MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD

Hi! ⚠️^{this guide is work in progress}⚠️
This achievement requires a lot of patience, a lot of perseverance and even a bit of luck.
To unlock it, you need only (to be verified??) all gold large crowns of Iceborne's Monsters.
In this new DLC, CAPCOM added 27 monsters: most of them are variants of the basic game, so if you got the old achievement the method at close is the same.

As mentioned by Gutsy Goddess' guide, the achievement also requires you to find the Deviljho's and Lunastra's crowns, previously added with title updates.
Shara Ishvalda has no crowns.
10/10/2019 EDIT: The Rajang's crowns must not be obtained.


WHAT ARE THE CROWNS?
The crowns are awarded when you capture or kill exceptionally large or exceptionally small monsters. The Monster's size is noted as an increase or decrease of 25% in normal tonnage. With the addition of the new DLC Iceborne, there are 56 crowns to find (including those of Devijho and Lunastra): 28 gold mini and 28 gold large. Each monster has 6 possible crown-sizes: 3 mini and 3 large.


WHERE CAN I FIND THE CROWNS?
The crowns can be found in any type of mission: Investigations, Optional, Guiding Lands, Expedition, Arena, SOS and Events (cannot be found in Assigned Quest during the progress of the main story because those have a predetermined size).
The best way is to look for Investigations, more restrictions and better rewards = higher the chance of finding a Monster's Crown.
It is possible that CAPCOM will bring out events, where the probability of obtaining the crowns is much higher than normal.


HOW TO LOOK FOR THE CROWNS?
The best method is the "Crown Sniping":
• Enter a mission;
• Check the Monster's Size (with the help of a ShockTrap and/or Ghillie Mantle);
• Hunt it (Capture it or Kill it) or Quit the mission.
⚠️^{AFTER YOU HUNTED THE MONSTER, DO NOT ABANDON QUEST, IT CANCEL ALL YOU'VE DONE, MAKE SURE YOU USE RETURN FROM QUEST}⚠️
The hardest thing is to figure out if the monster's size is the right one to get the much-desired crown.



Below in detail for each monster there will be images and videos to help identify the crown.

The size of the crowns was taken from me and my group of friends (in alphabetical order: AAC ALIEN, Gottle, ELiTE ll KR0N0S, ERUSEA YELLOW4, iMmOrT4L Sh4DoW, NEVER MIND DIE and Sir Saiyd), but others are missing, if you find a crown, comment with the size you have found and you will be mentioned in the guide.
The videos and images are taken from the YouTube channel Gaming with Abyss, all the merits go to him for it.

My guide for small crowns got negative although i tried to be useful. I cant hand out crown guys , you know?
I am going to give more detail here. So be positive! If you leave a negative lemme know why , i wont get offended.
So lets get back to the matter at hand.
All sniping and measuring methods you were using for base game apply here
I start one by one for each monster
When i say size it means the size when you get the crown for example 1570.20 is the size and by measure i mean the actual size you can measure in the game with your hunter or your eye
All my measurment are based on the leg of the monster unless i mention not.
1.Beotodus : his small crown is smaller than lavasioth and Jyuratodus and his big crown is also smaller but the measurement is quite the same so watch a video guide for lavasioth if you have problem my small crown for him is 1474.79 and the big one is 2060.87
2.Banbaro : he is a new monster and sadly he is no alike any other. For his small crown when i stood behind his leg on a flat surface it would be the same wize as my hunter. And for his big it was like 3 heads above my hunter . His small crown for me is 2116.26 and his big one is 3006.05
3. Viper tobi-kadachi: he is exactly the same as normal tobi kadachi. Just watch a guide on youtube for the right size my smallest : 1170.47 and my biggest is 1560.62
4. Nightshade paolumo: same as normal paolumo watch a guide . Smallest for me is 1017.59 and biggest is 1406
5. Coral pukei pukei : same as the normal pukei pukei . Watch a video. Smallest : 992.21 . Biggest : 1322.94
6. Barioth. He is a new monster and got the same build as tigrex and nargacuga but definitely not the same size. For his big crown when standing behind his leg WITHOUT shock trap he would be a very little higher than my hunter. And for his small crown while standing behind him again WITHOUT trap his joint would be at my chest lvl of my character. Smallest: 1867 biggest :2580.91
7. Nargacuga. Again a new monster.. i cant really get measurement because i got his both crown without even trying. But he is a bit smaller than barioth. Look as his tail and head for a better measurement. Smallest:1684.97 and biggest : 2393.43
8. Glavenus: a new tail balding monster. He has an abnormal size as if he is big everytime u see it because his tail is really long but use his leg for measurement. His small crown for me when i stood behind him in trap his joint would be the same size as my hunter but my hunters head was a bit higher. His big crown my hunters head was below his big spike on his leg and almost the same size as his second small spike. Smallest:2190.73 biggest: 2978.41
9. Tigrex: same body structure as barioth and nargacuga but this one is really diffrebt. Again i got his crown without noticing but i would go for head size. I noticed when he was big his head was not hitting the ground while being knocked down. Smallest : 1710.02 biggest :2429.00
10. Brachydios. A new monster . His small crown would be the same size as your hunter and his biggest one need to be 2 heads higher than your hunters head. Smallest : 1451.19 biggest : 2033.19
11.Acidic glavenus. Bear in mind that he is a tiny bit smaller. Same measurement as glavenus though . He is hard to measure because of his locale. Theres almost no flat area .. smallest :2111.47 biggest 2846.93
12.sheieking legiana : same as legiana but he is a tiny bit bigger in size because of his extra ice coating. Smallest : 1611.89 biggest : 2252.98
13. Fulgar anjanath: same size as anjanath. Watcg a video ok youtube. Smallest:1481.81 biggest : 1992.22
14. Ebony odogaron: same as the normal odogaron . Watcg a guide. Smallest : 1222.10 biggest: 1722.05
15: velkhana. A new eldee dragon for his small crown my hunter would be exact same size as his back leg a tiny bit shorter and for his big one my hunter was 2-heads shorter. Smallest: 2310.48 biggest : 3245.06
16. Seething bazelgeuse : same as the normal bazel. Watch a video. Smallest : 1596.97 biggest : 2391.19
16. Blackveil vaal hazak : same size as the normal vaal watch a video. Smallest : 184395 biggest: 2619.25
17. Namielle. Another new elder dragon. For his amall size i was almost the same size as his leg and for the big one it was a head and a half higher. I would say measuring leg is not a good option and dont get fooled by his cloak because it big either way. His face is a better indication for me. Smallest : 1822.94 biggest : 2539.83
18. Savage deviljho: same measurey as the normal debiljho bit his size is bigger for aome reason for small crown. Smallest 2043.18 biggest : 2497.22
19. Ruiner nergigante : same as the normal nergi. Watch a video. Smallest : 1663.31 biggest: 2291.67
20.zinogre : i got his crown without noticing but his big size is half a head higher than your hunters head. Smallest : 1534.27 biggest: 2161.93
21. Yian garuga : a very abnormal and strange monster in body build. I would go for his tail. If its too short its a small. If its meaty and big its a big one :D smallest: 1222.33 biggest: 1708.48
22. Scarred yian garuga: same as normal yian. Smallest: 1236.22 biggest : 1708.48
23.brute tigrex : same as normal tigrex. Smallest 1748.88 biggest: 2409.57
24. Gold rathian. She was a pain for me for her big crown. So she is the same size as rathian and pink rathian but the problem is that she doesnt have a black stipe on his leg to make measurement easier. What u need to do is that to check if his joined in almost 2.heads higher than your charactee without traps. Smallest: 1543.85 biggest: 2157.88
25. Silver rathalos : his rathian boyfriend :D almost the same size as rathian and the same as azure and normal rathalos . Watcg a video . Smallest 1516.76 biggest: 2130.28
Ok so some extra info i would like to share. There are 10 main size scale in the game. (0.1.2.3.....10) scales between 0 to 0.5 gives small crown and 9.5 to 10 gives big crown. So when looking for crown have that in mind that there is a small chance that u may get crown although you are a bit smaller than the video guiide or my measurement.
All base game monsters crown are needed for this achievemnt
. The 4 last monsters will be unlocked via guiding land. You need to hit 6 in each region for them to spwan
Scarred yian garuga is for ancient forest
Gold rathian is wildapire waste
Silver rath is coral and brute tigrex is rotten vale.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask

tl;dr: All missions (except Assignments) in Iceborne have the same base chance to spawn Crowns. Use MR Arenas while stationed at the Research Base to quickly/efficiently farm the ones you want. If you don’t get the crown, quit out of the game at the result screen to keep the Arena. For monsters that don’t have arenas, use Optional or Event quests for easy access.

Jek and Gutsy’s guides on size are both excellent and helped me out a lot, but I wanted to add a guide on farming the crowns themselves, since there’s a lot of confusion and superstition about what makes them spawn. The consensus that high level investigations yield more crowns is wrong. This has ALWAYS been a rabbits foot in the MHW community. Where investigations were the only way to get them in the base game, those that had low rewards always had as much chance as high ones. But in Iceborne as I’m sure most of you know, you can get them in any mission that isn’t a story quest (known as Assignments).

In my experience, Investigations (along with other quests that aren’t Assignments) all have the same base chance to spawn crowns, so that means whatever you can load fastest will be your best bet.

For most of the monsters, the MR Arenas are the best to farm because you can jump in and out of them very quickly, especially if you are stationed at the Research Base. This allows you load between the base and arena quickly, meaning more spawns which statistically leads to a faster chance to see a rare crown spawn. The flat ground allows you measure monsters with ease, and the traps and lack of space for them to run means you can kill them faster. These tend to randomly appear once you’ve captured a monster, but you can catch them early if you see them in an SOS. As long you don’t complete these quests, they stay in your log forever. If you do beat them, they come back randomly every 3-4 missions you complete, and stick around for 1-2 missions before disappearing again.

The best way to farm these is to save your game when you have one, and keep loading in and out until you think you might have a size you want. If you don’t get it, at the screen where it shows your ranks and the crown size, DO NOT PRESS A, instead exit out of the game and you’ll keep your Arena.

I got almost all of my crowns this way, except for a few monsters that don’t spawn in them like Elders, Beotodus, Shrieking Legiana, and Scarred Yian. For these, use either Optional Quests or Weekly Events that appear, as those are free chances to check monster sizes without having to grab footprints for investigations.

Here is the calendar to help you see upcoming events to help you plan around farming Monsters that do not appear in Arena.

Good luck guys and please know at the end of the day, this is down to RNG. My guide is for the sole purpose of efficiency. People will always experience different luck. And please do not hesitate to ask me questions or let me know if I’ve left anything out.

Hello everyone, for those that want to save time searching for crowns with small or big, you can choose the next events:

Yodeling in the Forest
Heavy Metal in the Waste
Symphony of the Coral
Rotten Canzone
Ballad of the Hoarfrost

This events have a 100% chance to have at least 1 crown, when I did this events, I managed to obtain between 10 and 15 in a couple of days, here is a clip where after the event I was surprised that I got 3 crowns in a row



This only works with some monsters because this events don't contain elder monsters, those monsters need to be farmed either in other events or investigations.

Dont' know how much time this events are going to stay, so I suggest to hurry up.

Good hunt everyone
