Beware the Gypceros is one of the first High Rank side quests youll encounter once youve rolled credits in Monster Hunter Wilds. Not only does it task you with fighting a new monster that wasnt present in the lower ranks, but it asks you to interact with the games weather system.In this Monster Hunter Wilds guide, well walk you through how to start the Beware the Gypceros quest and how to find the Gypceros during Fallow.How to start Beware the Gypceros in Monster Hunter WildsOnce youve finished the main quest and entered High Rank, complete the first main story mission, New Ecosystems. This quest will set you on the path of High Rank, and also give Zatoh a quest for you. Travel to the Kunafa Windsong Village in the Windward Plains, where Zatoh resides, and talk to him (hell be marked on your map). Zatoh will tell you that theres an unfamiliar monster wandering around the Windward Plains that blinded some of the village workers with a bright flash. The villagers arent sure what kind of monster this could be, but the veteran Hunters out there know exactly what Zatoh is describing: Gypceros.The problem is that Gypceros only seems to come out during Fallow, which is the weather condition that causes resources to be more scarce. To hunt this Gypceros and save the village, youll need to wait until Fallow season in the Windward PlainsHow to find Gypceros in the Windward PlainsYou have a few options when it comes to finding Gypceros during Fallow season.First, you can check the Windward Plains map between hunts. Eventually, youll check at the perfect time and find a Gypceros walking around. All you need to do then is hunt it to finish the quest. This adds in an element of luck, but removes any need to care about the games weather system, so its a bit more straightforward especially when there are so many other High Rank side quests to do while you wait.Second, you can just change the weather more on that below in Windward Plains to be Fallow, which should spawn a Gypceros for you to hunt.How to change the weather to FallowTo change the weather to Fallow, head to one of your pop-up tents in the Windward Plains and open the menu that allows you to grill and eat a meal inside your tent. Instead of eating, scroll down the menu to rest. Select the rest option to pull up a menu that will let you change the environment condition and give you a time of day. Select whatever time of day you prefer, but make sure your selected environment says Fallow. Youll then need to pay 300 Guild Points to rest, but you should have plenty at this point plus youll earn 100 back when you complete this quest. When you wake up, it should be Fallow out, and youll be able to find and hunt your Gypceros. Once you reach the Gypceros in Windward Plain, just start attacking it in the wild and youll automatically begin a hunt for it.The Gypceros is a High Rank monster, so you should show it some respect. However, its less lethal and aggressive than many of the other monsters youve fought up to this point. If youd like to go in with counters, try using fire and slicing weapons. Make sure you have antidotes or other items that can heal poison as well.Zatoh location in Monster Hunter WildsWhen you finish hunting Gypceros in the Windward Plains if you kill one on another map it doesnt count for this quest return to Zatoh in Kunafa Windsong Village. Some players have complained that Zatoh isnt in Kunafa Windsong Village when they attempt to turn the quest in. The villagers seem to occasionally disappear from the village. (Its unclear exactly whats happening here, but it could be related to weather or the time of day.) If there are no villagers when you arrive, go rest again and set another time, or restart your game entirely. This should cause all the villagers to return.If you can see that Zatoh is in the village but you cant reach him because hes in a building, just stand nearby and wait for a few minutes. He will (very slowly) make his way out of the building eventually.When you complete Beware the Gypceros, youll earn 100 Guild Points, hunter rank and Palico experience, some Sharp Kunafa Cheese, three Carbalite Ore, and the ability to request material collections from Murtabak.Need help navigating the Forbidden Lands?
