To get this mission, open your map and put your cursor over the “Hoarfrost Reach” region. In the “Field Researchers” section, on the right, you will either see the Endemic Life Researcher or the Piscine Researcher ( picture1 ). If the Endemic Life Researcher is accessible, go to the Hoarfrost Reach in Expedition Mode and go north of the Area 2, at the intersection of the Areas 5 and 4 ( picture2 ).

Enter the cave and go down to the very bottom of the area to chat with the Endemic Life Researcher ( picture3 ). The lady will ask you to capture three Duffel Penguins ( picture4 ). Advice: equip yourself with the Ghillie Mantle so that you are not spotted by the animals you will have to capture. After you have obtained your secret mission, go to the Area 7 of the Hoarfrost Reach.

Endemic Life Researcher’s 1st Mission in Hoarfrost Reach:

Many Duffel Penguins will be found near the edge of the cliff ( picture5 ). Take out your net and throw it several times on the animals to catch them. If you ever run out of penguins, leave the area and come back a few minutes later to make them reappear. After capturing three of them, return to the HQ and talk with the Resource Center to validate your mission and obtain a Sublime First Wyverian Print ( picture6 ).

Endemic Life Researcher’s 2nd Mission in Hoarfrost Reach:

Go back to the Endemic Life Researcher, talk for the second time with her, and she’ll ask you to bring her a Golden Crown Duffel Penguin. Go to Hoarfrost Reach at night, when there is a blizzard. Then go to one of the many areas where there are Duffel Penguins, such as north of the Camp 12 ( picture7 ). As a reward, you will get an Angler Fish Lamp ( picture8 ).

Endemic Life Researcher’s 3rd Mission in Hoarfrost Reach:

Finally, the Endemic Life Researcher will ask you to capture the rarest terrestrial animal in the Hoarfrost Reach. Teleport to Camp n°1, and then head west to the hot spring in the Area 2 ( picture9 ). If you do not see a Goldspring Macaque in the center of the spring, leave the area and come back a few minutes later. You will have a small chance to see a Goldspring Macaque appear ( picture10 ). When this is the case, equip yourself with your Ghillie Mantle so that you won’t be noticed and capture it.

Nekker is an Endemic Life creature in Monster Hunter World (MHW) . The Nekker was added with patch 6.0 as part of the collaboration with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt .

I wonder if what the Witcher said was true... Do Nekkers really grow vicious when in a swarm? I think there's a place where we can test this...

Nekker Location

You can find Nekker in:

• Ancient Forest : Only available at NIGHTIME, comes to feed off a Great Jagras near its nest.
• You must have completed Contract: Trouble in the Ancient Forest , and you must talk to the Resource Center to obtain a Critical bounty (Research Help: Creature Capture)

How to Capture the Nekker

Firstly, check your hunter’s notebook under unclassified life to find the Nekker entry. It will imply that the Nekker is not hunting and instead is foraging in Ancient Forest after dark. The best way to get all the right conditions is by undertaking the Optional Quest: Hard to Swallow . Taking this quest will check off the 3 conditions we need:

• Quest/Expedition in the Ancient Forest
• A Great Jagras

Proceed taking quests and leaving from them until you get a dusk time (sunset). Start a Hard to Swallow then go back to Astera until it hits night time. Leave your Palico behind for precaution and make sure you bring your Ghillie Mantle . Select Camp 1 and start the quest. Head to Quadrant 1 and wait for the Great Jagras to come to the area. Leave him be allowing him to eat and grow fat.

Stalk the Great Jagras from a distance as he head back to his nest. Put on your Ghillie mantle and stay near the entrance of the nest and gaze upon the Great Jagras puking up some meat for the Jagras. The Nekker should also spawn in and rush over to the wet meat greedily eating. Capture him with the Capture Net and complete the quest.

Nekker Capturing Rewards

You can capture Nekker by using the infinite item "capture net" then aiming for the creature with the control's trigger and pressing Square on your controller when the outline of the frame turns orange.

• House placing : Carpet, Floor, Hearth, Garden
• Other rewards : 800 Research Points, Nekker Card (Weapon) x1, Nekker Card (Armor) x1

Nekker Notes

• Check out The Witcher 3 Nekker version.
• "A creature from another world. A lone nekker is harmless, but five are dangerous... Or so they say."
• Sizes: 156.89 (Fix Size)

 Video Guide

• Nekker Location Guide

A low rank expedition during night when there's a great jagras on the map will guarantee a spawn

BTW if you have exhausted the zoologists dialogue, the woman by the dead anjoranth and defeated the leshen and the nekkar still doesn't appear. Go talk to your researcher first, especially if you're already in Seliana, go to the researcher in Seliana it should show a ! in your map for the bounty. Then a nekkar should appear if you try again, and to make sure check hunters notes > endemic life > unclassified. nekker wasn't there for me until I got the bounty, hopefully this helps someone!

When it was night and raining in ancient forest,I was doing the quest "hard to swallow" then when the great jagras gave food to the jagras there was no nekker around.

instead of a nekker it spawns in a metiorite

If anyone still has issues getting the nekker to spawn even after following the instructions like i did, run past the great jagras as he leaves the nest and kill all the smaller jagras in the nest. The nekker should spawn as said when the great one comes back and pukes up some meat.

for those who dont know how to get the critical bounty, you have to speak to the female researcher which is studying the dead apthonoth there is optional dialog in which she refers to a small nekker being sited in the vicinity which she says she will refer to the hunter. after reading that dialogue make sure you complete the quest and once you are in Astera the critical bounty should appear at the resource center! sorry for the long winded answer.

Ok I have the bounty and follow all the instructions so why doesn't the Nekker even turn up?

Placing down 2 or more nekkers in your room will make them more aggressive and swarm you

There's no bounty, for me.

For some reason the critical bounty isn't showing up for me :/

similar to the one before me, but I've done the quest and one subquest for the witcher hunt, captured a Nekker, but never had the critical bounty bit. Is Xbox Glitched or something?

anyone knows how to obtain ng critical bounty Research Help: Creature Capture? I've completed the witcher quest with all the side quests but the bounty doesn't show up at all.

I wonder where you can go to test the swarming vicious nekker comment in the Researcher's Notes. Seems like either a hint about the Event Quest next week or something else that was added and not really found yet

You dont need all side quests for contract
