather from one Giant Ore and one Giant Bone Outcrop. When you mine or gather from the mining outcrops and bone piles, you level them up per region, which makes a giant outcrop appear, you gather from there, and it resets. You need to gather one from each giant outcrop, and the trophy pops. Since you will spend a lot of time in the Guiding Lands anyway, it should unlock at some point if you keep looting. (*thanks to PetulantBehemoth for the tip).
	Insatiable Investigator Analyze 50 special tracks.
In Guiding Lands you can unlock special tracks for either species of monsters: flying, bird, brute, fanged wyverns. In your upper right corner you will see a certain amount of tracks leading to a bigger track. Those bars can be unlocked by basically doing anything in Guiding Lands randomly: killing monster, capturing one, gathering stuff, breaking parts, finding turf war tracks, etc. Once a bar with somewhere in the range of 3 to 6 tracks appear you can now level it up. You can gain a track by hunting a monster or breaking a part of it. You will get multiple tracks at once if the monster you performed an action on is one of the types you are collecting the tracks for (example would be breaking a part of Legiana when collecting bird wyvern tracks). Once you have collected all the tracks you will be able to lure out the monster, whose name appeared on the screen after getting the final track, by talking to the handler in a camp. Those can be helpful for leveling up a certain region, since you can call a monster into a region you need one to be when there isn’t one at the moment. Additionally defeating a tempered monster at higher levels will earn you a full track immediately. Getting 50 of those will take a while, so prepare for some grinding.
	Fate’s Conclusion Slay Ruiner Nergigante in the Guiding Lands, removing the cap on maximum master rank.
Ruiner Nergigante you will meet just before the last boss but it isn’t the fight which will trigger the trophy. For this one you will need to reach Master Rank 99 in order to fight him for real. Reaching MR99 gives you a new story assignment on the quest board to challenge the Ruiner Nergigante. Defeating him will remove the level cap for your MR. He fights similar to his normal form with additional spikey attacks which will cause bleeding quickly. He likes to shoot those spikes from his side after a dash so be careful. He is weak to Dragon and Thunder Elements.
	Master Explorer Establish all camps in the Hoarfrost Reach.
»
	Source of Relaxation Spend some time in a natural hot spring.
There are a lot of hot springs in Hoarfrost Reach, simply enter one for the trophy. Below is the map location and a picture of one of them:
	Clutch Claw Neophyte Study the ways of the clutch claw.
Once in Seliana you will receive an optional LOW RANK quest called “Learning the Clutch” which will teach you how to use the clutch claw. You will receive the trophy for completing this tutorial mission.
	Golden Gleam Capture a creature with a golden gleam in the Hoarfrost Reach.
This is simply a golden version of the little monkeys enjoying the hot springs everywhere in the Hoarfrost Reach. I caught mine in the hot spring in area 2. Make sure you’re using the Ghillie Mantle and leave your Palico behind so it doesn’t scare the creature. If it doesn’t spawn, you can also check the other hotsprings, then fast travel to a different map and return to check again. It can take a few hours to get it to spawn. Tip: Iceborne has added a new skill called “ ” that makes rare endemic life more likely to appear. You can get this buff from the cook in Seliana. First you need to gather the cooking ingredients by finishing all of the Seliana cook’s optional quests and her gathering quests and also you must gather all rare research plants in Hoarfrost Reach (Butterbur, Frozen Foilage and Upsurge-exclusive items). You’ll know it’s a rare one when your character does a longer gathering animation than usual. For the Upsurge-exclusives you need to check the map that this effect is currently on Hoarfrost Reach. Once you have the ingredients you can put them in a custom meal at Seliana cook to get a maxed out “Feline Zoomaster” skill. Make sure you pay with a voucher for a guaranteed chance to trigger the skill. Always do this before looking for rare endemics to greatly improve the odds of finding them.
	Friendly Pointer Capture a creature that seems to be pointing at something.
This is a luminescent, blue-glowing little blob on the floor (looks like a jellyfish) that is found eating at the fruit-bearing trees that give research points when harvested. It has an arrow-shaped head, just as seen on the trophy icon, but it’s a very small creature. Due to its blue glowing color it stands out from the environment when near it. Look for it in Rotten Vale. Tip #1: During the release week from September 06 – September 13 it will always spawn during the timed event “The Lord of the Underworld Beckons” (MR1). This will become unavailable in the future and then you have to get lucky to find it randomly again. Tip #2: Iceborne has added a new skill called “ ” that makes rare endemic life more likely to appear. You can get this buff from the cook in Seliana. First you need to gather the cooking ingredients by finishing all of the Seliana cook’s optional quests and her gathering quests and also you must gather all rare research plants in Hoarfrost Reach (Butterbur, Frozen Foilage and Upsurge-exclusive items).

Make sure you pay with a voucher for a guaranteed chance to trigger the skill. Always do this before looking for rare endemics to greatly improve the odds of finding them. Location #1: Rotten Vale Location #2: Wildspire Waste It can sometimes (rarely) be found on the path to the “creature that creates a beautiful melody” for trophy “Sweet Melody”. By a cactus on the path leading to the highest point of Wildspire Waste (Area 5). Go up the path from the north, then climb up the vines.
	Sweet Melody Capture a creature that creates a beautiful melody.
This is a small blue bird that sings a nice melody. It can rarely spawn at the highest point of Wildspire Waste, which is found in Area 5. Walk up the hill as far as you can (from the north of the red-circled map location below) and climb up the vines. At the very top there are usually some pink birds flying around (any daytime). Among them a rare blue bird can spawn. It can either be sitting (see first screenshot sample) or it can be flying with the other birds in circles (second screenshot sample). Either way you must catch it with the capture net. Make sure you put on the Ghillie Mantle (select at item box) before approaching the bird and leave your Palico behind at the camp so that the bird doesn’t get scared! It can also be hard to spot between the other birds so make sure you climb all the way up the hill to get a good look. Note: All of the below screenshots are captured at the exact same location (Area 5, Wildspire Waste), the only difference is that in the first picture the bird was sitting and in the second picture the bird started the fly around.

	Submerged Mystery Capture a mysterious creature lurking beneath the water’s surface.
You can only catch it at night in the dirty looking water of the underground tunnel area in Hoarfrost Reach. It looks a bit like a sea serpent with a bright dot like a “lantern” on its head. If it doesn’t spawn, fast travel to another map and return to Hoarfrost Reach, check again at night time. It can take a few hours to get it to spawn.

	Celestial Illusion Capture a fantastical creature that floats through the sky.
This animal looks like a huge flying Jellyfish (glides through the air). It can only spawn during clear nights (no rain) at the highest point of Hoarfrost Reach. It’s hard to get there, see the video below. Basically, you must latch on to the wedge beetles on the ceiling of Area 14. After 4 Wedge Beetles you will reach a section where you can walk a little. Put on the Glider Mantle and jump down the opening at the end of the path, but immediately look up to find a very well hidden Wedge Beetle above you. This leads to another hidden area with air coming through the floor. Wait until a big burst of air comes and let it lift you up to the next area, then climb up and use another Wedge Beetle. Lastly, take the path on the left and follow the path all the way to the end up the hill. Tip: Iceborne has added a new skill called “ ” that makes rare endemic life more likely to appear. You can get this buff from the cook in Seliana. First you need to gather the cooking ingredients by finishing all of the Seliana cook’s optional quests and her gathering quests and also you must gather all rare research plants in Hoarfrost Reach (Butterbur, Frozen Foilage and Upsurge-exclusive items).

Make sure you pay with a voucher for a guaranteed chance to trigger the skill. Always do this before looking for rare endemics to greatly improve the odds of finding them.
	Deft Digger Capture a creature that loves to dig holes in the ground.
This animal looks just like a mole that digs holes. You can sometimes see it looking through the floor – beware it appears in groups of 5 moles and is not just a single creature. It only spawns around the Guiding Lands (the endgame area after beating the story), but there it can actually spawn in all of the sections. One possibility is in the Wildspire Waste section (see location below). The problem is that nearby monsters will scare the Moly away. Also make sure you have the Ghillie Mantle on so the creature doesn’t get scared. Leave your Palico behind to play it safe and not scare the creature. Its spawn point is in Area 8 of Guiding Lands, on the sand dune where some ants are running in a line.
	Creatures of the Earth Capture a hole-digging creature from every region.
For this you must catch a Moly (the same you need for trophy “Deft Digger”) in all 4 regions from the Guiding Lands (the endgame area): Ancient Forest, Wildspire Waste, Rotten Vale, Coral Highlands. You must also catch a special variant moly, e.g. Rocky Moly or Mossy Moly (which is a variation with a head piece on it). The problem is that nearby monsters and grimalkyne (cats) will scare the Moly away. Also make sure you have the Ghillie Mantle on and leave your own Palico behind at camp as to note scare the creature. Always check for these when you are in the guiding lands, it takes a while to get lucky enough to find them in each area. Tip: Iceborne has added a new skill called “ ” that makes rare endemic life more likely to appear. You can get this buff from the cook in Seliana.

Make sure you pay with a voucher for a guaranteed chance to trigger the skill. Always do this before looking for rare endemics to greatly improve the odds of finding them. Remember at least one of them should be the rarer Moly variation e.g. “Rocky Moly” or “Mossy Moly” to make it count for the trophy. The rest can be the normal Moly variant.
	Unwavering Defense Obtain five extremely rare pieces of armor.
You will have to create 5 armor pieces of Rank 12. Those will mostly require parts of Master Rank Elder Dragons, so get ready for some grinding.
	Devastating Offense Obtain five extremely rare weapons.
You will have to create 5 weapons of Rank 12. Those will mostly require parts of Master Rank Elder Dragons, so get ready for some griding.
	Personal Treasure Equip your first pendant.
You automatically earn your fist pendant after you’ve reached the guiding lands at the end of the story (finish the last story assignment at 6 stars called “Paean of Guidance”). Next time you open your item box (by the quest board), you will receive a tutorial about pendants. They let you customize the looks of your weapons. Open the item box, click “Pendant Settings” and select any pendant to pop the trophy.
	First Ride Use your first Raider Ride.
While on any map approach a small monster which has the size of logically being able to mounted and press small monster in Hoarfrost Reach.
	Experienced Rider Use Raider Ride many times.
By talking to your Palico in a camp you will unlock the ability to call a ride on demand. Use it many times until you get the trophy (the number is hard to be specified, but it’s not a lot).
	Fledgling Collector Find your first treasure.
See “Ultimate Collector”.
	Veteran Collector Find all treasure within a single locale.
See “Ultimate Collector”.
	Ultimate Collector Find all treasure.
In order to be able to search for treasures you will have to unlock the Pawswap feature in each of the 6 main regions of the game by leveling up the grimalkyne factions up to level 6 in each region individually. In order to level up a faction a member of it has to join you while playing a single player quest. Once you have unlocked the feature you can give stuff to each of the 3 grimalkynes. You will have to give then stuff they like and at some point they will drop a hint of where to find a treasure. Stuff they like: Those are the things I tested to work fine and those should be enough for them to drop all 10 treasure hints. You can give all of these to each grimalkyne. Sadly you can only give them 3 items at a time before you have to travel to another region and come back again for another swapping session. This will take a lot of time but having the locations of the treasures will cut a lot of time searching for them. For the locations click on the links below:
	Remodeler Change your room’s interior for the first time.
After arriving in “Seliana” (the Iceborne DLC’s outpost), you can go to your room there to change the interior design. The quickest way is to scroll over “Seliana” on the world map, press
	Interior Decorator Have 50 different types of room decor to choose from.
See trophy “Architectural Artist”.
	Architectural Artist Have 120 different types of room decor to choose from.
Decor parts are unlocked by: finishing main story quests, buying from the palico in your room or fulfilling the requests of the palico sitting at the window next to your room. Getting all the decor will require a huge amount of Research Points, so be sure to use every possible way the game offers you to earn RP. To get 120 items you will have to finish a lot optional stuff. Simply buying all the available stuff will not be enough. Here’s what you will have to do: ) ) Doing all of this will get you slightly over 120 items.
	Eager Engineer Help the Steamworks 20 times.
After defeating the first monster in the Iceborne Expansion, you come to the outpost “Seliana”. There, up the hill, you can talk to the tech chief by the steamworks. Add fuel by donating ore, then pick dialogue option “Help the Steamworks”. Press Now you need to press 20 button sequences in any order. For this trophy you do NOT need to guess the correct button combo. It can be the wrong combination, just complete 20 button combos total, doesn’t matter if it’s the correct or wrong combo.
	Skilled Steamworker Send the Steamworks into overdrive.
After defeating the first monster in the Iceborne Expansion, you come to the outpost “Seliana”. There, up the hill, you can talk to the tech chief by the steamworks. Add fuel by donating ore, then pick dialogue option “Help the Steamworks”. Press Now you must get many correct button combos while the steamworks is active to bring it into overdrive. “Overdrive” means you get a cutscene where the handler puts items in the oven and then the machine blasts out flames and stuns the tech chief. Bringing it into overdrive also gives some very rare items as a reward. You have to guess the correct button combos, it’s only 3 possible buttons
	Another Miniature Crown Obtain your first miniature crown for capturing endemic life in master rank.
While running across any map you will notice small insects, birds and other small animals. You can catch those with your Capture Net. With some luck it might be a giant or miniature gold crown. It is pointless to measure those little creatures, so just run around catching whatever you see and you will get it at some point.
	Another Giant Crown Obtain your first gold crown for capturing endemic life in master rank.

It is pointless to measure those little creatures, so just run around catching whatever you see and you will get it at some point.
	Fledgling Observer Complete your first request for the Lynian Researcher.
See “Outstanding Observer” just below.
	Outstanding Observer Complete many requests for the Lynian Researcher.
In Seliana the Lynian Researcher will stand next to the entrance to the round table area. He will give you a camera to capture photos for him. Follow this guide to fulfill all of his research requests: »
	Helpful Hunter Aid a low rank or high rank hunter on 10 quests as a master rank hunter.
At any point after arriving in Seliana and reaching the first Master Rank, go to the quest board and search for a low rank or high rank quest that’s posted to the quest board (must be in online session with other players). Alternatively, you can search for SOS flares. It only counts if the person you are joining has NOT unlocked Master Rank yet (they either don’t have the Iceborne DLC at all or have not beaten the Main Game’s Story yet). Even if a friend who has reached Master Rank were to revert to a previous save before Iceborne, it would not work as the game keeps Guild Cards of Master Rank progress. A potential way to “boost” this is by having a friend start a completely new game on a new account and inviting you to their quests. This is just in case you can’t find low rank hunters.
	Master of Masters Reach master rank 200.
Self-explanatory. Master Rank is your new and improved level of “Hunter Rank” in the Iceborne expansion. Kill large monsters and complete quests to increase the rank (your progress bar is shown after each quest). It’s going to be a long grind. After the story you will unlock new Main Assignments at MR49, MR69, MR99. These are tough monster encounters, the one at MR99 being Ruiner Nergigante. After defeating the MR99 Ruiner Nergigante quest it removes your level cap and you can reach MR200. Even if you’ve hit a level cap the game keeps counting any XP earned in the background and awards them to you after doing the quest that removes the cap, so nothing gets wasted.
	Monster Master Maximize the research level for almost all large monsters.
In order to unlock the trophy you will have to max out the research level for all the old monsters (which now have a Master Rank research bar) as well as for the new ones listed below. Collect tracks, use traps on monsters, break their parts, slay or capture them to increase research level. Some monsters do not have a master rank so you won’t have to level those up: Nergigante, Bazelgeuse, Vaal Hazak, Xenojiiva, Lunastra, Deviljho, Zorah Magdaros. Especially Lunastra is easy to miss and has its own Master Rank research level. It spawns in the Guiding Lands when the Wildspire Waste part is at Level 5. (not needed for trophy) (not needed for trophy) (not needed for trophy) (not needed for trophy) (*not needed for trophy)
	True Miniature Crown Collector Obtain a miniature crown for almost every monster in your hunting log.
A monster can on rare occasions be either way bigger or way small than usual. Hunting a monster like this will award you a crown for it. Those can be obtained in investigations and guiding lands. Make sure to play investigations with either 3 or 5 tries and at least one silver and one gold reward for higher chance of a crown. Additionally, you can measure the monsters by standing next to them. Try to remember a point on its body and take it as a way of measurement to see if a monster is bigger or smaller than usual. Putting on a mantle can make it’s easier to take accurate measurements (no armor pieces or hair sticking out over your head). If the monster you are farming is the usual size you quit out and try an investigation again. No need to kill the monster every time if you are sure it’s not the big or small version (which saves a ton of time). Playing in a party of 4 can also speed it up quite a bit. If you platinumed the main game you’ll already be familiar with the process. This will be by far the longest task for platinum, but on your way to Master Rank 200 you can combine it and get the majority of crowns done by then. Under Pause Menu > Hunter’s Notes > Large Monsters Field Guide, you can keep track of what Gold Crowns you got. Under the monster where it says “Smallest” and “Largest” must be a gold crown. IMPORTANT: You need ALL gold crowns from the main game (Monster Hunter World) too, including Lunastra & Deviljho that were added in free updates! Monsters that DON’T have gold crowns (can be skipped):
	True Large Crown Collector Obtain a gold crown for almost every monster in your hunting log.
See “True Miniature Crown Collector” just above.
	The True Hunt Begins Hunt your first large monster in a master rank quest.
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed. This unlocks after the first main story quest in the Iceborne DLC, called “Baptism by Ice”.
	Hunter Prodigy Hunt 100 large monsters in master rank quests.
Self-explanatory. Those don’t have to be monsters new in this expansion, though. You can also hunt master rank versions of the old monsters if you wish.
	Master Capturer Capture 50 large monsters in master rank quests.
Once a monster is damaged near death a skull symbol will appear above its symbol on the radar. Once it appears you can capture the monster by placing either a shock trap or a pitfall trap. Quickly throw 2 tranq bombs to put it to sleep and it will be captured. You can’t capture elder dragons and you shouldn’t use more traps than necessary since each trap you place will last shorter.
	Master Slayer Slay 50 elder dragons in master rank quests.
Elder dragons can’t be caught so you will have to slay them each time. The following elder dragons have a Master Rank version available: Remember that you must be on Master Rank difficulty for this to make it count.
	Confronting the Unknown Hunt your first variant monster.
Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed. You get this automatically for defeating the Shrieking Legiana in the first MR4 (4 stars) main quest “When the Mist Taketh You”.

oh it seems like Kirin G rank is not on the crown list, this is nice. Thank you for the guide as always!

September 5, 2019 at 4:47 pm

Amazing work as always PowerPyx!

Do we need full Kulve Taroth research level for the trophy? I didn’t bother with KT at all so its still at level 1 for me.

I do have the same questions as you regarding the crowns though..I hope I don’t have to get the crowns for Deviljho and mini Lunastra too…

September 5, 2019 at 5:16 pm

I don’t THINK you need Kulve for that, but I simply can’t say for sure since it was at max research for me before i started Iceborne. Also I wasn’t able to find all the endemics yet and kinda need to ask community for help with those since it is like searching for a needle in haystack, but thousands of people should be able to find what I, a single person, couldn’t xD

September 6, 2019 at 3:58 pm

Why longer than World?

September 7, 2019 at 10:47 am

At least because you need all old monsters and new monsters for crowns?!

September 7, 2019 at 6:04 pm

Even If I have already taken all the crowns in World?

September 6, 2019 at 6:08 pm

For the trophy related to finding all the treasure, since you have to have the grimalkyne factions all leveled up, is there a really good way to level each faction up? I never really got around using them that much back in MH World since you had to go out of your way to meet them to have them join you in quests..

January 14, 2020 at 6:25 am

Get one to join your team in expedition. Go back to camp use a lifepowder or Dust of life near them to heal them, then claim rewards or return from expedition. That will raise it super fast. And just repeat until the level is where you want.

September 8, 2019 at 11:36 am

Do u fight a new monsters at MR200????

September 9, 2019 at 1:16 am

Do we have any info on events to get crowns easier?

Monsters seem to have a lot more life now at master rank, I’m thinking killing 4 or 5 monsters in a 50 minutes quest is not doable.

I hope they make some interesting events with 2 or 3 monsters at the same time for crown. If they end up making events for every single monster, this game is a solid 10/10 from me. The game is amazing, and they added a ton of other stuff to do this time, but it gets a little boring when you’re just farming the same monster 10, 20 times to get the last crowns you need.

January 28, 2020 at 5:28 am

Event quests that have you fight 5 monsters in one mission have an increased chance of crown monsters. Outside of those, Investigations have the best chance of crown monsters. Expeditions have a low chance of fighting crown monsters, while assignments and optional quests have the lowest chance.

September 9, 2019 at 6:46 am

Sweet Melody – Capture a creature that creates a beautiful melody. Blue Diva (a bird) spawns at the top of the Wildspire Waste (Area 5) during the day.

Celestial Illusion – Capture a fantastical creature that floats through the sky. Wintermoon Nettle (a flying meduse) spawns at the top of Hoarfrost “secret area” during the night. It’s hard to explain, you access to this area using wedge beetle from area 13.

September 9, 2019 at 3:36 pm

flying meduse = Jellyfish. JustSpanishThings.

September 10, 2019 at 1:15 am

For the trophy “True Miniature Crown Collector” is it confirmd that you need the Gold crowns of the large monsters for it. I Thougt there were talking about the pets.

September 10, 2019 at 1:17 am

They are for the large monsters.

September 10, 2019 at 4:03 pm

Ok Thanks for the quick answer ^^

September 10, 2019 at 3:03 pm

Will you be doing Greedfall trophy guide, or will you focus more on Borderlands?

September 10, 2019 at 7:14 pm

Will focus on Borderlands 3. Too many RPGs too close together (MHW Iceborne, Greedfall, BL3), something had to give.

September 10, 2019 at 4:08 pm

The pet for the trophy “Friendly Pointer” can also spawn in the Coral Highlands near the entrance of the cave in Area 14

September 10, 2019 at 9:33 pm

You get a pendant from unlocking the new Palico skill in Hoarfrost Reach. That’s much sooner than the end of the story.

September 10, 2019 at 11:56 pm

For the Helpful Hunter trophy does it have to be the same Hunter 10 times?

Ive been joining players SOS flares all night and had no luck in getting this trophy to pop (me MR7, them MR0)

September 11, 2019 at 5:44 am

No, I just joined random players and it unlocked fine. Just check it always says master rank 0 for the host of the game.

September 11, 2019 at 3:32 pm

Thanks, I’ll keep trying then. Did you join via SOS flares or joining directly from the quest board out of curiousity?

September 11, 2019 at 5:04 pm

Will you write a guide for Greedfall?

September 11, 2019 at 5:34 pm

I had to skip it, sorry. It fell right between two other major RPGs (MHW Iceborne & Borderlands 3) and unfortunately that didn’t leave me enough time to cover Greedfall. An unfortunate release timing.

September 12, 2019 at 2:36 am

I don’t have the main game crown trophies yet. WIll getting gold crowns from iceborne count for the main game trophies so it’ll make it easier to get my main game platinum?

September 12, 2019 at 3:39 am

The main game has a different monster list than Iceborne. They are treated like different games basically. You’ll still have to get all main game monster crowns for main game plat and all iceborne monsters for iceborne plat.

Starting with Iceborne does make it a little easier because you will be a higher level, have stronger weapons etc. so main game monsters may be quicker to kill.

September 12, 2019 at 4:11 am

well im just down to elders for my main game crowns and i have played over 1oo hours past 300 hours to get them and still need like 4 small and 3 large crowns. the added monsters before iceborne count towards the count, i assumed these did too because it is technically just a add on. if it really is the case that getting crowns in iceborne wont help in main game trophy then im pretty washed up and over this game.

September 13, 2019 at 12:47 pm

How rare is the Ricky Molly? Been hunting it for hours with zoomaster and nothing :/

September 13, 2019 at 1:01 pm

Rocky*, sorry

September 13, 2019 at 5:43 pm

For the crowns I’d say just wait for events like they do with the World, 4 monsters hunt for large chance for crowns. At the meantime just grind for other trophies and MR for the moment.

September 14, 2019 at 1:47 am

also the quest The Lord of the Underworld Beckons for a guaranteed arrowhead is actually not currently available right now. it’s

Available 09/19 17:00 〜 09/26 16:59 UTC

September 15, 2019 at 7:26 am

you can also find the blue diva in coral highlands in area 11

September 16, 2019 at 12:28 am

Just to let you know PowerPyx the trophy “Creatures of the earth” description is incorrect in relation to how to achieve the trophy.

You can get the trophy by getting a variant of the Moly (extremely rare) endemic life. I see that you say to get the Rocky Moly but this is not the only variant Moly. I managed to capture a different variant to the Moly called a Mossy Moly. This then popped the trophy.

September 16, 2019 at 2:13 am

Didn’t know there were other variations, I’ve updated it now. They are all extremely rare, so one must be lucky enough to find one variation but the fact there’s even more variations is even crazier lol. Thanks for pointing it out.

September 19, 2019 at 9:58 am

A method I used for the ‘Helpful Hunter’ trophy to ensure that the person I was helping didn’t have access to MR was to sort SOS requests by High Rank – Assignments. They can’t be MR if they haven’t beaten the vanilla game.

September 22, 2019 at 5:28 am

Powerpyx do you think they will have crown events for the DLC ?BTW I’m a big trophy whore if anyone wants to add me itz_bru7alz..

September 22, 2019 at 9:54 pm

Hello I’ve noticed over the last couple of days that the friendly pointer trophy isn’t to bad to get as the arrow head Gekko will show up on any of the upsurge items for the cooking ingredients

September 23, 2019 at 8:36 am

Hi, I got the Acidic Glavenus gold crown but ‘Another Giant Crown Trophy’ did not unlock. Does this monster count or the trophy is glitched?

September 24, 2019 at 7:09 pm

The “Another” Trophies are for the small creatures like insects and such. The only new trophies for monster crowns are for getting all small or bit.

September 24, 2019 at 3:38 pm

Is impossible to find mini and big gold crown for banbaros

I defeated 60 and till moment I dint find mini or big

I dont know if I am measuring wrong

please make a video about this crown

September 25, 2019 at 8:20 am

In the base game I hunted some monsters over 100 times before getting the gold crowns. It took 124 to get giant rathalos and 85 to get my last crown, giant kushala (and that doesn’t include quests where I sized the monster and left if finding it not small/large enough). Unfortunately sometimes it’s just bad luck and you just have to keep trying. My advice when that happens is switch things up and try crown hunting a different monster for awhile. And definitely make sure to do investigations with high rewards, and look into crown measuring if you haven’t already. Good luck!! (:

September 28, 2019 at 12:48 am

So can anyone confirm, if lunastra and deviljho are needed for the crown trophies?

October 1, 2019 at 10:19 pm

It seems Lunastra is 100% needed and Deviljho probably too.

August 1, 2020 at 1:34 pm

Deviljho no, only Savage Jho, Lunastra yes as she has a MR counterpart

October 4, 2019 at 4:30 am

For the “In Search of Rare Materials” Trophy, you need to gather from one Giant Ore and one Giant Bone Outcrop. When you mine or gather from the mining outcrops and bone piles, you level them up per region, until you reach the end, a giant outcrop appears, you gather from there, and it resets. You gather one from each giant outcrop, and the trophy pops (always wanted to contribute to one of these).

October 4, 2019 at 7:50 am

Thanks, that actually makes a lot more sense now what triggers it exactly. Updated it in the guide and edited you at the end of the trophy description, thank you again!

October 7, 2019 at 10:03 pm

Just wanted to let everyone know Kulve Taroth also doesn’t have any crowns. I’m unsure if she has a master rank version. I can also confirm that Mossy Moly will prompt the Deft Digger trophy. Another large/small gold crown is a pet thing i got when i captured the smallest Duffel Penquin and Giant Goldspring Macaque -on ‘Deliver Hot Spring Stones’ area 2. -Daytime-

October 9, 2019 at 8:33 am

I just want to let you know for the Creatures of the Earth trophy it does not have to be a Moly in all 4 regions of the guiding lands. I got one in Coral area, then Forest area and then after spending hours the Wildspire waste area leveled up to 3 and the game after that i got one there (might be a coincidence?). Then i found a Fluffy Moly in the Coral area, which i have at level 7. I never found one in the Rotten Vale Area (which is at level 1 for me) but 4 total including 1 special and the trophy popped for me. I hear others say the area has to be level 5 for a special one to be able to appear, but then maybe it has to be level 3 for even a normal 1 to appear? Each area has 2 spawn locations by the way. So 8 possible spawns to check out.

October 13, 2019 at 4:58 pm

Some extra info it’s confirmed now. Forest region – Mossy Moly Wildspire region – Rocky Moly Coral region – Fluffy Moly Rotted region – Spiny Moly New Volcanic region – Rowdy Moly

October 19, 2019 at 10:56 am

In regards to getting to the top of area 14, when you’re climbing the mountain essentially, in your video and in your description, this is actually not the intended way to get up… The wedge beetle you use once you have put on the glider mantle (as per your descriiption) IS actually used, but the area in which you jump and look up (as seen in the video) there is actually a jagged wall you can run up just opposite of the jump. Wall jumping off this onto the next jagged wall above the drop and then jumping on to the ice covered wall adjacent (which can be climbed). Jumping off this into an alcove with some more easier wall jumping (just holding R2 and pressing X a couple times should do) which will lead to a small platform where you are greeted with the wedge beetle in the ‘intended’ way. It takes longer to do, but it doesn’t waste your glider mantle time and isn’t as time consuming or difficult as trying to look up and timing the hook right. I’m still trying to get this creature but I hope this helps others not pull some hair out 🙂

March 17, 2020 at 8:45 am

thanks! this tip helped a lot (as did this amazing detailed guide!). also good to note: the giant jellyfish appears not just on a clear night but also when there are groups of moon slugs around.

December 21, 2019 at 1:29 pm

Hi everyone! I would like to share some pieces of info about large/mini gold crown trophies I tested myself: 1-Lunastra and Deviljho are both needed for both crown trophies as it’s shown in this video I made youtu.be/SCD_mt1UdTA. 2-Lunastra is a pain to farm because she’s strong but you can farm her in previous high rank quests or investigations too. 3-Both mini and large Deviljho gold crown are 100% guaranteed in Horizon Zero Dawn High rank quest with 2 tempered Deviljho as long as it’s available. 4-Failed quests CAN grant crowns! Even if you fail a quest, if you kill a monster that will give you a crown, you’ll still get it, as it’s shown in the other video I made youtu.be/8R8_RuLyUQ8. 5-I’m sorry for the language shown in the videos but I have the italian version of the game. Thank you PowerPyx for your wonderfull guides, keep up the good work!

January 3, 2020 at 4:06 am

Master rank event quest “Paolumu Lullabies” is guaranteed miniature crown for Nightshade Paolumu. It’s first available 12/12 〜 01/05.

February 9, 2020 at 6:12 pm

Ok, I came upon an interesting bug:

The Creatures of the Earth trophy requires you to capture one Moly from every region in the Guiding Lands each, and at least one rare Moly from any region.

However, this trophy popped right away for me when I captured my very first AND RARE Moly, a Pink Mosshead Moly from the Coral Highlands region. I was so surprised, then the next trophy, Deft Digger, popped right away. The requirements seem to be that you have not YET caught a normal or rare Moly at all before; this Rare Moly has to be your very first one.

So this should help anyone looking for this trophy; make sure your very first Moly captured is a RARE one, not normal one, and hopefully you can replicate this bug!

Seriously into modules since 2004

From its humble beginnings in 2004 operating out of his parent’s tiny pump house, Gavin Curtis grew ModuleMaster into a leading-edge technology company specializing in the repair of automotive electronics. Today, ModuleMaster operates out of two state-of-the-art facilities in Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho.

ModuleMaster receives over 1,000 modules a month including ABS controllers, instrument clusters, climate control modules, trip computers, and the list keeps growing.

Customer Testimonials

I have used module master on 2 occasions for my 2004 Chevy Suburban. The first time for the ABS module and the second time for the instrument cluster. In both cases both were repaired and returned quickly, both worked perfectly. I recommend module master without any reservations! Mike D. / Long Beach, CA

I sent Module Masters an instrument cluster to get repaired that had an ignition off draw which was not the normal gauge problems that GM clusters have. They fixed it and rebuilt it and it is working great now. I couldn’t be happier!! They have great communication and very knowledgeable. THANKS!! Jesse K. / K-Tech Automotive

You folks have found the right blend of customer service and quality workmanship at a reasonable price. American trained craftsmen are the only way to go for us in this segment of the auto parts repair industry. ABS Automotive | San Mateo, CA

My motorcycle ABS unit quit. Bought a used one off the web, sent to Module Master, they sent it back with the note that it was in perfect working order with NO Charge. I installed it and it works! How wonderful to experience old school customer service, honesty, and integrity. I am sending the faulty one for repair today! Awesome! Wonderful! Stuart D. | Atlanta, GA

Just a short note to thank Gavin and his team at Module Masters. Just received my second front seat ECU module for my Bentley, fully restored to original operating condition. Incredibly fast service and a massive saving over new factory parts, I literally saved hundreds of dollars!! I highly recommend Module Master and will certainly use their services again for future projects. Ken W.

This is a site about the books and other writing by James Rodgers, author of Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia From Lenin to Putin ( new edition 2023 ; first published July 2020); Headlines from the Holy Land (2015 and 2017); No Road Home: Fighting for Land and Faith in Gaza (2013); Reporting Conflict (2012). My work looks at how stories of international affairs, especially armed conflict, are told to the world.

I am an author and journalist. During two decades of covering international news, I reported on the end of the Soviet Union; the wars in Chechnya; the coming to power of Vladimir Putin; 9/11; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the 2003 war in Iraq; Russia’s war with Georgia in 2008. I completed correspondent postings for the BBC in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza. I now teach in the Journalism Department at City, University of London.

Now Out: Assignment Moscow ‘Beautifully written, fascinating throughout’

MY NEW BOOK , Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin has now been published in the U.S. and the U.K.

You can order copies, and read more about the book, here for the U.K, edition ( here for the U.S. edition).

These are the reviews so far

“Reporting from Russia has never been easy; Rodgers vividly captures the changing fortunes of Moscow correspondents over the past hundred years, as they penetrated the mysteries of life in Russia and brought them to our newspapers and screens. Some were duped, some were fellow-travellers or spies; most battled against censors and blank-faced politicians; all have helped to shape our understanding of the world’s biggest country.” – Angus Roxburgh, former Moscow correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times and Economist

“Writing about journalism in Russia since the revolution, James Rodgers rightly emphasises that to understand Russia you have to talk to people of all kinds. But he argues that even correspondents who knew the language and the history found it hard to report dispassionately because of official obstruction and their own emotional involvement.” – Rodric Braithwaite

“A highly original, engrossing and accessible book, Assignment Moscow stands out among journalistic accounts of Russia for its subtlety, humility and historic scope. It tells the story of British and American journalists who aimed to throw light on Russia from Lenin to Putin, and in the process illuminated the West itself.” – Arkady Ostrovsky, Author of The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the age of Fake News, Winner of the 2016 Orwell Prize

“It is hard to believe that in the torrent of books published on Russia each year, that one could come along as original and valuable as Assignment Moscow. One comes to appreciate the service of our reporting men and women in Moscow. For all their fallibilities, without their dedication, we wouldn’t have half the understanding of Russia that we have today, imperfect as it will always be. We therefore owe them – and especially Rodgers as journalist, teacher, analyst and cataloguer – a huge debt.” – James Nixey, Chatham House

I was also delighted to get this endorsement on Twitter from Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at the University of Oxford, and author of The Silk Roads and The New Silk Roads .

Beautifully written, fascinating throughout – and very timely. Happy publication day ⁦ @jmacrodgers ⁩ ! #AssignmentMoscow pic.twitter.com/WY4xlYL6ZR — Peter Frankopan (@peterfrankopan) July 23, 2020

I will be talking about the book at a number of events planned for September onwards. I will share details here when they are available.

I am very happy to talk at book festivals, to universities, think tanks, conferences etc. Please get in touch if you are interested–contact details below, or via the publisher, I.B. Tauris, part of Bloomsbury .
