In Monster Hunter World, the event schedule for March 2018 has recently been released. Among them is an event quest that looks quite suspicious. Some fans suspect that this event is a sign of the first DLC monster: Deviljho.
Monster Hunter World regularly offers special event quests, where hunters receive new challenges and extra rewards. Capcom recently announced the first events for March 2018.
There is an event that raised eyebrows among many players:
“A Simple Task” – Deliver 10 Gourmet Mushroom Caps
The event doesn’t sound too difficult at first. Hunters just need to take a stroll through the Ancient Forest and collect 10 mushrooms. What a pleasant break between monster hunting! Or is it not?
The requirement and difficulty of the quest definitely do not look like a nice walk in the woods! “A Simple Task” requires Hunter Rank 30 and is marked with a difficulty of 9 stars. The difficulty of a quest in Monster Hunter World is measured in stars, and star level 9 is currently the highest quest available.
Anyone who has reached Hunter Rank 30 is already in the current endgame of Monster Hunter World and fights against tempered monsters.
So why is a simple collection and delivery task set with such high requirements?
Fans Suspect: First DLC Monster Deviljho Will Surprise Hunters Here
That something is not right with the “simple task” has not gone unnoticed by many fans. On Reddit, a user mhunterhcump posted an interesting theory about this quest. He suspects that the Deviljho will surprise players during the mushroom hunt.
Who is Deviljho?
Deviljho, also known as Demonjho in German, is a Brute Wyvern. This carnivore is always hungry and has been observed eating its own kind.
Although Deviljho appears to be a cold-blooded reptile, these monsters have a high body temperature and therefore a high energy consumption. That is why they are constantly looking for food and even kill mass amounts of monsters. Deviljho rank high in the food chain and should be tackled by experienced hunters.
Among fans, Deviljho is also referred to as the Spicy Pickle due to its appearance.
Why Deviljho could be behind the event quest “A Simple Task” is explained by the Redditor as follows:
- The requirements for the quest are too high for a simple collection task
- Deviljho has the reputation of appearing when hunters least expect it
- Deviljho was announced as the first DLC monster for Spring 2018
- In the first teaser video of the monster, Deviljho is seen in the Ancient Forest. This is also where the event quest will take place.
The Start of the Event Quest Could Counter the Fan Theory
There is one factor that could speak against the theory, and that is the date. The start of the event “A Simple Task” is scheduled for March 9. However, Spring 2018 officially begins on March 20, and Deviljho is slated for Spring.
It is very likely that a strong monster will disturb the collection trip. However, it could be any strong monster from Monster Hunter World. Here we have a list of all monsters along with their materials and locations. It could just as well be the Bazelgeuse that has a tendency to disrupt and surprise players in any area of the map.
What do you think is behind this suspicious event quest? Do you also believe it’s Deviljho or do you think of other monsters?
