All Chapters and Assignments in Monster Hunter Wilds

Prepare to take on this massive hunting challenge.

Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the biggest games in the series, with a host of different Chapters to slug through during its 20-plus hour campaign, and that doesn’t even include every side quest and more.

The main story quests, known as Assignments, are split into multiple Chapters, with the end goal being to unlock new monsters to fight against. You’d miss out on a lot of content by rushing through the story with under 30 monsters to combat.

If you want to see what is available, what is coming up, or what Hunter Rank you need to be at to unlock later missions, here is a complete list of all the primary Assignments on offer and what you’ll come up against.

The main missions in Monster Hunter Wilds are split into different Chapters, each divided into Low Rank (Assignment Level 1-3) and High Rank (Assignment Level 4-7), with varying end-game boss fights to contend with. While many story-related cutscenes and other things go on in these quests, we will instead focus on what monsters you’ll come across during each one and what Hunter Rank you unlock them in order.

If you get a mission that requires you to slay a monster, you must kill it. If you get a mission that asks you to hunt a monster, you can either slay or capture it; the final option, Repel, asks you to survive and deal enough damage that the quest ends.
