Learn how to complete the 'Gettin' Yolked in the Waste' quest in Monster Hunter: World. This guide covers finding Apceros nests, safely transporting eggs, and dealing with threats.

Alright, so this quest, 'Gettin' Yolked in the Waste,' is all about introducing you to a classic Monster Hunter task: hauling heavy stuff, usually eggs. Think of it like an escort mission, but you're the one doing the escorting... of an egg. You gotta find the egg, grab it, and haul it back to a camp's Item Box. You can even climb while carrying it, which is pretty neat!

The catch? You move like a snail when you're carrying these things. You can sprint, sure, but if your stamina runs out, BAM! Egg drops. And if you get hit by anything? Yep, egg drops again. You'll have to go back and snag another one. Plus, carrying around stolen eggs can attract some unwanted attention – either from the mama Apceros or other opportunistic monsters looking to snatch your prize. So, keep your wits about you!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Where am I? You're in the Wildspire Waste. The main objective is to find an Apceros nest.
  2. 2
    What do I see? Look for Apceros nests, which are usually found in the southern part of AREA 4. You'll see Apceros around, and they'll be chill until you try to steal their eggs.
  3. 3
    What do I do? Carefully approach an Apceros nest and pick up an Herbivore Egg. You'll need to deliver two of these.
  4. 4
    Why this way? The Apceros will get aggressive if you take their eggs. You move super slow while carrying an egg, so you need to manage your stamina. If you get hit, you'll drop the egg and have to start over.
  5. 5
    Where am I? You're heading back towards a camp, likely the Southwest Camp.
  6. 6
    What do I see? You'll be carrying the egg, moving slowly. Watch out for other Apceros or Kulu-Ya-Ku that might be in your path, especially in AREA 6.
  7. 7
    What do I do? Carefully make your way to the Supply Box at the camp and deposit the Herbivore Egg. Repeat this process for the second egg.
  8. 8
    Why this way? If you run out of stamina while sprinting, you'll drop the egg. If you get hit by a monster, you'll also drop it. Getting caught by aggressive Apceros or a Kulu-Ya-Ku can make this much harder, so try to avoid conflict if possible.
Tips
  • The Apceros are usually pretty docile, but they *will* attack if you try to steal their eggs. They're slow, so you can often outrun them if you need to.
  • If you want an easier time, you can just fight and kill the Apceros between the Southwest Camp and the nest. Just be aware of any wandering groups you might encounter later.
  • Keep an eye out for Kulu-Ya-Ku, especially in AREA 6, as they can also be a nuisance.
  • You can climb while carrying eggs, which can help you navigate some terrain.
  • Don't let your stamina completely deplete while carrying an egg; you'll drop it.
