Help Hope forge an alliance with The Elites by completing her quests in Fortnite

To complete the help Hope forge an alliance with The Elites by completing her quests mission, you need to successfully tackle six tasks in her quest series. There are more than six missions available to tackle, but you only need six done to progress. This is the main goal of this quest series, and you can only move on once it’s been met.

In total, Hope’s quest series has 10 missions available for you to complete, plus one final task that unlocks once the main goal has been reached. Here are all of the quests you can work through and what needs to be done for each one.

Quest	How to complete
Help Hope forge an alliance with The Elites by completing her quests.	Finish six missions in Hope’s quest series.
Scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse.	Visit The Basement Landmark location once. This small building can be found south of Clawsy Lodge, west of Painted Palms, east of Wonkeeland, and north of Lethal Labs.
Collect food items to demonstrate your survival skills.	Find and pick up three food items. They can be looted from Produce Boxes around the island.
Land from the bus at Clawsy Lodge and Bumpy Bay to survey them for shard distortion.	Land at both Clawsy Lodge and Bumpy Bay straight from the battle bus. This quest must be completed over two rounds, as you can only land at one spot per match.
Eliminate players before the second Storm closes.	Vanquish three players before the second Storm circle closes in. This mission calls for players, not opponents, so you must take out actual players, not NPCs, to progress this mission.
Restore health or gain shields from destroying Slurp barrels.	Gain 100 shields or health by destroying Slurp barrels.
Damage opponents with pistols or SMGs.	Deal a total of 750 damage against enemies using pistols and SMGs. Since this mission calls for opponents, damage against both enemy players and hostile NPCs, like Human Bill or Bigfoot, counts.
Eliminate a player shortly after emoting.	Perform one emote right after taking out an enemy player.
Headshot opponents with assault rifles.	Land 10 headshots against enemies while using an assault rifle.
Reach max ammo of any type.	Reach the ammo cap for any type of ammo one time. You can do so by continuing to gather ammo from ammo boxes, chests, and other lootable containers until you cannot pick up any more of one type.

Once you’ve got six of these tasks done to check off the main goal, Hope’s final mission in this series is unlocked. The last stage asks you to talk to Hope about recruiting The Elites. After this, you’re officially done, although you’re still free to tackle even more quests in Hope’s series that you haven’t completed yet if you’d like to earn some extra XP.

Setting up an amazing squad in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is easier said than done, as you’ll need to look for monsties with the best possible stats.

This task is easier said than done. While you can always hatch the best of eggs, that doesn’t guarantee a perfect monstie. Instead, you’ll need to look for something called genes and master the concept.

How do genes work in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection

Every monstie has a dedicated set of Active and Passive skills. The number and types of skills of a monstie are determined by genes. If you refer to the image below, you’ll find a young Rathalos that’s available for all of us at the start of a journey.

Notice the bottom right corner, and you’ll find nine slots in a 3×3 grid. This grid is applicable for every monstie when they hatch. Some of the slots will be filled, and some will be empty. To get your perfect mostie, you’ll need to fill these empty slots. Having nine filled slots will give the mostie the best set of skills.

While not all their slots might be filled at the start, you can inherit additional genes from other creatures. To do so, you need to understand how Bingo and Rite of Channeling work.

How does Rite of Channeling and Bingo work in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection

Rite of Channeling allows you to switch the genes from one monstie to another. You can do so in different ways.

• Directly swap the genes from one monstie to another.
• Manually select which gene/genes you want to swap.
• Select the monsties and the genes you want to swap.

Once the swap is complete, you can continue to modify the genes of your selected monstie until you’ve filled all nine slots. However, randomly filling the slots is not the most optimal thing to do.

When you use Rite of Channeling, you should match up genes to get the maximum possible bonus. If you manage to do so, your monstie will have an extra 5% damage as a bonus for all Power attacks. To do so, you need to match three Power genes in a row. You can match them vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

You’ll get the bonus damage for a Bingo even if the associated element and attack type don’t match. If they do, however, then you can get multiple Bingos in a single row.

To build up your perfect monstie, Excursions are important as well.

How do Excursions work in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection

You can send your monstie on an Excursion to make it gain different stat bonuses and Environment Skills. To do so, you’ll need Training Talisman, which can be purchased from the Melynx Emporium. They’re expensive, so you should ration them properly. Additionally, only one monstie can be sent on an Excursion at any time.

To gain Environmental Skills, you’ll need to pay attention to whether the monstie was present in that region. If you add a monstie to a habitat and then send it on an Excursion at the same place, it will be able to learn new skills based on their Environment Rank.

The ultimate aim is to have three S-rank Environment Skills active on your monstie at once. Three is the maximum number of Environment Skills any monstie can have. If you send them to a region they’re unfamiliar with, your monstie will only learn the stat bonuses.

Every Environment Skill has three ranks for each region: B, A, and S. Your monstie can access the Skill if their Ecosystem Rank matches the region’s grade. Additionally, you can also Awaken every Environment Skill if your monstie has the required genes.
