These quests will allow you to hunt at your leisure without worrying too much about matchmaking or playing online, helping you instead to hunt powerful foes aided by the beloved NPCs from Monster Hunter Rise, and also the newcomer characters in Sunbreak. Here's everything you need to know about it.
Updated April 20, 2023 by Vaspaan Dastoor: With the announcement of Monster Hunter Now, some of you my feel the urge to get back into Rise. Considering the intricacies of the game, we've refreshed this guide to fit our current standards and better readability.
What Are The Followers?
Followers are the NPCs that can escort you in a new type of hunting mission, called Follower Collab Quests. You can unlock many of them and get to hunt with classic characters such as Fugen, Hinoa, Rondine, or Minoto, and also familiarize yourself with new characters like Admiral Galleus, Dame Fiorayne, or Sir Jae.
How To Unlock Follower Quests
After reaching a certain point in the main story, Dame Fiorayne will take you on a hunt with her accompanying you. After completing that quest, Follower Collab Quests will be unlocked. There are two types of Follower Collab Quests, called Follower Quests and Support Surveys.
In Follower Quests, you will team up with one specific NPC of the Monster Hunter Rise or Sunbreak roster, and after you complete the first one, they will be able to accompany you. Keep in mind that every character has a series of Follower Quests that will unlock as you finish the previous ones, so, even if you unlock them as eligible companions, you still have work to do.
Once you unlocked a Follower, they will be eligible to accompany you on any of the Support Surveys. These are Master Rank quests that you cannot play solo by any means, you can bring up to two more Follower NPCs, and vary in difficulty from Master Rank Two to Six. To keep things spicy, each follower can change their weapon between several different options.
How To Unlock Every Follower
Every NPC has their own questline, and after you complete their first Follower Quest, you will gain access to more missions that will help you to eventually unlock them as companions, and obtain their signature weapon or armor sets as available designs in the Blacksmith. The full list goes as follows:
