Rebuild the Ancient Forest Camp

Making Tasty Meat: Talk to the Handler to learn about meat. During expeditions, your maximum Stamina decreases over time and can be restored with items, especially Well-Done Steaks cooked from monster meat. Use the BBQ Spit (select with D-Pad, use with [Square]/[X], stop with [Circle]/[B]) and pay attention to the cooking tune and meat color to achieve a Well-Done Steak. Overcooking results in Burnt Meat, undercooking results in Raw Meat.

Tracking Down Grimalkynes: From the Southwest Camp, head north past the usual path to the river. Continue north and drop down a ledge to find a Lynian Researcher.

Talk to the Lynian Researcher, who will ask you to track Grimalkynes.

Examine strange doodles found around the Ancient Forest. Scoutflies will highlight these, and examining them grants Research Points and improves your Scoutfly Level.

Once Scoutfly Level one is reached, open the Ancient Forest map. In the bottom left, you can select which monsters to actively track, including the Grimalkynes.

Follow the Scoutfly trail for the Grimalkynes deep into the forest. Be cautious of large monsters like Anjanath.

The trail leads to the northern end of the forest, in AREA 13. Ascend ramps and climb vines to reach elevation level three.

Navigate walkways of vines and branches further up to AREA 17, which contains useful insects and plants.

Upon spotting a Grimalkyne, it will flee. Your Palico will encourage a chase, but you can explore the area first.

Reaching the potential new campsite initiates the delivery request Setting Up Camp: Ancient Forest II, which requires 1,000 Research Points, an Anjanath Pelt, and two Monster Bone L's.

From the potential campsite, head west to find vines. Use swinging vines and climbable vines to reach a ledge.

Continue across more swinging vines, climb a tendril, and ascend more vines to reach the Grimalkyne camp.

Approach the Grimalkynes, and your Palico will establish peace with them.
