Key Points for Story Walkthrough

The key points for conquering the story of Monster Hunter Wilds include remembering how to use the weapons you use, learn the characteristics of monsters and attack patterns, review your equipped weapons and armor, and activate meal skills by eating food.

Remember how to use the weapon you use

The important thing in combat in Monster Hunter Wilds is to remember how to use the weapons you use. As you master the unique actions that exist for each weapon, the efficiency with which you deal damage will increase, so learn how to use them in the training area where you can practice freely.

• Controls & Button Map Guide
• Training Area Guide

Learn Monster Characteristics and Attack Patterns

Hitzone, weak points, resistance, and parts that can be broken differ depending on the monster. Also, by learning the monster's attack action, you can predict the next action based on the previous stance and action, and reduc the number of attacks you receive. Once you get used to basic weapon operations, you can also pay attention to the movements of monster.

Review the Equipped Weapons and Armor

If it takes a long time to defeat monsters or the damage you receive increases, check your equipment. Also, some armor has skills that increase survivability or damage dealt, so when there is an enemy you cannot defeat, it is recommended to prepare strong armor before taking on the challenge.

Eat Food and Activate Meal Skill

By eating cooked meal, you can activate various Meal Skills and increase your health and resistance. Although the effect time is limited, it is an easy way to upgrade.

Use Items such as Capturing and Traps

By bringing in items that are useful in battle, such as Shock Trap, you can gain an advantage in battle. If you bring Crafting Material, you can replenish it on the spot, so think of it as hunting, including bringing in items.

Remember and Utilize the Location of Environmental Traps on each Map

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can use the Falling Boulder found on each map to deal heavy damage to monsters, or use Ivy Traps to immobilize them. Environmental Traps can't be used everywhere, but if you can, it will give you an advantage in battle, so remember the location of the environmental Traps on each map and use them.

Use Dung Pod when surrounded by Large Monsters

Dung Pod can move the monster it hits to another area. If it is difficult to fight, such as when the mosnter side has advantageous terrain or other large monsters, try pulling the monsters away from the area to create a situation where it is easier for you to fight around.

Call other Players or Support Hunter

If you have difficulty completing the solo mission, you can get help from other players or NPC Support Hunter by sending an SOS Flare signal. SOS Flare signal settings can be finely adjusted from Alma's Quest Counter, so use it to suit your play style.
