Complete all critical bounties from the Piscine Researcher in Monster Hunter World.
There are a lot of quests to complete in Monster Hunter World. Some of these will stay on your HUD indefinitely, even if you’d rather worry about other things. Some you’ll get while out on an expedition and struggle to keep track of going forward. The latter group of quests are often Critical Bounties, and usually given to you from the Piscine Researcher or Endemic Life Researcher. Today we’ll be focusing on the former.
Last updated on March 6, 2020 at 4:31 p.m. EST.
There are six Critical Bounties that are given to players from the Piscine Researcher. Most will give you a small reward, but the final quest will give you a Gold Wyverian Print that you can redeem at the Elder Melder . That, my friends, is reason enough alone to grind through this list of tasks, as the Gold Wyverian Print can be redeemed for gems, extremely rare crafting materials. It should be noted, though, that as of the Iceborne DLC, hunters can receive Gold Wyverian Prints for helping lower-ranked hunters with quests. For example, if you are Master Rank and help someone defeat Nergigante on High Rank, you might score a Gold Wyverian Print for your trouble.
Below is a list of Piscine Researcher tasks to complete:
When you are about to head out on an expedition, look at the world map. As you hover over a location, you’ll get a key on the right side that gives you some important details. One of these will be at the bottom under the Field Researcher section. If you see the Piscine Researcher listed there, you’ll be able to find them at that location and get their quests, assuming you don’t already have it.
If you’d like to see which critical bounties you already have active, which ones are done, and which ones you’ve yet to pick up, visit the Resource Center in Astera or Seliana. Active Critical Bounties will be in the list and the text around them will be lit up. Completed Critical Bounties will be in the list by greyed out, and if you have yet to obtain the critical bounty from the Piscine Researcher, it will be absent from the list entirely. Use that information to see what critical bounties you need to finish by cross referencing it with my list.
It should also be noted that once you finish the first five critical bounties on the list, the sixth will be given in a random location it seems. No fear, just bring up the World Map and you can scan each location for the Piscine Researcher. Locate and pay them a visit in order to get the final critical bounty to complete the set.
Now that you are aware of all critical bounties from the Piscine Researcher in Monster Hunter: World, visit our Monster Hunter: World hub to check in on what else you’ve been missing thus far in your journey.

Side quest system in the game.
Bounties are simple side quests that you can receive from Field Researchers when out exploring the new world. There are three types of bounties: registered, critical, and limited.
Clearing registration bounties will reward you with items that are related to the type of Bounty you've completed. They also reward you with armor spheres that you can use to upgrade armor equipment.
Completing critical bounties will unlock new facilities in Astera for you to use. Some of the critical bounties will also unlock new ingredients in the canteen for you. Complete critical bounties to enhance meal effects!
Limited Bounties are updated every week and award you with different tickets once you complete them. You can use these tickets to upgrade your equipment into stronger versions!
Your feedbacks will be checked by our staffs and will be attended to accordingly. Please be advised that we may not reply to every individual feedbacks.

Originally posted by FuBi0 : No. The quest itself. I can't get it because the researcher is not present at the location where they are supposed to be to give me the quest. That's what I meant by "unlocking". Sorry.
Originally posted by FuBi0 : Title. Not sure why this hasnt unlocked for me. Ive completed the storyline, am HR48 and completed the pre-requisite carrier ant capture. Youtube and the wiki both show where I should be able to find her in the coral highlands but she is not appearing. What have I missed?

The Endemic Life and Piscine Researchers both have new Critical Bounties with the addition of Iceborne. Some of theirs is related to the rare endemic species, so if you are aiming for completing the PS4 Trophies, I'd suggest you unlock these as well to knock out two birds with one stone.They will have new quests in the Hoarfrost Reach and the various other locales as well.

People always say where to find the fish, but not how to unlock the quest in order to actually catch the fish in the first place. I know it's given by the Piscine Researcher, but he's nowhere to be found, not in Low Rank or High Rank in the "Field Researchers" info on Expeditions (and I managed to catch the Platinumfish prior to this),

There is A LOT of vague/inconsistent or misleading information scattered across both Reddit pages and YouTube so here's what I've learned. First off, after completing the initial 5 endemic life research quests it seems the endemic life researcher will go away from the expedition map for a few hunts.
