I was thinking he probably didn't do some of these. I'm working on ALL crowns and have gotten quite a few rare crowns including one of the two for the tsuchinoko, my favourite little guy and I'd like to say the hardest to find especially since he's limited to when Kulve Taroth is around. Besides that I do wanna craft every armour and layered armour and talisman etc, not sure if I'd do EVERY weapon or at least try to make all the end level weapons? A rank arena scares me a little but hopefully they aren't THAT bad with good coop partners??

Common stopping point for almost endgame players, super common dude. There's not much left after Raging Brachy besides Alatreon, Fatalis, and chasing slightly higher numbers throgh ridiculous RNG grinding tbh
28:29 So I just finished my 100% run about a month ago, and I can back up this claim. I did a lot of Guiding Lands grinding and was getting crowns left and right once I got regions to level 7. I personally think it has something to do with monsters that show up naturally instead of being summoned, because nearly every time a tempered elder showed up without me summoning it, it was a crown. The wiki had nothing to back it up so I just thought I was getting extremely lucky, but now that I’ve seen someone else claiming the same thing I’m confident there has to be something here (Context: I started from a brand new character and got every achievement for world before Iceborne and then did all of Iceborne achievements before moving to postgame content. Guiding lands was the only way for me to get better gear to make the grind faster, so I did A LOT of Guiding Lands grinding.)
I noticed that too. I accidentally got a large crown velkana and kushala that spawned on their own, and I've been trying to get gold rath and scarred yian garuga for days with no luck.
I love that we all have a monster who made the crown hunt a living nightmare. Mine was scarred yian garuga; made me quit hunting for TWO YEARS until i finally decided to go back and got it within 3 hunts 😭
OPEN QUESTION: Has anyone ever completed the Gold Crown farming and not hated every minute of it? Personally, I've loved MH since 2004, but finishing the gold crown grind left such an awful disgusting taste in my mouth that i dont think i could ever want to play a MH game ever again until its fixed. This indicates to me a horrible design choice. My main idea that could "fix" this would be if we could see the size of a monster by looking at it through binoculars, since the uncertainty is a huge factor of the problem. That also serves to make the binoculars useful. This current system of having to look up YT videos of monster measurements and being like "uhh my dick is touching this specific scale on the leg so it must be gold" cannot be fun for anyone and without doing measurements it would take years to do this naturally.
The crown farming was never supposed to be a main target, it was meant to be something you gradually complete throughout the course of playing the game. A lot of tedium involved in getting 100% could be reduced if the player chips away at them while focusing on other stuff. Once you begin focusing solely on stuff that's meant to be "side projects" it feels tedious because the main fun of the game is fighting monsters. Collecting endemic life, taking pictures of cats, and collecting furniture for your house are intended to be fun distractions to do every now and again, supplementary to your "main projects." Now with that being said, there are plenty of tools at a player's disposal to help them along with these side projects (such as food skills mentioned in the video and in the comments), and I'm sure these were added specifically because the devs know people will make these "side projects" into their main goals. However, skills that help with crown farming are pretty much non-existent. I _think_ Felyne Weakener can theoretically help with tiny crowns, but I'd argue that doesn't count. Having armor skills or food skills that can help players narrow down the size of the monsters they're fighting would definitely be appreciated. Obviously it can't be anything that just flat out tells them, since at the end of the day, MH's gameplay loop is fueled by RNG, but _something_ where the player feels like they have some sort of way to swing things in their favor is desperately needed; like how breaking monster parts gives you a better opportunity at getting the drops you need.
I... Actually do kinda like it in some way. Crown Hunting forced me to be efficient at hunting and it was the month that I realized my own skill play improved noticeably. Do I like all of it? No, lmao, the Vaal Hazak Crowns were my last crown and it took me an obnoxious amount of time. I do kinda enjoy the concert quests though. And if the crown hunting getting some reworks in the future MH, I wish the concert quests should at least be the bare minimum of every monster crowns that are required for the achievement.
Yea, I did it. I didn't enjoy it, but I didn't quite hate it. This was probably because I used the Smart Hunter mod to see if a monster was a crown or not before hunting it tho lmao
As someone that's currently working on a 100% playthrough it's nice to hear an explanation of the treasure hunting that doesn't tell me where they all are. Now I know how to find them myself! This is also the first video I've seen that mentions moleys and isn't a comprehensive list of all endemic life in the game
I can confirm, as a console player, the Rare Moly achievement isn't bugged on PC, it's just very poorly worded; you don't need to catch all of them, just one. Also, for crown hunting, I similarly had a MUCH easier time finding gold crowns in the Guiding Lands than I did doing Investigations, both because the gold crown versions of the monster seemed to spawn a lot more frequently, and the fact that you can meld Banishing Balls and Tracks to lure out specific monsters from the Elder Melder, which just made the whole process a lot faster than continuously jumping into investigation quests and having to go through loading screens. It was still a huge grind, but once I fully committed to the GL, I saw more progress in one week than I had in over a year doing crown hunting. That being said, fuck large gold crown Ruiner Nergigante. Trying to find that big spiky bastard nearly made me throw my controller through my monitor.
This is what makes the HR elder dragons even more painful despite being easier to kill with master rank gear, as you have to grind for investigations to have the slimmest chance to find the crown you need. I got lucky with Vaal hazak but had a harder time with Nergigante
Started Replaying World with family earlier this year & we just reached the guiding lands. Anyways I found some molies in the wildspire area when it was only lvl 3 so the lvl 5 thing is bunk ( the molies also got away I just learned from here that they are rare 🙃)
The guild card achievement isn't out of your control. A lot of people have it so that they automatically send back guild cards when they recieve one. So just send out guild cards to a lot of people and you'll get some back.
I know this video is kinda old by now, but this has genuinely inspired me to go back and do the same. Learned a ton from this about the specifics of some of these trophies
Actually kind of heart warming when u finish all the optional MR and HR/LR quest and getting congratulated by every NPC in the game the throughout the game just gave random convo to actually praise you makes you feel good bout doing it all and a sense of recognition even if its just minor detail it really makes the game memorable 😊
For the 50 Guild Cards, those just came naturally to me by having the Auto-Accept and Send setting and just kept playing a lot of SOS Multiplayer and regularly sent the teams I was in during the Quest End timer or before we capture a monster. Some of em reject it, but you'll be surprised how many will accept and give you their cards too. Once I gave myself to playing Multiplayer since I have a lot of confidence in my capacity as a Hunter where I can support and not die regularly--It really opened up a much more enjoyable experience for World for me. Also getting high level hunter cards makes your Palico Expedition yields so much better. So it has its benefits.
What an accomplishment, man. I'm working toward the same and I'm at 85/100 right now. I've just been slacking off with my Arena Quests and such but I made a ton of progress on the Treasure Hunter achievement this week so I'm not too mad. My plan for the gold crowns is to farm up the 12% quests and knock out all the basic monsters before I move onto the Elder Dragons, and I lucked out severely and got a large gold crown Deviljho in only a handful of runs so the RNG was actually pretty well in my favor up to this point. I got all the base game gold crowns doing this, other than Elder Dragons and specifically the Black Diablos which has been a roadblock. After that I'm just going to make custom armor sets to specifically combat everything remaining, and just go HAM. Might even go for the entire set instead of only doing the required ones.
Fun fact: You can get Celestial Wyverian prints for doing some requests in the observation logs, it’ll help when needing a rare gem or mantle, it especially helped me.
I'm on my way to doing 100%. I also had the moly achievement bug on ps4 after catching the sneezy moly. I need to do crowns and treasure hunting. Treasure hunting is the main reason I've not platinumed it yet.
As someone who hasn't played since 2019 (I think) and wanting to get back into it on occasion but failing due to the long break... this was a really fun and encouraging watch. I was busy with ACNH during the pandemic but man, MHW would have been a wonderful time sink
for those who want to make it a little easier for themselves and have no ethical issues with using mods. it is possible to use a game overlay that displays all monsters in the map as soon as you load in with a crown icon next to their name if they are indeed a crown. this has no other gameplay effects and although game overlays offer the option to display monster health, you do get the option to disable the health counter and only display the monster icon + the crown icon (if it applies). some might think this is cheating but at the end of the day it's simply a time shortcut and fun is subjective.
I finished 100% World a couple months back, and it was excruciating. needless to say, I'm doing Rise right now and I can't wait to do it again for Wilds.
1:08 "I needed something comfortable and familiar" *proceeds to get more and more desperate and unhinged as the video goes on* For a second I dared to hope it wouldn't be such an unsurmountable task but I guess I'll look for easier games to 100% :D
For the 50 Guild Cards, I believe the default setting is to automatically send Guild Cards back, making it a surprisingly unproblematic achievement so long as the game is still played and the servers stay online.
Great essay on the madness of the greatest mh player ! Bad jokes aside, did you know the one game actually requires you to farm for the crowns ? IIRC, in mhG you only got access to the hub quests for the subspecies by getting a golden crown of the base monster. however, some of the subspecies quests were key quests, which means you needed some of the crowns to progress. The key words are IIRC though, since I can’t seem to find if it was just rumours or real stuff
I remember getting 100% of world iceborne on my ps4 and I got so close but that one large gold crown vaal hazak evaded me for so long it was utter madness, I gave up for a long time then got it out the blue, was a mental experience
The grind that shall not be named took me so long cause of how many times i gave up on it. Also the lynian treasure hunting; the palico tends to sniff the treasure when you are nearby
Me and my bf just did this few days ago on PC, and he already had done this once, but on console, so yeah, I know how it's grinding. Now into Rise/Sunbreak!
This was fantastic! Congrats! I'm... a true masochist. Originally reading the title I thought you were gonna say like... "oh I got all maxed out armors and weapons" etc... that's what I'm tempted to do in Rise...
The reason you probably already had all the rare creatures is because collecting them unlocks certain ingredients in the Canteen. Well, at least the Downy Crake which unlocks the "Dragon Killer Sake". I swear I remember the others being important for something too.
Ah, Gold Crown hunting how I hate you so. My only joy was getting Small crown Valstrax the first time i hunted him and then getting the Large crown about 8 hunts later.
just wanna say, thanks for the guide after 1300 hours, and 2 whole solo runs on swaxe and horn each. and only 15 days of dedicated achievement hunting, i got the 100% was scared crown hunting would take me months
15:43 for the jellyfish, if he not there. Just wait patiently for the next night cycle (50mins) to see if he appears the next night. Take roughly 5hour to get the baster, but it better then running up the mountain to get nothing in return and repeating it 17:50 it a misleading description, im pretty sure bad translation
If ur trying to lvl up ur trailraiders so u can find treasure rather than traveling between a new map every time u can just go on an expedition, find or call a cat, use all ur life powders/potions, and then request ur expedition rewards, refill potions and do it again until that areas cars r max level.
The hardest part will be the crown hunting. I "commissioned" the help of my friends (for free) to help me gather crowns so it was just idk 5 people spamming events and investigations check if the monster is crown then kill or get out. It would've been hell doing it alone.
As a dual blades user who has never jumped from a ledge without demon mode, I still haven't mounted a monster. I plan to make it my second to last achievement, right before I fire my first SOS flare.
I got the Creatures of the Earth achievement after catching the Mossy Moly as well. I did get the Rocky one before that. Apparently it just triggers when getting the Mossy fella.
As a complete madman, when I had some missing achievements left to do such as: Arena Quests, Multiplayer, Guild Cards, Monster PHD/Master, CROWN HUNTING, pawswap treasures, and observations. Out of all of them, I went straight to crown hunting (completing the PhD/master along the way) and did the rest last 2025: Done
Congrats on your 100% achivements ! Pretty nice video that remembers me my own journey throught the 100% last year. BUT you forgot to mention that gold crown isn't just about looks, it's also about fights differences. It's way harder to hunt a brute tigrex that is a big gold crown than a regular one. Also a tiny gold crown yian Garuga isn't that easy to fight neither. And finally you did miss a huge part in the end that is really really important to mention. There is specific monsters to hunt that were way harder to find in gold crowns than others, because no investigation quest or harder size-looking/mesuring ones. Regular Deviljho because it is only available in expert mode and is a pretty huge monster so tiny and big crowns are harder to mesure. Also there is only quest with 1% on expert rank, and the only way I found to make it easier was to find it at a 3% chance of gold crown if it was on what we call "invading monsters", meaning you go for an investigation with 3 gold rewards but without the deviljho as a target (because it was really rare to find it as a target of those), and after you loaded the map, you go to mesure whether the Deviljho is in the area as a "invading monsters" is or not a gold crown. Then the worst of all monsters to find as gold crown, the most challenging, the 1% mini and 2% big crown, the mighty 'Scarred Yian Garuga', a version of the regular Yian Garuga that is stronger, and ultra rare to find throught investigation quest. So for me and many others, and you also probably, we had to go for the event quest in the forest, that is 1% to 2%, the lowest percent quest for those gold crowns. And I was really "lucky" because I managed to get both mini and big crown under 60 encounters, while it could or should have been the double. Aside of those 2 monsters, every other monsters could be found with at least 3% chance of mini gold crown and 6% chance of gold crown which is in fact huge, because when combined it makes nearly 10% chance to get your first gold crown on a monster hunt, which mean if you have no crown on it and if you're on an average luck, you will get one of the 2 crowns for a monster in around 10 encouters. No need to kill all those 10 tho, just kill the tinniest and the biggest you encounter. It could have been great to share the amounts of kills and hours you had to face for the hardest crown hunting you had to go for : For me the hardest one was to get the gold crowns of the Gold Rathian, which took me around 20-22hours of either hunt or just load reload map untill she was looking like a gold crown. And in fact, she was bugged, such as Silver Rathalos, because the tiniest looking one, wasn't the tiny gold crown. I had to hunt a slightly bigger one (visually), to get the tiny gold crown. Then my 2nd hardest crowns to get was Kirin, around 15hours farm. Then as 3rd the Scarred Yian Garuga, around 12hours. Then for all the rest of the monsters it was between 5-10hours. And the easiest crown I got, really lucky, was in my beggining where I started the crown hunting doing all 3 (Velkhana, Teostra, Lunastra) which were the hardest monsters to fight for me back then (except the Teostra which I found way easier than the other 2). And so I got both gold crown on the Lunastra just after slaying her 5 times exactly. That was the first time I did a crown hunting too in any monster hunter game and the hunt for the 100% achievement in a monster hunter game too. It was the 3rd games of MH I ever played, firsts ones were MHTri and MHTriU a long time ago. When I started my journey to look for the 100% I already had 59 achievements on the 100 there is, and I was around 207hours on the game. And it took me around 245hours more to get to the 100% achivement. Can't wait to try the challenge again in Monster Hunter Wilds next year in march if I feel like it ^^ But it's definitly a tough journey, and when you have a job next to that, it's hard to find the time to do those challenges. Good luck for your next achivements challenges, and may the 4th be with you !
Hey congrats on joining the few conquerors, that currently 0.7% achievement is 1000% worth the grind huh. My final crown hunt was rajang and as an insect glaive main, it was agonizing lmao
For the Guild Cards you can literally just hop between full Safi/Kulve/Alatreon/Fatalis sessions and send your guild card to everyone and hope they have auto-send turned on. I did this and I was getting 2-5 cards per session. Took me like 15 mins.
That's an incredible achievement especially considering i did it myself, and both core and iceborne combined took me around 2 years to complete, but the DLC was obviously much faster, with a few tedious things i left for last like getting gold crowns, and the forest pteryx which was insanely hard to find!
I want to 100% MHW cuz I’m a MH vet since literally the first game. I’m 29 so I’ve been around. I just have no friends. I’m pretty good at all the games too. Just from experience over the years. Switch axe is my main.
Did the exact same grind 2 years ago, wanted that 100%. The Moley bug happens on the PlayStation version as well, and like you said I definitely was not complaining. The trophy definitely is misleading
I 100% the game. Then i made all pendants, all layered armor, maxed out gold eggs, now i am working on getting all my GL areas to 7. It is very slow going, but I am making progress. When I'm not doing GL, I have almost 1600 Safi kills (most are solo, full energy, single runs), and i help others. After over 8000 hours, and 22,000 monster kills, i don't know why i never get bored of this game.
17:43 What if it's worded badly or translated weird? What if ''every region'' is supposed to stand for the Guiding Lands, since it has biomes from (almost) every map (region) of the game.
Eyyy good job I wasn’t good with the hunter, but for risebreak crown hunting i found using a mega barrel bomb as my reference point saved me a lot of trouble-the metal bands can act as a line that’s a lot more understandable than the hunter. Not that that helps you now Knowing that about the money glitch means maybe i can snag that cheeto after all!
If I recall correctly you can just spam mega potion with the wide range skill, no need to hop between maps. Should boost unity by a LOT, I could certainly be wrong though, it's been a while
I feel the need to mention that you put "Confronting the Unknown" (First Variant) in the natural play section. In my opinion, it should be in the unmissable section, as you must defeat Shrieking Legiana to progress through the story.

Both Vaal Hazaaks for me are STILL a fucking nightmare@@zvkronos
OPEN QUESTION: Has anyone ever completed the Gold Crown farming and not hated every minute of it? Personally, I've loved MH since 2004, but finishing the gold crown grind left such an awful disgusting taste in my mouth that i dont think i could ever want to play a MH game ever again until its fixed. This indicates to me a horrible design choice. My main idea that could "fix" this would be if we could see the size of a monster by looking at it through binoculars, since the uncertainty is a huge factor of the problem. That also serves to make the binoculars useful. This current system of having to look up YT videos of monster measurements and being like "uhh my dick is touching this specific scale on the leg so it must be gold" cannot be fun for anyone and without doing measurements it would take years to do this naturally.
The crown farming was never supposed to be a main target, it was meant to be something you gradually complete throughout the course of playing the game. A lot of tedium involved in getting 100% could be reduced if the player chips away at them while focusing on other stuff. Once you begin focusing solely on stuff that's meant to be "side projects" it feels tedious because the main fun of the game is fighting monsters. Collecting endemic life, taking pictures of cats, and collecting furniture for your house are intended to be fun distractions to do every now and again, supplementary to your "main projects."
Now with that being said, there are plenty of tools at a player's disposal to help them along with these side projects (such as food skills mentioned in the video and in the comments), and I'm sure these were added specifically because the devs know people will make these "side projects" into their main goals. However, skills that help with crown farming are pretty much non-existent. I _think_ Felyne Weakener can theoretically help with tiny crowns, but I'd argue that doesn't count. Having armor skills or food skills that can help players narrow down the size of the monsters they're fighting would definitely be appreciated. Obviously it can't be anything that just flat out tells them, since at the end of the day, MH's gameplay loop is fueled by RNG, but _something_ where the player feels like they have some sort of way to swing things in their favor is desperately needed; like how breaking monster parts gives you a better opportunity at getting the drops you need.
I... Actually do kinda like it in some way.
Crown Hunting forced me to be efficient at hunting and it was the month that I realized my own skill play improved noticeably.
Do I like all of it?
No, lmao, the Vaal Hazak Crowns were my last crown and it took me an obnoxious amount of time.
I do kinda enjoy the concert quests though. And if the crown hunting getting some reworks in the future MH, I wish the concert quests should at least be the bare minimum of every monster crowns that are required for the achievement.
Yea, I did it. I didn't enjoy it, but I didn't quite hate it. This was probably because I used the Smart Hunter mod to see if a monster was a crown or not before hunting it tho lmao
Totally agree
I can say I still enjoyed every minute of it. I did it on the Xbox version, so no mods could be used
As someone that's currently working on a 100% playthrough it's nice to hear an explanation of the treasure hunting that doesn't tell me where they all are. Now I know how to find them myself! This is also the first video I've seen that mentions moleys and isn't a comprehensive list of all endemic life in the game
I can confirm, as a console player, the Rare Moly achievement isn't bugged on PC, it's just very poorly worded; you don't need to catch all of them, just one.
Also, for crown hunting, I similarly had a MUCH easier time finding gold crowns in the Guiding Lands than I did doing Investigations, both because the gold crown versions of the monster seemed to spawn a lot more frequently, and the fact that you can meld Banishing Balls and Tracks to lure out specific monsters from the Elder Melder, which just made the whole process a lot faster than continuously jumping into investigation quests and having to go through loading screens. It was still a huge grind, but once I fully committed to the GL, I saw more progress in one week than I had in over a year doing crown hunting.
That being said, fuck large gold crown Ruiner Nergigante. Trying to find that big spiky bastard nearly made me throw my controller through my monitor.
yea screw big boi ruined nergigante
This is what makes the HR elder dragons even more painful despite being easier to kill with master rank gear, as you have to grind for investigations to have the slimmest chance to find the crown you need.
I got lucky with Vaal hazak but had a harder time with Nergigante
I love the Tropical Freeze music
Started Replaying World with family earlier this year & we just reached the guiding lands.
Anyways I found some molies in the wildspire area when it was only lvl 3 so the lvl 5 thing is bunk
( the molies also got away I just learned from here that they are rare 🙃)
I might be the only one but I love crown hunting, it just scratches that itch in me
Psycho
@@BLOODKINGbro thanks, still doing it btw
The guild card achievement isn't out of your control. A lot of people have it so that they automatically send back guild cards when they recieve one. So just send out guild cards to a lot of people and you'll get some back.
congrats on the 100%! i still got a ways to go since im at 88 atm.
now you can go 100% Rise/Sunbreak >:)
I started playing world day 1 and put over 3,600 total hours into it before I got my final Gold Crown in November of 2023. CROWN HUNTING SUCKS SO BAD.
I know this video is kinda old by now, but this has genuinely inspired me to go back and do the same. Learned a ton from this about the specifics of some of these trophies
i remember my first crown monsters. i had no clue what they were but it was funny to see a gigantic banabaro and a tiny winy deviljho...
Actually kind of heart warming when u finish all the optional MR and HR/LR quest and getting congratulated by every NPC in the game the throughout the game just gave random convo to actually praise you makes you feel good bout doing it all and a sense of recognition even if its just minor detail it really makes the game memorable 😊
For the 50 Guild Cards, those just came naturally to me by having the Auto-Accept and Send setting and just kept playing a lot of SOS Multiplayer and regularly sent the teams I was in during the Quest End timer or before we capture a monster. Some of em reject it, but you'll be surprised how many will accept and give you their cards too.
Once I gave myself to playing Multiplayer since I have a lot of confidence in my capacity as a Hunter where I can support and not die regularly--It really opened up a much more enjoyable experience for World for me.
Also getting high level hunter cards makes your Palico Expedition yields so much better. So it has its benefits.
Playing the Wilds beta has renewed my drive to get to 100% on world. I know this wasnt a guide per se but the tips are much appreciated!
Heh, the exact same thing happened to me. Now i can await Wilds with a smirk on my face.
Just got the ICEBORNE platinum yesterday.
730 hours later.
currently doing this now wish me luck great vid!
the Wintermoon Nettle still evades me to this day i've done ever "strat" possible and still have not got it
100% the Goal of any gamer! Awesome!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What an accomplishment, man. I'm working toward the same and I'm at 85/100 right now. I've just been slacking off with my Arena Quests and such but I made a ton of progress on the Treasure Hunter achievement this week so I'm not too mad. My plan for the gold crowns is to farm up the 12% quests and knock out all the basic monsters before I move onto the Elder Dragons, and I lucked out severely and got a large gold crown Deviljho in only a handful of runs so the RNG was actually pretty well in my favor up to this point. I got all the base game gold crowns doing this, other than Elder Dragons and specifically the Black Diablos which has been a roadblock. After that I'm just going to make custom armor sets to specifically combat everything remaining, and just go HAM. Might even go for the entire set instead of only doing the required ones.
As someone who is also working on going for 100% of MHW, you certainly picked one hell of a mountain to climb as your first game to trophy hunt for.
Fun fact: You can get Celestial Wyverian prints for doing some requests in the observation logs, it’ll help when needing a rare gem or mantle, it especially helped me.
I'm on my way to doing 100%. I also had the moly achievement bug on ps4 after catching the sneezy moly. I need to do crowns and treasure hunting. Treasure hunting is the main reason I've not platinumed it yet.
As someone who hasn't played since 2019 (I think) and wanting to get back into it on occasion but failing due to the long break... this was a really fun and encouraging watch. I was busy with ACNH during the pandemic but man, MHW would have been a wonderful time sink
for those who want to make it a little easier for themselves and have no ethical issues with using mods. it is possible to use a game overlay that displays all monsters in the map as soon as you load in with a crown icon next to their name if they are indeed a crown. this has no other gameplay effects and although game overlays offer the option to display monster health, you do get the option to disable the health counter and only display the monster icon + the crown icon (if it applies).
some might think this is cheating but at the end of the day it's simply a time shortcut and fun is subjective.
for the moly acheivement you dont need each type of moly, you just need to catch a moly in each area (the basic one works), it saved years of my life
Knowing that you went through all of this while hearing deep dives about Kissinger and G Gordon Liddy makes it even better, tbh.
I finished 100% World a couple months back, and it was excruciating.
needless to say, I'm doing Rise right now and I can't wait to do it again for Wilds.
1:08 "I needed something comfortable and familiar"
*proceeds to get more and more desperate and unhinged as the video goes on*
For a second I dared to hope it wouldn't be such an unsurmountable task but I guess I'll look for easier games to 100% :D
11:53
"Your eternal soul will be devoured"
thank u rajang
i got goose bumps when he said corwn hunting
I did not know I could fast travel to paw pass until I began playing again this year.
For the 50 Guild Cards, I believe the default setting is to automatically send Guild Cards back, making it a surprisingly unproblematic achievement so long as the game is still played and the servers stay online.
Great essay on the madness of the greatest mh player ! Bad jokes aside, did you know the one game actually requires you to farm for the crowns ? IIRC, in mhG you only got access to the hub quests for the subspecies by getting a golden crown of the base monster. however, some of the subspecies quests were key quests, which means you needed some of the crowns to progress.
The key words are IIRC though, since I can’t seem to find if it was just rumours or real stuff
I remember getting 100% of world iceborne on my ps4 and I got so close but that one large gold crown vaal hazak evaded me for so long it was utter madness, I gave up for a long time then got it out the blue, was a mental experience
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Gratz on 100%
Oceaniz “The Completionist”
The grind that shall not be named took me so long cause of how many times i gave up on it.
Also the lynian treasure hunting; the palico tends to sniff the treasure when you are nearby
Me and my bf just did this few days ago on PC, and he already had done this once, but on console, so yeah, I know how it's grinding. Now into Rise/Sunbreak!
Bro big ups out of any game to 100% this one is a beast
Thank you for explaining the guild card trick. That has been the bane of my existence.
This was fantastic! Congrats! I'm... a true masochist. Originally reading the title I thought you were gonna say like... "oh I got all maxed out armors and weapons" etc... that's what I'm tempted to do in Rise...
The reason you probably already had all the rare creatures is because collecting them unlocks certain ingredients in the Canteen.
Well, at least the Downy Crake which unlocks the "Dragon Killer Sake". I swear I remember the others being important for something too.
Ah, Gold Crown hunting how I hate you so. My only joy was getting Small crown Valstrax the first time i hunted him and then getting the Large crown about 8 hunts later.
just wanna say, thanks for the guide
after 1300 hours, and 2 whole solo runs on swaxe and horn each. and only 15 days of dedicated achievement hunting, i got the 100%
was scared crown hunting would take me months

15:43 for the jellyfish, if he not there. Just wait patiently for the next night cycle (50mins) to see if he appears the next night. Take roughly 5hour to get the baster, but it better then running up the mountain to get nothing in return and repeating it
17:50 it a misleading description, im pretty sure bad translation
If ur trying to lvl up ur trailraiders so u can find treasure rather than traveling between a new map every time u can just go on an expedition, find or call a cat, use all ur life powders/potions, and then request ur expedition rewards, refill potions and do it again until that areas cars r max level.
The hardest part will be the crown hunting. I "commissioned" the help of my friends (for free) to help me gather crowns so it was just idk 5 people spamming events and investigations check if the monster is crown then kill or get out. It would've been hell doing it alone.
I'd gladly listen to you talk about 100%ing games you really enjoy
Gaming with Abyss is actually so helpful for achievement hunting. And they have guides for so many games
Awesome video. Congratulations on 💯. I'm still on this path. Interested to watch more similar videos. Maybe Sunbreak or Wilds 😂
I dread the horrifying thought of true crown achievement for endemic life in mhwilds
I got creatures of the earth achievement on playstation like that too
just finish my 100% achivement on PC, Crown monster are really hell. glad I can use hunterpie, its help alot
As a dual blades user who has never jumped from a ledge without demon mode, I still haven't mounted a monster. I plan to make it my second to last achievement, right before I fire my first SOS flare.
25:58 why did u not take any damage after get hit twice? 🧐
30:32
I liked doing the pawswap, it was easy and peaceful. Slowly I was driven into a lull by the endless palico dancing.
I decided to 100% MHW about a year and a half ago and burned out bad. This is exactly what I needed
I got the Creatures of the Earth achievement after catching the Mossy Moly as well. I did get the Rocky one before that.
Apparently it just triggers when getting the Mossy fella.
As a complete madman, when I had some missing achievements left to do such as: Arena Quests, Multiplayer, Guild Cards, Monster PHD/Master, CROWN HUNTING, pawswap treasures, and observations.
Out of all of them, I went straight to crown hunting (completing the PhD/master along the way) and did the rest last
2025: Done
Congrats on your 100% achivements !
Pretty nice video that remembers me my own journey throught the 100% last year. BUT you forgot to mention that gold crown isn't just about looks, it's also about fights differences. It's way harder to hunt a brute tigrex that is a big gold crown than a regular one. Also a tiny gold crown yian Garuga isn't that easy to fight neither. And finally you did miss a huge part in the end that is really really important to mention. There is specific monsters to hunt that were way harder to find in gold crowns than others, because no investigation quest or harder size-looking/mesuring ones.
Regular Deviljho because it is only available in expert mode and is a pretty huge monster so tiny and big crowns are harder to mesure. Also there is only quest with 1% on expert rank, and the only way I found to make it easier was to find it at a 3% chance of gold crown if it was on what we call "invading monsters", meaning you go for an investigation with 3 gold rewards but without the deviljho as a target (because it was really rare to find it as a target of those), and after you loaded the map, you go to mesure whether the Deviljho is in the area as a "invading monsters" is or not a gold crown.
Then the worst of all monsters to find as gold crown, the most challenging, the 1% mini and 2% big crown, the mighty 'Scarred Yian Garuga', a version of the regular Yian Garuga that is stronger, and ultra rare to find throught investigation quest. So for me and many others, and you also probably, we had to go for the event quest in the forest, that is 1% to 2%, the lowest percent quest for those gold crowns. And I was really "lucky" because I managed to get both mini and big crown under 60 encounters, while it could or should have been the double.
Aside of those 2 monsters, every other monsters could be found with at least 3% chance of mini gold crown and 6% chance of gold crown which is in fact huge, because when combined it makes nearly 10% chance to get your first gold crown on a monster hunt, which mean if you have no crown on it and if you're on an average luck, you will get one of the 2 crowns for a monster in around 10 encouters. No need to kill all those 10 tho, just kill the tinniest and the biggest you encounter.
It could have been great to share the amounts of kills and hours you had to face for the hardest crown hunting you had to go for :
For me the hardest one was to get the gold crowns of the Gold Rathian, which took me around 20-22hours of either hunt or just load reload map untill she was looking like a gold crown. And in fact, she was bugged, such as Silver Rathalos, because the tiniest looking one, wasn't the tiny gold crown. I had to hunt a slightly bigger one (visually), to get the tiny gold crown.
Then my 2nd hardest crowns to get was Kirin, around 15hours farm.
Then as 3rd the Scarred Yian Garuga, around 12hours.
Then for all the rest of the monsters it was between 5-10hours.
And the easiest crown I got, really lucky, was in my beggining where I started the crown hunting doing all 3 (Velkhana, Teostra, Lunastra) which were the hardest monsters to fight for me back then (except the Teostra which I found way easier than the other 2). And so I got both gold crown on the Lunastra just after slaying her 5 times exactly.
That was the first time I did a crown hunting too in any monster hunter game and the hunt for the 100% achievement in a monster hunter game too. It was the 3rd games of MH I ever played, firsts ones were MHTri and MHTriU a long time ago.
When I started my journey to look for the 100% I already had 59 achievements on the 100 there is, and I was around 207hours on the game. And it took me around 245hours more to get to the 100% achivement.
Can't wait to try the challenge again in Monster Hunter Wilds next year in march if I feel like it ^^ But it's definitly a tough journey, and when you have a job next to that, it's hard to find the time to do those challenges. Good luck for your next achivements challenges, and may the 4th be with you !
Hey congrats on joining the few conquerors, that currently 0.7% achievement is 1000% worth the grind huh. My final crown hunt was rajang and as an insect glaive main, it was agonizing lmao
I did it too + iceborne.
Was a fun ride.
Most painful stuff was crown farming and this one squid thing endemic life on the mountain 🏔️ in iceborn
A good day is a day with Oceaniz video
For the Guild Cards you can literally just hop between full Safi/Kulve/Alatreon/Fatalis sessions and send your guild card to everyone and hope they have auto-send turned on. I did this and I was getting 2-5 cards per session. Took me like 15 mins.
12% sounds like pretty good odds to me. Im used to shiny hunting in pokemon with a 1/254 chance.😅
That's an incredible achievement especially considering i did it myself, and both core and iceborne combined took me around 2 years to complete, but the DLC was obviously much faster, with a few tedious things i left for last like getting gold crowns, and the forest pteryx which was insanely hard to find!
I want to 100% MHW cuz I’m a MH vet since literally the first game. I’m 29 so I’ve been around. I just have no friends. I’m pretty good at all the games too. Just from experience over the years. Switch axe is my main.
LOVE the tropical freeeze music! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did the exact same grind 2 years ago, wanted that 100%. The Moley bug happens on the PlayStation version as well, and like you said I definitely was not complaining. The trophy definitely is misleading
Great journey! Would love a Pirate Warriors 4 video
Great video, well edited, narrated, great info. Im sitting at 79/100, might have to do this eventually 👍
I 100% the game. Then i made all pendants, all layered armor, maxed out gold eggs, now i am working on getting all my GL areas to 7. It is very slow going, but I am making progress.
When I'm not doing GL, I have almost 1600 Safi kills (most are solo, full energy, single runs), and i help others.
After over 8000 hours, and 22,000 monster kills, i don't know why i never get bored of this game.
i became a fan of yours some time ago... but hearing DK music in your video made me a life time follower of yours :D
17:43 What if it's worded badly or translated weird? What if ''every region'' is supposed to stand for the Guiding Lands, since it has biomes from (almost) every map (region) of the game.
Eyyy good job
I wasn’t good with the hunter, but for risebreak crown hunting i found using a mega barrel bomb as my reference point saved me a lot of trouble-the metal bands can act as a line that’s a lot more understandable than the hunter.
Not that that helps you now
Knowing that about the money glitch means maybe i can snag that cheeto after all!
Trying to find those rare monsters is like trying to find rare poogie sets in MH4U
MHW online was probably the friendliest and nicest online community I ever experienced
If I recall correctly you can just spam mega potion with the wide range skill, no need to hop between maps. Should boost unity by a LOT, I could certainly be wrong though, it's been a while
I'd be absolutely down for more Achievement Stuff, idk I just find it kinda neat lmao
Great Video btw, love ur stuff :)
nice to see a fellow behind the bastards enjoyer
