Preparation

There are few things that you must prep before starting this frustating grindy infuriating little mini-game.

1. Unlock Ghillie Suit
Unlock this mantle. Very much a staple equipment for our quest in hunting down this critters. While certain endemics might not need ghillie at all. You might need to rethink that when sighting crakes with no ghillie at your disposal.

2. Eat Felyne Zoomaster
This one is certainly mandatory. This will increases likelihood of rare endemics life to appear. Take note that this buff disappear once you return from expedition (visit Seliana/Astera).

3. Get Felyne Macrozoologist
If you want the Gold Crown variant. This buff is for you. Unfortunately, this skills is a daily skill meaning that you must rotate until this buff appear on your canteen. Take note that this buff disappear once you return from expedition (visit Seliana/Astera).

4. Do not pick locale with [unknown] weather
[unknown] weather will appear when there is an elder dragon in the locale. Odd of spawning for endemic life is little to none under this condition. AVOID this by simply hunting in different locale for the moment.

Route #1: Coral Highlands

This route will show you an efficient pathway to catch

Downy Crakes and Bristly Crakes

These two critters are the hardest duo to capture in the game.

Downy Crakes

Time: Day/Night/Dusk/Dawn
Weather: Clear/Rainy

MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD - How to Catch All Rare Endemic Life1. Do the Skyward Sniper event quest
In the event quest Skyward Snipers, a pack of them are guaranteed to spawn atop a Grandfather Mantagrell in Area 12.

2. Switch Locale between Ancient Forest and Wildspire Waste
While this is not a reliable method but still feasible, switching between the locales will spawn reset the downy crakes. Fast travel to camp 1 and take a look on the back of Aptonoth/Apceros. If the critters is not there, switch to Ancient Forest/Wildspire again and repeat.

Bristly Crakes

Time: Day/Night/Dusk/Dawn
Weather: Clear/Rainy

MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD - How to Catch All Rare Endemic Life1. Do the Rotten Vale Path (Route #2)
In my opinion this is probably the fastest method to make bristly crake spawn on the back of mosswine in sector 15. If the bristly crake is not there, simply reset the locale by going to other locale and then going back to Rotten Vale.
