Hunting Tips in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you are new to the Monster Hunter series, you need to remember to study each monster’s movement patterns, as they have unique tells before big attacks.
Be sure to pack items suited for the hunt, like antidotes for poison users or deodorants for Congalala’s effects. Use the environment to your advantage, as many monsters respond to terrain features, and focus on targeting weak points to break parts and limit their effectiveness.
Adapt your strategy as different weapons can be more effective against certain monsters.
Remember, success in Monster Hunter Wilds comes from preparation and observation. Take time to learn each monster’s patterns and don’t get discouraged by early failures. Happy hunting!
