How to Cure and Countermeasures

Use item to Cure Status Ailments

Status effects in Monster Hunter Wilds can be cured by using special items. The methods and items to cure each status ailment are different, so be prepared to respond immediately when you get a status ailment.

Easy to Recover with Optimal State Recovery

There is a Newly added Radial Menu option in Monster Hunter Wilds. If you select Optimum State Recover, the appropriate item will be automatically used. It is very easy to use, so be sure to have it ready.

Cure Over Time or by Leaving the Effect Area

Some status effects are cured over time, and some are removed by leaving the area of effect. However, there are many dangerous status effects if left untreated, so use items to cure them as soon as possible.

You can check the remaining time of Status Effects

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can now check the remaining time of the status ailment that Hunter receives on the screen. Use this as an indicator for when to remove status effects.

Hunting Horn can also Grant Resistance and Heal

Some status ailments can be immunized and cured using Melody Effects of the Hunting Horn. It is also recommended to carry it as a secondary weapon as it will save you items.

Counter with Armor and Decoration Skills

Most status effects such as Stun and Paralysis can be countered with armor and decoration skills. If you're heading to a monster or area that will inflict a status ailment, make sure to have the right equipment in advance with skills that can reduce or negate it.

How to Apply Status Effects

Use Status Effect Weapons and Items

Status Effects can be applied to monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds with items and Status Effect weapons. Basically, it is necessary to accumulate status effect values, so repeatedly use attacks with the Poison Element for Poison and Paralysis Element for Paralysis.

Accumulates when an Effect Occurs

Status Effects accumulate when you attack a monster and you see the visualized effect. Melee weapons accumulate by chance, while bullets and vials from long range weapons always accumulate the effects.

Using Endemic Life to Inflict Status Effects

Paratoad and Flashflies are Endemic life that can also be used to apply status ailments. You can check the location of Endemic Life on the map, so use it wisely in battle.

Resistance Increases as You Use Them

in many cases, once a monster has a status effect, it will take a longer time to become affected again. The duration of the effect also gets shorter, so the more you use it, the less effective it becomes.
