But Pawprint Stamps, the item they drop, are highly sought after and infamously pretty🐻 tough to come by in Monster Hunter Stories. Thankfully, we've pinned down a few ways you'll reliably find Pawprint Stamps in Monster Hunter Storಞies to save you the frustration of searching.

Where To Find Pawprint Stamps

If you're lo💫oking to collect a few Pawprint Stamps in the port of Monster Hunter Stories, you'r🐭e in luck - they seem to be a bit easier to come by this time around than they were in the original Nintendo 3DS version of the game.

If you don't find one organically beforehand, the first time you'll hear about Pawprint Stamps is when speaking to the Kind Grandpa who's standing just outside your house in Gildegaran. Should you speak to him when he has the blue ! bubble over his head, he'll 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:give you the Subquest called Secret to Well-Being.

The man doesn't seem to appear until you've accepted the Totally Rad 'Shroom Hunt quest from Reverto and have begun to embark on toward the Bab▨da Rainforest.

Once you've activated the quest, you'll eventually need to hand over a single Pawprint Stamp, but where should you go to get them? You may not actually have to travel too far outside of Gildegaran after meeting the Kind Grandpa, anyway, as it's possible you've already unlocked a few Pawprint Stamps by filling out your Monsterpedia.

The most reliable way to find Pawprint Stamps in Monster Hunter Stories, though, is by winning a battle against a Barrel Felyne you'll encounter in the wild. You've seen plenty of the Felynes around the overworld, but these Monsties are lurking about peeking from within a wooden barrel꧃. Their Monsterpedia entry reads, "Trapped in barrels and unable to free themselves, th☂ese Felynes await rescue."

How To Find And Defeat Barrel Felynes

As a show of thanks, not only will the Barrel Felynes give you some Aged Felvine (that sells for a high price) and other helpful resource rewards, but you'll faithfully get one Pawprint Stamp for freeing them from their barrels.

Barrel Felynes seem more prevalent in the 2024 remake of Monster Hunter Stories than in the original 3DS game. While players used to struggle to find them, we had good luck making them spawn near 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Pink Rathian in Perennial Pass, along the pathways in Wintertide Tunnel, and to the right of the entrance to Albarax in the Trese Desert. If none have spawned around the map, try 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:using the Catavan to fast-travel and reset the monsters in these✤ areas.

Checking your map for monsters is easier when using a Monstie that has the Monster Search ability, as it marks the🎃 locations of🍌 monsters nearby on your map.

Unfortunately, Barrel Felynes don't take a lot of damage due to a reliable and remarkable high defense stat, and not only that, they're prone to fleeing from battle. You also can't throw Paintballs at them to try to send them fleeing back to a nest to try to catch them there where they're much less prone to running. They'll occasionally use Wait-'n-See for the first few turns in battle, which is your chance to strike! To counter its high defense, we found it best to use an attack that lands multiple times.

Use Multi-Hit Attacks To Boost Your Chances To Slay The Barrel Felyne

Yian Kut-Ku is a good choice for a Monstie when searching for and battling Barrel Felynes. Not only can it use Monster Search as one of its abilities, but your Kinship Skill with this particular Monstie is Fireball Expulsion, a fire elemental attack that lands a few times per use to deal multiple hits of damage in one turn. If you've got a Bulldrome, switching to it in battle and using Power Combo to deal multiple hits of Power da♈mage that stacks in intensity as you use it on consecutive turns.

Regardless, the goal when fighting Barrel Felynes in Monster Hunter Stories is to be quick and deal as much damage as fast as possible before it flee🔯s. Once you've go🅠t one in battle, hit hard and fast to take it down, and you'll have a pile of Pawprint Stamps in no time.
