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 the mini 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 is the same.

As mentioned by Gutsy Goddess' guide, the achievement requires you to find also 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 are NOT required for the Achievement.


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% of normal tonnage. With the addition of the new DLC Iceborne, there are 56 crowns to find (including those of Deviljho and Lunastra): 28 gold mini and 28 gold large. Each monster has 6 possible crown-sizes: 3 mini and 3 large (+ 4 ♛ Silver Large Crowns).

^{Inside the spoiler, below, there is a} QUICK LIST, ^{which shows the size of the largest mini crown and the smallest large crown of all monsters.}

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 standard size).
The best way is to look for Investigations: more restrictions and better rewards = higher chance of finding a Crown of a Monster.
⚠️It is possible that CAPCOM^® will release 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":
• Start the chosen Investigation;
• Check the size of one or more monsters (with the help of a ShockTrap and/or Ghillie Mantle);
• Hunt it (Capture it or Kill it), if it convinces you or Abandon Quest, if it doesn't.
⚠️^{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.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ ADVANCED TIPS ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 👑 !!!VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Below, in detail for each monster, there will be images and videos for help to identify the crown-size monster.

Every method you used for crown sniping in the base game apply here.
Since im the first to get it without any available video guide or even text guide on sites i would like to share some tips
.1.many of the monsters are just a variant of the base game . For example crowns for ebony odogaron is the same size as the norma odogaron. Some monsters are diffrent in size. Sheriking legiana is bigger than norma legiana.
2.Nargacuga, tigrex and barioth all have the same body build but the sizes are diffrent. For example a big tigrex is almost the same as a small barioth.
***All base game monsters are required for this achievement. That means you need to earn both crowns for lunastra and norma deviljho.
***All 4 secret unlockable monsters are required . That means u need silver rathalos, gold rathian,scarred yian garuga and brute tigrex.
If you have any more questions plz lemme know in the comments

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 always felt off to me, like it was 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 wither 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
