“Bugger Off Bugs!” is an optional M★2 Master Rank quest in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The Seliana Elder Melder offers it after the Viper Tobi-Kadachi hunt in “Ready to Strike.” In Rotten Vale, kill 15 Vespoids and 20 Hornetaurs to complete it.

How to unlock the quest

Progress through the Iceborne story until you have hunted Viper Tobi-Kadachi in “Ready to Strike.” Afterward, speak with the Elder Melder in Seliana; the quest walkthrough identifies her as the quest giver. It is an optional Master Rank quest, listed at M★2, with an MR3 eligibility condition in the quest database.

These parameters are listed by the POEDB quest database; its encounter table includes large-monster rows that conflict with the quest-specific walkthrough. The objective and route below follow the walkthrough’s insect targets rather than those stray rows.

How to complete “Bugger Off Bugs!”

  1. Hunt 15 Vespoids in Area 1

    Start in Rotten Vale Area 1 and kill 15 Vespoids. The walkthrough suggests stones or ranged weapons. It also describes using two Clutch Claw hits to kill them without causing them to explode; these are guide suggestions, not independently tested tactics.
