Problem: Only the host can complete "Hunt freely, live freely"

This is a huge oversight in the game, in my opinion, and a big problem. As it is set up right now, only hosts can get credit for hunts hunting deeply volatile kemono in order to complete this quest and progress. Also, in order to hunt them, you need to farm keys. This means no one wants to help, and everyone wants to host, making it hard to get assistance. I personally find it impossible to do solo, due to the time limit and one death count, because if you are solo and die, it fails. It will only get harder to find help to get these completed, because even to invite a friend to help you, they have to spend time farming keys. One friend I completed one with, said he is done them now, and can't help me on mine because he would have to farm keys, as he has none left.

How in the world is this good planning? Once a portion of the community gets through this quest, which most of the community cannot solo, and most of the community does not want to help, and only wants to host, how is anyone going to complete it, after a certain point? I'm literally stunned by this. It doesn't help that after 5 tries I helped someone complete Grimquill, only to see my count for completion go from 1/4 to 0/4 when I returned to Minato. I don't even know if I can find random people to complete this with again.

Please consider allowing guests to also get credit. Please also consider removing keys. I don't understand these restrictions at all, because you are going to gate a fair portion of the community behind this quest.

    @aeralure I believe I’m having the same issue. I was curious, did your objectives for hunting the Deeply Volatile Kemono disappear below the quest title?

    @DarickisDamnedYeah, in talking with a friend that I just helped get platinum for by defeating Grimquill with him - this is how it works. Only the host gets credit. No one wants to assist because only the host gets credit, and no one wants to assist once they complete it either, due to the high degree of failure, and no unique rewards. It is better to farm regular volatile for cladding, if you even want to. He tried getting help all morning and no one came. Yesterday either.

    If you assist with deeply volatile, you will get progress, but it will disappear on returning to Minato, unfortunately.

    @aeralureWow I’ve been racking my brain for the past 2 days over this. Pretty ridiculous but I’m glad to have an answer finally.

    @DarickisDamnedYeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It may be a bug. I reported it as such, but it may also be intended that only the host gets credit. I don't know. I asked a few friends if they would help, but a few of them have left the game now due to this issue, so I am not sure I'll be able to complete it. One said they waited two days for someone to come assist randomly and no one did. No one wants to help on it because you don't get credit. I may leave the game as well.

    Hopefully it is a bug and gets fixed so that guests can get credit for it. I may be done until that is the case, as others in my circle left and I don't know how to get help now as a host.

    @aeralureQuick update, I was able to host last night and defeated all 4 deeply volatile Kemono and received the trophy but still the quest has not progressed .

    @DarickisDamnedOh no! I was able to find a friend who had already done it and we went through them together. It all worked out on my end (even though I still think guests should also get credit for participating, and that it is or will be a problem down the road), but very sorry to hear that your did not. I suggest taking a screenshot of your map and the quest status and post it in the Focused Bug Report thread.

    @DarickisDamnedPartial success! I have learned from other players on the other platforms that only the PS5 has this problem. On Steam and XBox you can defeat the deeply volatiles in multiplayer, not as the host, and still get credit towards the quest, and the achievements, although there may be other individual bugs associated with this achievement on those other platforms.
