Unlocking the Legendary Beast in MHW
To unlock the legendary beast in Monster Hunter World (MHW), you must first complete the Special Assignment “Visitor from Another World”, which pits you against a giant Kulu-Ya-Ku, and then accept the Special Assignment “The Legendary Beast”, which requires you to ward off the behemoth. By completing these assignments and reaching Hunter Rank 16, you will gain access to “He Taketh it With His Eyes” and unlock the Legendary Beasts Quest, the primary way of catching the Legendary Pokémon Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.
