Training School

The Training School is devoted to honing ones skills in a non-lethal manner, which is designed to either familiarize hunters with the game or to provide a challenge. It is located within the villages in Monster Hunter Freedom, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Each Training Quest is free of charge and doesn't use any of your items or equipment and instead they are preset. In MHF2/U, you receive rewards for completion in the form of tickets, coins and Expand Pickaxes as well as special equipment that cannot be found otherwise. By completing 1 weapon in Battle Training, you can then unlock Fatalis (which can be repelled!) as a HR6 quest without downloading.

The method for unlocking:

• MHF - Slay a Yian Kut-Ku for the first time.
• MHF2/U - Available at the beginning of the game, however you may only do the Beginner Training.

In MHF2, the method for unlocking the majority of the training quests is simply encountering the monster in question. You do not have to defeat it for the training session to become available.

Beginner Training

Beginner Training is available right away. It is best played at the beginning of the game for anyone to re-learn hunting, and to get some cash on hand.

Broken into 2 main sections:

1. Basic practice is designed to familiarize the player with the mechanics of gathering and hunting.
2. Weapons usage allows the player to practice with the 11 weapon types available to the hunter.

Solo Training

How to unlock:

Group Training

Group Training is where multiple hunters may try to conquer their foes and get the best time. While they may be completed alone, it is recommended you try it with other hunters as the Group Training are slightly harder than Solo Training.
