How to unlock Proof of a Hero in Monster Hunter Wilds

Here are all the requirements of unlocking the Proof of a Hero event.

  • Complete Freedom from Solitude. This permanent quest required you to defeat an Arch-Tempered Arkveld, and it’s a 10-star quest (the highest difficulty). Naturally, this isn’t a mean feat, and you will also need help from other hunters.
  • Completing three 9-star hunts in the form of Tango of Lives Ablaze, Serenade of Scarlet Water, and The Wind n’ Sand Blues quests.

Okay, so if you want to finish all four quests, you’ll need to get to Hunter Rank 100. I know that’s a big grind, especially if you’re just starting out – it’s going to take a while! But the good news is these quests aren’t going anywhere, so you can really take your time and enjoy the process. No rush at all!

After finishing all available quests, talk to Alma at any base camp to receive the “Proof of a Hero” optional quest. You can complete this quest with other players, but everyone must be at Hunter Rank 100. It’s easy to miss, but speaking with Alma is essential to unlock “Proof of a Hero” – it won’t appear until you do!

The Proof of a Hero quest requires defeating four Arch-Tempered monsters.

  • Arch-Tempered Rey Day (appears first)
  • Arch-Tempered Uth Duna (appears second)
  • Arch-Tempered Nu Udra (appears third)
  • Arch-Tempered Arkveld (appears fourth)
