Monster Hunter Rise 3.0 brings the story of the Nintendo Switch title to a close, introducing a bunch of new monsters and Apex variants to the mix in the process. However, many of these new challenges are locked behind high HR (or Hunter Rank) caps. If you’re still working on the core game content, this won’t be a problem: you’ll unlock your HR when you’re done. However, for veteran hunters, here’s how to quickly raise your hunter rank to 100, so you can take on Elder Dragons like Teostra, The Allmother, and Crimson Glow Valstrax.

For the first big part Monster Hunter Rise, the way you increase your hunter rank is different from the way you do it later. Until you reach HR 7, all you need to do is clear enough key quests (as indicated by the Hub and Village counters at the top right of the screen) of the same hunter rank as you. Doing so will hit the first soft cap, blocking you from further increasing your rank. To unlock this first hurdle, all you have to do is complete the HR 7 Urgent Quest which, from the first post-release update, will take you to HR 8.
If you have already completed the last Hub mission of the base game, you will be raised to HR 8 after logging in after the update. Things change a bit here.
Instead of being a mad race to complete a certain number of key quests, from HR 8 onwards, completed quests will award Hunter Rank points and eventually level up your HR over time like a traditional RPG experience bar. Any quests completed before unlocking your HR this way won’t be applied retroactively, so even those who completed a large amount of missions before the update won’t suddenly jump to the next cap once released.
How to jump to a high rank in Monster Hunter Rise
There were often problems Monster hunter games where it’s a bit difficult to separate single and multiplayer mode. Push through the single player game and by the time you move into the multiplayer game, you’ll be forced to fight dozens of monsters that practically melt under your powerful weapons. Working your way through the ranks of single player village missions will automatically jump to HR 4, pushing you past that initial effort and straight into high-ranking multiplayer missions. It’s a time saver!
How to quickly raise your Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Rise

From the first main Monster Hunter Rise update, the HR cap has been raised from HR 7 all the way to HR 20, 30 and 40, with the beloved Elder Dragons Chameleos, Kushala Daora and Teostra greeting you at every major step.
Grinding on HR 20 is not too long a process. Practically every HR 7 mission will increase you by about two whole HRs per run. The number of monsters in the mission doesn’t matter, it’s more a case of the minimum HR requirements of the mission itself. With that in mind, you’re only six missions away from the first soft cap.
If completing six missions is too much for you, you can unlock three new missions from Master Utsushi. Although they appear on the HR 7 page of the Hub menu, each of these quests pits you against three powerful monsters at HR 8. Complete them and you’ll get four full HRs with each clear, turning a six-quest grind into three. You can easily complete this in an hour.
If you’re feeling brave, another way to do it is to jump into the Rampage Quest multiplayer run. While these tend to take longer than standard missions to complete, they give about three HR upgrades per run. Join the run halfway through and you could climb the ranks really fast. Just don’t die and interrupt someone else’s race.
As you hit each HR soft cap (20, 30, and 40), you’ll need to complete a new emergency mission against the returning elder dragon to continue grinding. You’ll instantly get two HRs after completing each of these missions, meaning that depending on which mission you choose, you only need to complete two or four more missions to unlock the next one. The gear made from each new Elder Dragon includes skills that perfectly counter the next beast you’re up against, but because of that, repeated runs against these big baddies will likely be more beneficial than running any other quests right now.
How to Unlock HR 20: Chameleos Weaknesses, Weak Points and Best Gear

- Elements: None (poison)
- Weak to: Dragon, Fire, Thunder
- Weak points: head, belly, hind legs
Chameleos guards the path to HR 30, pinning you to HR 20 until you defeat it. How you do this is up to you; the above methods don’t really change. Polish four standard tasks or two HR 8 if you want to speed things up. If you fought him in the previous one Monster hunter title, throw away what you know. It’s a very different fight now; this lizard is angry.
The secret to defeating the Chameleos lies in negating the heavy poison by any means; Hunting/Palico horns, antidotes, antigoods, whatever you can get your hands on. Learn to read when he’s about to send gas clouds and whether or not he’s going to push them with his wings, and you’ll only have the occasional heavy hit to watch out for.
As problematic as Chameleos’ signature invisibility skill is, it’s not as effective as in past games. Even his item-stealing tongue has been tweaked, now flipping the Petalace buffs you’ve collected during the quest instead.
How To Unlock HR 30: Kushala Daora Weaknesses, Weak Points & Best Gear

- Elements: None (wind)
- Weak to: Thunder, Dragon
- Weak points: head, front legs, tail
At HR 30, Kushala Daora is blocking your HR path. Grab the urgent request to put it on hold. This unlocks the penultimate soft cap, paving the way for HR 40. But that’s easier said than done.
Kushala Daora commands the wind. In addition to throwing out massive tornadoes that can quickly render large swathes of the zone unusable, his wind aura will push attackers away in a crowd, making for a particularly difficult fight.
Fortunately, there are two ways to combat this: the wind resistance skill and the poison status. The former negates the back pressure of his aura, and the latter shuts it down completely while under the affect. Both bounties are easy to come by through a variety of readily available equipment, but the characteristics of Chameleos armor and weapons will make this fight much easier.
How to Unlock HR 40: Teostra’s Weaknesses, Weak Points, and Best Gear
Image used with permission of the copyright holder
- Elements: fire, explosion
- Weak to: Water, Ice
- Weak points: head, wings, tail
Just like Kushal Daora, this deadly elder dragon uses his own aura to make attacking him innately cunning. Teostra uses both Fire and Blast elements, covering himself with the former when enraged to slowly fry nearby hunters, and relying on the latter to coat the zone in clouds of dust that, when he snaps his teeth, explode for heavy area damage.
Although he often chooses to fight on the ground where he rampages, using his weight to knock down hunters around him, Teostra can also use his wings for flight—allowing him to viciously attack with a traveling flamethrower—and even to manipulate his explosive dust by pushing or pulling it. particles to make avoiding the powerful explosion even more difficult than before.
Gear-wise, you don’t need anything special to carry Teostra, but strong fire resistance and anything that boosts your natural recovery can help reduce your dependence on Mega Potions.
However, if you’re looking for some new gear, the best gear to defeat Teostra comes from Kushala Daora and her Kushala Blessing buff. This set increases water and ice damage taken, negates damage from Teostra’s heat aura, and even gives you natural health regeneration that can go beyond the normal red part of the health bar, trivializing one of the hardest fights in the game to date. Completing this quest unlocks your HR completely, allowing you to level all the way up to 999.
How to unlock HR 50: Narwa Allmother weaknesses, weak points and tips

After the MH: Rise 3.0 update at the end of May, the final story quest will become available. This one requires you to hit HR 50 before you can take it, but with a limit of unlocking up to 999 after the previous one, you could already be eligible by the time the update arrives. If not, the same steps apply as before: complete new challenge missions, complete some Rampage tasks, or farm for new equipment. With about two HR boosts per task, you’ll get there in no time. Pack your best Thunder Resistance gear and eat for insurance: It’s going to be a rough ride.
In this final main story hub mission, you’ll have to fight Ibushi—the one you fought in the previous Rampage mission—in the Coral Palace, where you fought Narwa at the end of the launch content. Just use weapons like ballistae and cannons whenever they appear until you take enough damage to see the beast fall to the floor. Don’t try to kill yourself at this point: Narwa, who has been waiting in this second arena, will soon devour the other, becoming the All-Mother and initiating the final battle.
Like last time, Narwa will use bursts of energy to put you out of your misery; either in the form of laser beams spreading around it, large rings that can now spin as they travel, and spherical blasts that are usually thrown between said circles. As before, just stay on the offensive, using the cannons, machine guns, and other tools that pop up periodically to increase your damage by primarily targeting the stomach and head.
Several times during the fight, Narwa will return to the center of the arena: this is your turn to prepare for the biggest attack. The creature will send a number of turrets spinning towards the outer edges of the arena as a large explosion forms beneath it. Wait for the explosion to go off, then use the wire bugs to get back to the boss.
It’s a long and arduous hunt, but if you make sure you keep the supplied Aurorturtle with you to protect yourself from sudden death, you should be able to pull it off. You came this far after all.
How to unlock HR 100 and Crimson Glow Valstrax

With the Allmother defeated and the village finally safe from the rampage, there’s only one thing left to do: Grind to HR 100. While it won’t really advance the story in any way, Monster Hunter often hides a brutal optional boss with its triple-digit ranks behind it. Generations (and others) had Fatalis, World had Ruiner Nergigante (and others), i To get up has Valstrax. This rocket-powered dragon was the main focus of the previous Nintendo Switch exclusive title Monster Hunter Generationsand returned to cause another explosive uproar.
The problem is that HRK 100 is not easy to come by. Despite a bunch of new quests coming with it in the 3.0 update, none of them will offer more than two or three HR boosts per run. If you’ve given up after finishing the last boss of each monthly update, you’ve got a long way to go.
New missions like Apex Diablos and Apex Zinogre could help, but the best approach is to find other reasons to play. Instead of thinking about leveling up, think about hunting to improve your armor sets, grind ornaments, and maybe help out a few friends who have fallen behind. Any quest will get you closer to 100 HR, so just find other reasons to keep grinding.
