All Map List

Name	Description
Windward Plains	[Available From the Start] The Windward Plains are a diverse region filled with sandy deserts, swaying grasslands, twisting rock formations, and other natural features. As a member of the Research Expedition charged with investigating the Forbidden Lands, the Windward Plains is the first new hunting locale you'll visit. This land experiences an Inclemency known as the Sandtide, a great sandstorm roiling with thunder.
Scarlet Forest	[Unlocked after Ch.1-2] Following the river found in the Windward Plains will lead you to the verdant Scarlet Forest, with its towering trees and abundant water. As you take your first steps here in your journey, your eyes are drawn to the peculiar red-colored water found on the forest floor... This land experiences an Inclemency known as the Downpour, a torrential rainstorm that floods the surrounding area.
Oilwell Basin	A unique locale where, as its name suggests, oil wells up from the ground and accumulates in deep pools of oilsilt. This land experiences an Inclemency known as the Firespring, a phenomenon in which fierce fires blaze.
Iceshard Cliffs	A frigid land swept with snowy blizzards.
Dragon Valley Ruins (translated from Japanese) *Arena	This location serves as the Arena for Wilds. It can be visited outside of Quests with Monsters that can be hunted roaming the area.

There are currently five known locations for Monster Hunter Wilds: Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Oilwell Basin, Iceshard Cliffs, and Dragon Valley Ruins (official name TBD).
