It really says something when even an NPC lampshades just how worrisome these quests are: It's probably for the better that Capture quests are less frequent in newer games, and World and Rise highlight when the monster is ripe for capture without adjustments. Or if it's a quest well below your level (for example, level 2 Deviant quests and you're in postgame G-rank), it's entirely possible to kill the monster before Capture Guru activates, as it may take a few seconds after the monster is weak enough to actually flash the monster's icon. Multiplayer? If you're playing with randoms, you better hope they have the sense to stop attacking the moment they're told the monster is ready for capture, which doesn't always happen if there's language barriers, your teammates ignore chats and signals, or are just plain griefing. And in older Monster Hunter games, the Tranquilizer Bombs dealt scratch damage, making it possible to kill the monster in that manner as well.

Speaking of which, it's ABSURDLY easy to wedge yourself into an Unwinnable by Design situation if you run out of traps or Tranquilizer Bombs, unless of course you carry the required combination materials to create more of these items this isn't helped by your limited Item Pouch storage. What's worse, you're likely bound to run out of traps, as more often than not, a monster can and will leave the area JUST AS SOON as you place down a trap. Not only that, but you can only set down one trap at a time, meaning that you would have to wait for the trap to automatically despawn before you can place another one down. And capturing a monster requires at least one trap, and you can hold only one of each type of trap, and there are only two types of traps in the game. By the way, Capture Guru requires you to use a Paintball for it to work. The only way to see when its health is low enough to capture is to have the Capture Guru skill gemmed in your armor set, but that will require you sacrificing another gemmed in skill. This brings us to another problem: THERE'S NO ENEMY HEALTH BAR.

And for most inexperienced players, it's really easy to forget that it's a Capture Quest while you're in the heat of battle. And worse yet, you can't even kill the target monster, already depriving you of your precious carves before the quest even BEGINS. Let's face it, Capture Quests are a pain to do, mainly because you have a constant fear of killing the monster by accident.
