How to unlock the Monster Hunter achievement in MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD - Definitive Guide

This will come in time....but, if you're looking for the easiest solution, but most boring, then choose investigations/quests/expeditions/events (using the current events where you hunt the 5 creatures in an area allows you to hunt the same monster over and over again makes this easier) for the Great Jagras and start at the first camp, run out into the field and left to the opening with the honey. The Great Jagras will always come here first (if you attack him right away he will run back into the enclosed area with smaller Jagras, if you let him walk for a bit he will run out into the field). Kill him and then hit Start (3 lines) and go to the second option and Return from Quest. NEVER choose Abandon.

Edit: To add to this, doing hunts for multiple monsters also gives each monster less health, so it's definitely faster to rack up monsters on great hunts with as many monsters as possible. - TheBigBB

OK...so the real reason I posted this is to let everyone know there is a way to check on your total monster kill progress.

Go to your Xbox Achievement screen (hit the Home button, go to the achievement slide and choose "See all my achievements". Choose Monster Hunter: World and on the left you will see "Achievements" and "Stats". Select "Stats" and you should have a tile that says "Large Monsters Hunted"

Edit 4/24/18: The numbers for Large Monsters Hunted, SOS, and Hunter Rank are all currently mixed up. If you're close to 500, you should still be able to tell where your progress is compared to the others.

The way mine are mixed up are:

Hunter Rank is Large Monsters Hunted
Large Monsters Hunted is SOS Quests
SOS Quests is Hunter Rank

I can definitely say that it does unlock when that stat tracker hits 500 as I unlocked it last night.

Anyone else's stats messed up now? Mine seems to have swapped labels, so it says I have 320 hunter rank (which is how many monsters I've killed - I'm only HR 67).

The labels on these stats are definitely messed up. Mine says Hunter Rank 386, Large Monsters Hunted is 160, and 70 SOS missions. I'm HR 70.

Yeah, mine is messed up as well. Large Monsters Hunted, SOS, and Hunter Rank are all switched. Hopefully this is something they will fix. If you feel you're pretty close to 500 at least you should be able to tell where you are at.

I’ve killed like 10 giant Jargas and a few other large monsters. On my Xbox app smart glass it still shows Large Monsters killed: 0.

What gives? I’m thinking it’s the super giant monster maybe end game?

Someone please clarify what is defined Large Monster?

As long as everything still works like it used to once you start getting much higher in the numbers killed you’ll definitely be able to tell.

I just noticed you can go to your Monster Guide in menu and look at all the Large monsters count of kills and captures. Just have to do some math.

Captures also count under the kill count, don't forget about those.

I also just checked my console and my Hunter Rank is showing 740, while SOS is showing 97, and Large Monsters is showing 64.

So, it's switched like:

Hunter Rank is Large Monsters Hunted
Large Monsters Hunted is SOS Quests
SOS Quests is Hunter Rank

I just added all my kills and captures up from the Guild card and I am at 521 and no achievement. (well Trophy... I'm playing on PS4 but the truetrophies site is void of solutions.)

Always a chance I could be wrong about captures, but from what I remember they counted.

I was also thinking maybe elders don't count since they are "elders" and maybe not "large monsters". So when I subtracted out all the elders I was at 496. I just killed 4 monsters and still didn't get it. If I add the elders back in and subtract all captures, I'm sitting at 395 right now. Guess I'll see what happens. Seems like captures should count.

Mine popped right as I hit 500 (which included Elders, captures, and kills) on the Xbox achievement page. I can't remember, but does PS4 have a tracker or any sort of stats?

Really wish they would have included achievement tracking for this game.

Have you checked on the Xbox itself and not on smartglass? I never tested it there, but it was definitely working by checking the achievement page on the console itself. It's also possible that that Capcom screwed something up. A few weeks ago all the stats for SOS, Large Monster kills, and Hunter Rank were all switched. Check the other stats (even on Smartglass) because you could be seeing 0 SOS if you haven't done any of those yet. .

Large Monster kills are definitely any main monster that ends a mission and you can capture.

This will come on your grind to reach Hunter Rank 100 and acquire all the Giant/Mini Crowns. See HERE for a list of all "large (big)" monsters that count for this achievement.

All you need to know about this trophy is that I received a similar trophy for 100 monsters at the 90th hour of the game. Yes, farming weak low-rank monsters is real, but given the load, it still takes at least 5 minutes for each person, and there’s nothing to say about the dullness of this activity.

There is no point in worrying about the trophy since you have to catch 50, 50 in the arena and another 50 ancient dragons, i.e. 150 minimum, but given the crowns and the full research level, you will have to hunt down about 600 =
