How To Complete The Flash Course Side Quest In Monster Hunter Wilds

by

In Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s a diverse array of side missions that involve tracking and hunting monsters. However, some special quests delve into the lesser-known inhabitants of the prohibited island. These unique quests typically task you with capturing these creatures, an endeavor that proves more challenging than it initially seems.

In this adventure, your Palico assigns you a side mission called “The Flash Course.” To finish this task, you need to catch some elusive Flashflies. Although you often run into these creatures while hunting monsters, you rarely have the opportunity or spare moments to trap them during monster hunts. But don’t worry! This guide will show you how to locate one and effortlessly capture it, enabling you to complete the side quest successfully.

How To Begin The Flash Course Side Quest

The second mission assigned to you by your Palico is called “Flash Course.” The first one was “Healing Help,” where you had to capture a Vigorwasp. Once you’ve finished the Healing Help quest, go back to your Palico who will then provide you with the Flash Course Quest.

To start this journey, simply have a chat with your Palico, who resides near the tent within any of the base camps.

Where To Find And Capture Flashflies

Instead of heading out in search of Flashflies all over the map, simply venture southeast from the Windward Plains’ base camp exit. This direct path will guide you right to a cluster of Flashflies, with minimal risks or dangers lurking about, making it an effortless task to catch them.

As a fervent admirer, I’d like to share an exciting tip! You can pin Flashflies on your map as waypoints, and trusty old Seikret will guide you directly to their location.

To catch Flashflies, toggle to the Capture Net function on your Slinger. You can locate the Capture Net within the group of Essential Items. After activating it, a grid-like target symbol will show up on your screen as you aim using the Slinger.

Go up to the cluster of Flashflies, then fire your Capture Net or any Slinger Ammo at them. After that, make your way back to the base camp and chat with your Palico once more to complete the mission.

Completing the side mission in the Flash Course will grant your Palico the ability to use the Flashfly Cage, and subsequently, you’ll have a new quest available from them.
