Retired hunter

Pokke Village. 131 lines, in the order the game keeps them.

The first thing you must do is have a chat with the Village Chief. You aren't just in the service of the village, you are also in her service too.
You'll find that living in Pokke Village is quite easy. I'm not from here either, but I've decided to stay here when I retire.
If there is anything you don't understand about a hunter's lifestyle, feel free to ask me. I'll help you as much as I can.
My first piece of advice is to go have a chat with the Village Chief.
Taking care of yourself? You look alright to me, but be careful not to overdo it. You've almost mastered all of the easy Quests, I guess.
You wouldn't happen to know the name of the kind of monster that attacked you on the way to this village, would you?
I didn't think you did! I don't even think the Guild has much information about the beast. I just found out about it recently myself!
Apparently the wyvern is known as a Tigrex. It doesn't appear to live in the Snowy Mountains, but has just been visiting them to prey on Popos.
Its legendary tiger-like roar and tyrannical behavior earned the Tigrex its fearsome name.
Be careful. There may be many mysteries surrounding the Tigrex, but its brutality is without question. You know, I once...
...Forget it. Anyways, be extremely careful if you head to the Snowy Mountains.
Reports say that its characteristic wings date it as a predecessor to modern wyverns... But hunters have better things to worry about.
The thing we care about is the fact that it is an extremely brutal wyvern. Be very careful if you think you may encounter a Tigrex.
How have you been lately? I'm sure the old Village Chief has been giving you some hard Quests to try, right?
Is your money holding out? Money is critical when it comes to equipment. Hah! Don't be looking at me for a handout! I'm retired and need my savings!
When you need to save some money, it is best to gather up Account Items. They're useful to the Guild, and thus will earn you very high prices.
The Guild values these items so greatly that they have even begun to accept them during a Quest. Just take the Account Items to your red Delivery Box.
You can also deliver items such as Eggs or Ores. They command a high price, and can also net a plethora of Pokke Points.
Treasures such as these are rare, and you have to deliver them properly, so it won't be easy... But it's worth the effort.
The Guild values Account Items so greatly that they have begun accepting delivery during a Quest. Just take them to the Delivery Box.
Items like Eggs or Ores can also be delivered. Don't know how to carry an Egg? Talk to the esteemed instructor at the Training School.
You seem to be working very hard... Don't forget, everyone has high hopes for you. The security of this village rests on your shoulders.
When I was in your shoes, I drove off a Blangonga who tried to mark off the Snowy Mountains as its territory.
Another thing to mention about the mountains is their topography makes escape easy. Just climb up and be free of your troubles...
Not that I think you'll have any need to flee... However, rumor has it that people have heard a Blangonga's roar nearby.
The Blangonga must've caught wind of my retirement and decided to return... You just need to make sure its thugs don't pose too much of a problem.
You are strong enough now that the Blangonga will recognize your power and rethink its plan, knowing you are not to be trifled with.
When I was in your shoes, I drove off a Blangonga into the cliffs above the Snowy Mountains.
I think the Blangonga may return, but I'm sure one look at you will scare it off for good.
You drove off that Blangonga without a hitch. Now that beast knows better than to show its face in the mountains. I had faith in you the whole time.
However, lately I've heard rumors that something is amiss. Something to do with the wyvern that attacked you, the Tigrex.
It seems he was once again spotted in the Snowy Mountains. I don't know the details, but I would get ready for a Quest from the Chief.
The Tigrex is a tough nut to crack... In fact, it drove me into retirement. Its strong jaws and claws made me vow to never grip a sword again.
There is no place for negligence when fighting a Tigrex. Keep in mind there is more that we don't know about it than we do.
A Tigrex has been spotted in the Snowy Mountains. I expect there to be a Quest from the Village Chief soon, so prepare yourself!
Its strong jaws and claws are both powerful weapons. Powerful enough to force me into retirement.
You... You slayed the Tigrex. I didn't think you'd be able to get rid of that scourge for the life of me!
Now, thanks to you, I can enjoy retirement without having to worry about the one that got away.
Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I figured you would be the one to get rid of the Tigrex.
Huh? Oh yeah... The first time I laid eyes on you, you were face down in the snow because a Tigrex attacked you.
Heh... Nonetheless, now I can enjoy retirement with my heart at ease. Thank you.
Working your way up the ranks as a hunter, huh? Well, perhaps you'd like to face the powerful Rathalos and Rathian as your next opponents?
It seems that you've caught the attention of the Guild. If something happens in town, I have a feeling they will come to you for help.
So you've made a name for yourself with the Guild...? I'm sure you know that you can take their Quests from a counter in the Gathering Hall.
Compared to the Village Chief's Quests, they are much more difficult, but you are strong enough to handle them alone.
If you want to try your hand at a high ranking Quest, there is no better place to go to make yourself known than the Gathering Hall.
Compared to the Village Chief's Quests, the ones from the Gathering Hall are more difficult, but you should be strong enough to handle them.
If you want to try your hand at high ranking Quests, try grabbing the attention of the Guild first.
It seems you've worked your way up to taking High Rank Quests. Absolutely wonderful! Even I can't do things like that!
On a High Rank Quest, you will face much more powerful opponents. Now, preparation is even more important than ever!
High ranking Quests also allow you to get valuable items... The sorts of items that have words like "plus" or "hard" attached to their names.
I suppose you won't really understand until you get your hands on these items yourself. You know, I've never actually done that myself...
On a high ranking Quest, the high risk of fighting strong opponents is balanced by the plethora of valuable rewards.
You can earn the kinds of items that have words like "plus" or "hard" attached to their names... If you catch my drift.
Did you hear? An incredibly brutal wyvern has appeared. I'm betting that the Guild has a request for you to slay it.
I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous of you. It is not often that a hunter has a chance to go after a completely unknown monster.
To be completely honest, when I was in your shoes, no one ever gave me requests like the ones you get.
My advice is to obtain as much high-end armor strengthening materials as possible and aim for slaying an elder dragon on a High Rank Quest.
Which leads me to this juicy tidbit of knowledge. I hear that slaying a monster gets you more materials than simply repelling it.
Slaying a monster is a better way to obtain these materials than simply repelling it. Trust in your armor, and do your best!
I'd like to congratulate you on slaying the fabled Akantor. Quite an accomplishment.
Did you get any of its materials? What are they like? I figure they must be incredibly valuable and of extremely high quality.
One of the greatest things about being a hunter is the excitement of what can be crafted from new monsters or materials.
A completely unknown wyvern... Even though I'm retired, I just can't get the excitement of something like that out of my system.
I wonder what kind of equipment you can make from an Akantor's materials?
One of the best parts of being a hunter is the excitement of what can be crafted from new monsters or materials. I miss it now that I'm retired.
Ahh... You're awake? How are you? Still in pain? Hmm... It seems you are alright...
I found you collapsed on a cliff in the mountains. If I would have left you there, you'd be nothing but an ice cube by now. Thank me later...
Oh! How rude of me! Allow me to introduce myself. I am the hunter attached to this village... Or at least I used to be.
A wyvern attacked and injured me, forcing me into retirement. That is why we sent for you. You were to become my replacement.
Which left me in a jam when you collapsed up in the Snowy Mountains. I had no idea what I should do...
A new village with new things... I'm sure you have plenty of Questions to ask. I'm here to answer as many as I can.
I know it isn't much, but I'd like to give you a present. The old equipment I used when I was a hunter. Take a look inside your Item Box when you get home.
I wasn't sure what kind of weapon you use, so I put lots of different kinds in your Item Box. They aren't great, but they should come in handy.
If nothing really strikes you as perfect, I recommend starting with the Sword. Keep using it until you get used to being a hunter.
By the way, I put your clothes in the Item Box. What you've got on now is fine for the village, but put on your real clothes when venturing out.
They're great against the cold, so don't forget them if you go to the mountains. If you use other armor, bring items like a Hot Drink versus the cold.
Ahh... You're awake.
No no... You shouldn't get up yet. It's best if you rest for just a little while longer.
You fell from a cliff, but the snow must have cushioned your fall. You were bruised and suffered a bit of frostbite, so recovery will take a few days.
I'm not so much worried about the bruise on your back as much as the bruise to your ego...
You are definitely going to need some extra days of rest!
I used to be the hunter attached to Pokke Village. If there is something that is befuddling you, feel free to ask me.
Oh, hey! Doing well, I hope. That's good, that's good.
Say, have you ever heard of "Epic Hunting Quests"?
It's this new kind of hunting quest the Guild created where you go to locales with a lot of monsters and defeat them all one after another and...
*ahem* Anyway, it's basically a quest where you defeat the monsters that appear one by one.
Special measures have been taken to ensure monster variety, but since it's super hard, only high-ranked hunters can sign up.
With your strength, I bet you could handle them, though. If you are ever offered a chance to take one on, I say go for it and give it a try!
One big thing to keep in mind, though, is when you go to carve the monsters up, the materials you receive will be exchanged for recovery items.
Now, I know it takes a lot of materials to prepare for such an epic quest, so I know you wish you could receive materials in return.
But you don't want to have to worry about what to sacrifice when you go to carve up that first monster, whether it be shells or traps... So, don't!
Just don't worry about it. Any materials you get out of them will be given to you at the end with your Rewards. The same goes with when you capture.
If you want to know more, you can always read about it in the Guild's Info Magazine. There should be one on your bookshelf, so be sure to check it out!
Hey, how are you feeling, Hero? You're the hero of Pokke Village for defeating the Akantor, you know!
With your skills, new areas have opened up for you to hunt in. Plus, you can now take on the most difficult quests yet...
But fear not! I'll be here for you! And I'll gladly dispense advice to you whenever you need some!
...Is what I wish I could do for you, but to be honest, these quests weren't around when I was active, so I don't know all that much.
But don't worry! I'm sure with my vast wealth of experience and keen insight, I can still give you some of the most relevant advice ever!
To be honest, these quests weren't around when I was active, so I don't know all that much.
But I was once a very famous hunter, known throughout the land!
So I'm sure that with my vast wealth of experience and keen insight, I can still give you some of the most relevant advice ever!
Sounds like you're just as active as ever. I keep up with the gossip, don't you worry.
Well, I've been busy, too. While you were out, I managed to round up all sorts of information. Just take a listen to this!
Let's see... Oh! Have you heard about the floating dragon, the "Yama Tsukami"?
Supposedly, just as with the Lao-Shan Lung and the Shen Gaoren, the Anti-Dragon Bomb that the Guild developed is pretty effective.
But to use it, you have to jump right onto the monster and throw it onto it... It's very dangerous to use, but also very effective.
The question is, how does one jump onto a creature that floats? I suppose you'll just have to see what advantages your surroundings affords.
The Guild-developed Anti-Dragon Bomb is effective against the floating dragon, the Yama Tsukami, I hear.
To use it, you have to jump onto it and mount a direct assault... It's dangerous, but effective. If you've got the courage, give it a try!
The Yama Tsukami has finally met its match, huh? I always knew you could do it!
Incidentally, I've got some top-secret info for your ears only. Just get a load of this.
So they say that there are a few skills that actually combine the effects of several other skills! They're known as "Compound Skills".
Supposedly, there's a single skill that when activated, will negate Poison, Paralysis, Sleep, and Faint, all in one go! It's like a dream come true!
I mean, what kind of armor must this skill be on...?? As a hunter, I would love to see it with my own two eyes at least once in my lifetime!
Supposedly, when it's activated, it negates Poison, Paralysis, Sleep, and Faint, all in one go! Ah, I'd love to see that just once in my lifetime!
I can't believe that such a large monster still exists in this neck of the woods...
According to Guild analysis, the Ukanlos is an even more dangerous monster than the Akantor.
If something like that were to come down from the mountains... our little village may be wiped out...
Argh!! I'm so ashamed that there's nothing I can do to help at a time like this!
I see. So you've decided to battle the Ukanlos. I suppose if I were in your shoes, I'd do the same.
Just keep in mind that no one really knows anything about it. The only thing we know is that it is frightfully powerful.
But also never forget that it's a living being, and as we all know, there's no such thing as an immortal monster.
Combine the power of your brain and brawn together and you're sure to win. I believe in you, so you'd better believe in you, too!
Looks like the danger has passed.
While you were gone up in the mountains, the Guild members took up their arms and actually came around to evacuate us because of the danger.
However, not a single person, including me, left the village. You want to know the reason why?
Cause we all believed from the bottom of our hearts that a hunter of your strength would protect us. And because Pokke Village means so much to us.
*ahem* Sorry, didn't mean to get so sentimental there. What I meant to say was...
We need a hunter like you in this village. No, not "like you", we need "you"! I hope you will continue to live in our fine village for years to come!
You are our hero! This village is forever in your debt!
