Deserted Island



The Deserted Island is a large, vibrant island teeming with variety. It houses lush, grassy areas, forests, pitch-black caves, and watery channels, before opening onto the ocean. Also known as the Moga Woods, this is a popular place for hunters to practice their skills in a "freehunting" mode with no time restrictions, similar to the Forest and Hills region. As the player progresses through the offline story, large monsters, such as Great Jaggi, Royal Ludroth, Qurupeco, Rathian, Rathalos and Lagiacrus will start to appear. These monsters can be slain or captured, and can be converted into resources and commodities. If a monster is captured more points and better commodities will be given to the hunter. If you talk to Junior, then select Moga Forecast, it will show 1-2 large monsters that will appear first. After these have been slain, other monsters may randomly appear.

The shortcut from the camp to Area 9 can be found by facing away from the beds in the camp, diving into the water and swimming through the cave. No monsters are exclusive to the Deserted Island. There is also a glitch in Area 5; it is a secret ledge that is possible to get to by jumping down from Area 8 and getting shot by a Bowgunner with Pellet S.

In Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, the Deserted Island has an all-new camp zone connected to Area 1, and Areas 11 and 12 are not present, due to the omission of underwater areas. In fact, because of Area 12's removal, Area 10 is the new location for a Leviathan's (Royal Ludroth and Purple Ludroth in this case) nest.

MH3 Ultimate

Moga Hunt
MH3


 * In MH3U, when initiating a Free Hunt in the Deserted Island, you can choose to hunt during the day or the night. In the day, the materials and carves are low-rank, and all of the monsters are native to the area. In the night, however, everything is in high-rank, and monsters that normally do not appear in the Deserted Island, such as Barroth and Great Wroggi, appear for you to hunt for resource points.
 * Below is a list of all the monsters you can find in the Deserted Island, what time they appear, and what is required for them to appear.
