Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Follower Collab Quests Guide

The Monster Hunter franchise has offered limited NPC help in the form of Palicos (and Palamutes in Rise). However, with the introduction of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak's Follower Collab Quests, you now have the chance to hang out with NPCs that have the same abilities as you. In our Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Follower Collab Quests Guide, we'll go over everything you need to know about this new system, along with its rewards.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - How to Unlock Follower Collab Quests

Follower Collab Quests are not available from the start of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, though you thankfully wont have to wait long before they start to unlock. Your first taste of this system will happen after the MR2 urgent quest "Scarlet Tengu in the Shrine Ruins". After this quest is over, you'll start to see pink dialogue bubbles above NPCs that have new Follow Collab Quests for you.

You'll slowly unlock more Follower Collab Quests as the main story progresses, with these quests being split into two categories. Follower Quests are the ones received directly from NPCs. These have set NPC requirements, and do not allow you to chance their weapons. Support Surveys on the other hand allow you to pick up to 2 NPCs of your choice (that you have unlocked for this mode anyway), with more automatically being unlocked when urgent quests are completed. As a side note, completed Follower Quests will turn up in the Support Survey list after being completed, removing the set NPC requirement.

Completing Follower Quests will unlock new weapons and armor, along with more NPCs to chose from during Support Surveys. Followers in Support Surveys also have different weapons that they can use, though most are limited to 3-5 choices.

Now, we'll go over every Follower Quest, along with their unlock requirements and potential rewards.
