Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of side quests where you have to go monster hunting, but a select few quests focus on the other creatures living on the forbidden island. These quests often require you to capture these creatures, which is easier said than done.

The Flash Course side quest is given to you by your Palico, and it requires you to capture Flashflies. While you do encounter many Flashflies on your hunts, you usually don’t have the luxury or time to capture them during monster hunting. Fortunately, this guide will help you find one and capture it easily to complete the side quest.
How To Begin The Flash Course Side Quest
The Flash Course side quest is the second quest given to you by your Palico, with the first one being the Healing Help side quest, which requires you to capture a Vigorwasp. After completing the Healing Help quest, you can return to your Palico, and they will give you the Flash Course Quest.
To initiate this quest, you must talk to your Palico inside the base camp in any area. You can usually find the Palico right beside the tent in any base camp.
Where To Find And Capture Flashflies
Flashflies are found all over the map, but the easiest way to find one is to go southeast from the Windward Plains’ base camp exit. Doing so will lead you straight to a group of Flashflies without any major threats nearby, so you can easily capture them.
You can also mark the Flashflies on the map as a waypoint, and your Seikret will lead you straight to them.
To capture Flashflies, you’ll need to switch to the Capture Net feature of your Slinger. You can find the Capture Net under the Essential Items wheel. Once you’ve switched to the capture net, a square-like crosshair will appear on your screen while aiming with the Slinger.
Approach the group of Flashflies, and shoot the Capture Net at it as you shoot any Slinger Ammo. Once you’ve done so, return to the base camp and talk to your Palico again to finish the quest.
Finishing the Flash Course side quest will unlock the Flashfly Cage ability of your Palico, and you’ll be able to take another quest from them.
