How to progress monster unlock quests:
Once the season begins, monster unlock quests featuring monsters from past seasons will become available. Complete the quests and the slain monster will now appear on the field permanently.
*You will need to complete the pre-season story in order for monster unlock quests to become available.
*Nothing will appear if you have already completed all the monster unlock quests.
