Monster Hunter Stories 3 lets you tame the monsters that you've spent hundreds of hours farming in the mainline series, but the coolest creatures are endangered species that can only be found in very specific areas.
Some quests will point you to endangered species (and the main story will send you after one or two), but you're on your own if you want the rest of them. If you can take down the invasive monsters guarding these rare eggs, you'll end up with some of the best monsties in the game. Here's where you can find all nine endangered monster species in Monster Hunter Stories 3.
Rathian is the first endangered species you'll encounter in Monster Hunter Stories 3. It's a part of a main story quest, so you can't miss this series staple.
It's located in a den on the eastern edge of Azuria in Sunpetal Plains, guarded by an Invasive Yian Garuga. Break the monster's legs to force it to retreat. Then, claim the Rathian egg once the area is safe.
Lagiacrus can also be found in Azuria. Its den is in a hidden cave in Mirror Lake. Look for disturbed endemic life near the Catavan Stand on the small island in the middle of the lake. Swim north through the narrow channel to reach it.
You'll find an Invasive Plesioth guarding the area. To defeat it, break its head with a hammer. Then, recover the egg.
Astalos is the final endangered species you can find in Azuria. Its den is located in the northwestern corner of Mirror Lake. Use a flying monstie and catch the updrafts to glide to the area with glowing endemic life.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
The den is guarded by an Invasive Seregios. You need a hammer with a skill that hits all enemies to defeat it. When it roars, pay attention to the color. Then, use an AOE hammer skill to win a Head-to-Head and drive it away so you can claim the egg.
The Canyne egg is acquired as a part of the main story. You can find it in the southern part of the Cantalta Timberland.
An Invasive Arzuros is the guardian of this den. To take it down, keep slaying the other monsters it summons until it flees. Then, you're free to take the Canyne egg.
Nargacuga is also located in the Canalta Timberland region. To find it, glide to the southeastern part of Blessing Hill where you'll encounter an Invasive Nerscylla.
