How to Complete the Gale Force Prokers Side Quest in Monster Hunter Stories 3 Twisted Reflection

At the Ranger Mess base, go ahead and talk to Thea. Thea is going to tell you about The Gale Force Porkers who have been spotted by a witness. While your character is a little dubious about the witness’s claims, you do agree to go and talk to them.

The witness can be found at the lake near Broadleaf Basin. If you fast travel there and explore you should be able to find the male mushroom forager. Talk with him. He will tell you about a Poogie nearby.
From the forager, head west. You will want to find the open area that has a big tree. It’s there you are going to find the big poogie.
Find and Race the Poogie

Basically, you are going to have to agree to race against the Swift Swine. The race is two laps and has obstacles like logs and stones. In addition, there are mushrooms you can grab to increase your speed. Zoomshrooms are bright red mushrooms. Grab those. However, avoid the purple mushrooms because they will slow you down.

Agree to the race and come out the victor. After you beat the Poogie, you will get the Poogie Hunter as a reward. It will point out the area where Poogie’s are located so it comes in handy with Thea’s side quests, especially!
