Buddy Scout Guide

What is the Buddy Scout?

Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) has the Buddy Scout, a facility found at the Buddy Plaza that allows you to hire Palico and Palamute companions. These loyal allies can accompany you on quests or dispatched as Meowceneries to obtain rare items and materials.

Talk to Iori to Hire Palicoes and Palamutes

Blacksmith Hamon’s nephew Iori is the Buddy Scout’s Buddy Handler. Talk to him at the Buddy Plaza to request up to two (2) companions to join you on hunts.
