    These are all the subquests and companion side stories in Monster Hunter Stories 3. The list does not consist of all the companions since it is a work in progress. At the start of the game, you get access to five of the aforementioned characters.

    To make progress, you can finish their side stories to gain upgrades and improve the characters. After finishing the opening portion of the first arc, you will unlock the sixth character, and after unlocking the second region in the game, you should be able to unlock a seventh member of the cast of characters.

    That being said, this is all you need to know about all the sidequests and subquests in the game and their rewards.
