Capcom has announced post-release support for Monster Hunter Tri with unique event and arena quests.
Accessible for limited time periods, the online quests will extend the player experience by offering monsters and rewards only available while the quests are open. Successful completion of the online quests allows players to upgrade their weapons and armour with rare items and take them into the standard single-player or multiplayer quests.
A cyclical schedule will see event quests made available multiple times, with updates to be posted on Capcom’s community site, Capcom Unity, on the first Friday of every month.
Event Quests
Up to four players can band together online to complete the Event Quests. The Event Quests offer a variety of challenges on an ongoing basis, cycling monsters of varying difficulty. Aspiring hunters must meet the required hunter rank in order to participate in these quests or work to level up their characters by hunting monsters in either the single player mode or standard online multiplayer mode and attempt to participate when the desired post launch quest appears again. Specialised weapons, including three designed by Capcom’s community members, can only be obtained by participating in Event Quests.
Gigantic Monster Quests
Gigantic Monster Quests, a distinctive event quest, are only available for one day at a time. Pitting players up against the rare and challenging Jhen Mohran, gigantic monster quests find players on a ship as they battle the massive beast, firing cannons to draw the monster close before attacking at closer range with their customized weapons.
Arena Quests
Arena Quests pit two players against solitary monsters in varied coliseums. Hunters work together to take down the specific massive beasts in either a traditional Monster Hunter style or in a time attack style, offering a higher chance of acquiring value rewards based on how quickly the monster is defeated.
Monster Hunter Tri is scheduled for release only on Wii on April 23.
