Not all monsters from Monster Hunter Tri are present in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd – Lagiacrus, Gobul, and Ceadeus have been removed. Underwater quests, however, have been completely removed, therefore maps such as the Deserted Island and Flooded Forest have been revised to work around this. All the hunting fields in Monster Hunter Tri, along with the addition of the Misty Peaks field are included in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. A new field introduced in the game is Misty Peaks ( 渓流, Keiryū). The player will be able to customize the Felynes in three areas: weapon, head parts and torso parts. Doing so will change the creature's physical appearance and properties. Also new to Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is the ability to customize the Felyne companions' equipment. When you take Felynes out on quests, monster attacks are divided between the player and the companions, making hunts easier. The player can take two Felynes out with them on a single player quest, up from the single companion of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Now the Felynes train in the farm and have more training options like the marathon training in which the Felyne runs around the farm.


This village has a feudal Japanese feel to it, both from its design to its residents. The new base of operations is Yukumo Village.
