     Is it wrong to eat a dinosaur that wants to be eaten? What if it asks you to make a little hat out of its gall bladder? What if the gall bladder has different opinions on the matter? Discover the answers to these and more as our merry band of conservation enthusiasts/trophy hunters discuss Monster Hunter Wilds!

Nic: Life, the absolute bastard, has kept me away from the Monst. Let me experience it through you. What's the best Monst so far?

Brendan: I am fond of the squiddy critters that slop about. The Nu Udra is a giant gloopy octopus that feels like a stand-out fight partly because of its many, many arms, but also because of the environment you fight it in. It's horrible (in a fun way) to wade about in the oil of this region, and try to avoid the flames that inevitably start to spread. Another later squid-like beast has some horrible knifey hands at the end of its tentacles, but I'll let the readers discover the rest of that creep's tactics by themselves.

Ollie: I'm partial to the Yian Kut-Ku myself. It was the very first monster I ever fought in any Monster Hunter, back in the days of Monster Hunter Freedom on my PSP. And all these years later, I still recognised all its moves, and it made the whole act of beating up the big fire-breathing chicken even more enjoyable and satisfying than it already was.

Felyne Nu Udra Armor Is the Best Monster Hunter Palico Equipment

The fun thing about the Palico in the Monster Hunter series is that Capcom often plays around and lets us dress them in cute, funny, and weird outfits when you use full equipment sets, and Monster Hunter Wilds might just offer the best one yet. The new Nu Udra cephalopod monster debuts as an Apex Predator in the Basin region. It also lets us bring Octo-Cat to life. Which means, in some ways, that a Nu Udra Palico is just too cool.

A number of the Palico Equipment sets in Monster Hunter Wilds let our Felyne companion cosplay as other characters. The Felyne Conga set makes it look like one of those wind-up monkeys that bangs cymbals together. The Felyne Doshaguma and Ajarakan sets feature flowing manes and resemble the monsters. But the Felyne Nu Udra turns it into an octopus with cat ears.

Now, part of what makes the Felyne Nu Udra the best Monster Hunter Wilds Palico equipment is the visual effect. It ends up looking exactly like the marine creature. There are six tentacles if you forge the lower-half Felyne Udra Tentacles. These flail about as your Felyne moves, making it look like each one is propelling the critter across surfaces. The Felyne Udra Head has the same slitted eyes as an octopus and the bulbous back of the head, which has physics applied to it that bob and sway as the cat moves. The only feline features are two pointed ears, which fit in seamlessly. 

The lower half only requires Nu Udra Hide and can be forged immediately after facing the Basin Apex predator in Chapter 2. Which is pretty great, seeing as how it adds 18 defense and offers some fire resistance. The Felyne Nu Udra Head requires you to push a bit further into the game. While you'll likely have the Nu Udra Horn from The Black Flame fight in Chapter 2, you also need a Guardian Pelt often dropped by Wyveria Guardian monsters to make it. That has 17 defense and also offers fire resistance. So even at Low Rank, it's a pretty viable suit for your buddy.

The visual that stems from using both at once is just so good.

The only thing that's almost as satisfying is to mix it up with another Basin-region piece of Palico Equipment. If you defeat the Rompopolo and get its beak as a drop, you can make the F Rompopolo Brain helmet for your furry friend. This turns your Palico's head into a pink, cat head-shaped brain in a green, glowing jar. Given how the base of it looks, it ends up looking like it is grafted onto the tentacles when paired with the Felyne Udra Tentacles. You can forge it right away, since it doesn't require any additional equipment, and it nets your Palico 14 points of defense and 1 point of Dragon resistance. 

If you're into Monster Hunter as a series for its occasional goofiness and dress-up capabilities, then I definitely recommend the Felyne Nu Udra set as one of the best Monster Hunter Wilds Palico Equipment options. It's just so much fun. Even if you only opt to use part of it, it can make your runs much sillier. 

Monster Hunter Wilds is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Lala Barina in MHW

Bleeding, by far, is one of the worst debuffs you can come across in Monster Hunter Wilds, and managing it can become a nightmare.

This particular debuff can be triggered quite easily by some monsters and from the environment. Thankfully, there are different ways to counter this debuff, and this guide will help you to counter bleeding and save yourself in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to cure bleeding in Monster Hunter Wilds

There are some really useful items to pick from the Provisions Vendor located in any camp. One of those items called Wild Jerky will help you instantly cure bleeding if it's triggered. You can purchase Wild Jerky for 98z, so make sure to keep some of them in your inventory at all times. You can bleed from environmental causes as well, and it's certainly not a fun way to die.

Do note that you will lower your movement speed when you're consuming a consumable like Wild Jerky. Just keep this in mind in case you're in the middle of a battle. You can also call your Seikret before consuming Wild Jerky if you don't want to be slowed and become an easy target.

Another way to cure bleeding is to consume Rations. This item can be found in the Ingredient Center on the Support Desk NPC. It also restores a bit of Stamina along with curing the debuff and serves two purposes.

Thirdly, you can just crouch for a few seconds to stop bleeding. While this method is useful if you have taken damage from environmental sources, it's not a smart thing to do if you're in a battle. Chances are that the monster might end up killing you anyway by the time you can remove the bleeding debuff.

How to prevent bleeding in Monster Hunter Wilds

You don't have to cure bleeding if you can prevent it from happening in the first place. To do so, you'll have to use the Bleed Charm Talisman from Smithy or Gemma. You can upgrade the talisman, which will improve its Bleeding Resistance stat.

While a high level of Bleeding Resistance stat is always helpful, it's best to always keep a few Wild Jerkies and Rations with you. Additionally, make sure to check out our weapons tier list to deal with the different monsters effectively. You can also set different traps to deal more damage or mount them to attack from the top.

Using Tranq Bombs on the Yian Kut-Ku

Mounting monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds has several benefits, and it should be one of the first attacking techniques you should get accustomed to.

When you come across a monster in the game, mounting it isn't the easiest activity out of all. However, putting in the extra effort will be beneficial in many ways.

Let's take a look at how to mount a monster inside the game effectively.

Monster Hunter Wilds mounting system explained

When you come across a monster, you can't just mount it immediately. You'll have to fill out a hidden mount meter before you can perform the mounted attacks. To do so, you'll have to land a Jump Attack. First, get on a surface with a height like a ledge.

From the high surface, perform the Jump Attack by pressing the M1 Mouse Button/Triangle/Y to hit the monster. If you manage to hit the monster successfully, it will fill up a part of the meter. Continue to repeat the process to fill the meter fully, and you'll be able to use the monster as you next mount.

All mount-based attacks in Monster Hunter Wilds

Once you have successfully mounted a monster, it will be open to different types of attacks.

Action Input Effect
Light Knife Attack M2 Mouse button/Circle/B Perform a rapid number of quick attacks that don't do a significant amount of damage.
Strong Knife Attack M1 Mouse button/Triangle/Y Perform slower attacks that do more damage than the quicker attacks
Weapon Attack/Finisher Shift/R1/RB Deals a massive amount of damage to the monsters, but dismounts it once the attack is complete
Change Position/Target Directional Key or LS Allows you to move around the monster after mounting it
Brace Press and Hold R/R2/RT Allows you to stick onto the monster as it tries to throw you off. When prompted, you'll have to press and hold the designated buttons to hold onto the monster. If you fail, you'll lose a large chunk of stamina. Once your stamina comes down to 0, you'll be automatically dismounted

As of writing, you can only mount large monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. Also, you can't perform a Finisher right after mounting a monster. You'll need to deal damage consistently to convert your attack into a Finisher. You can also create wounds using Strong Knife attacks that will create wounds on the body of a monster.

Wounds are more susceptible to damage, and you can also perform a Focus Strike to deal more hits to the monster's health. Once again, mounting monsters isn't the easiest task to perform in Monster Hunter Wilds, but mastering it can be extremely rewarding in the long run.

Hunter and Palico in MHW

There's more than one way to capture monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, and setting a perfect trap is certainly one of the most effective ways available inside the game.

There are two types of traps you can utilize: Consumable and Environmental. The process of activating them is different, and they're not equally effective for every kind of monster. This guide will help you master the concepts of setting and activating traps to make the most out of them while grabbing any monster.

How to use Consumable traps in Monster Hunter Wilds

Consumable traps work just like a piece of consumable, and you can equip them from your inventory. Once you have selected the trap, press the Square button, and there will be a brief animation when it's being set. Once set, your trap is automatically active.

Whether you're using a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap, activation will happen when a monster enters its working radius. The trigger happens automatically, making it perfect for you to stay away and watch the fun from a distance. If you're unsure about the placement of a Consumable trap, you can pick it up and add it to your inventory.

How to use Environmental traps in Monster Hunter Wilds

The name "Environmental" makes it pretty clear as to how these traps work. They don't have to be set, and all you have to do is approach them and interact with the button to activate them. You can do the same task from a distance by using your Slinger Hook.

Just like Consumable traps, Environmental traps are activated when a monster is in its radius. However, these traps are harder to activate as you can't set them beforehand.

All traps in Monster Hunter Wilds

Here's a breakdown of every trap that is available in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Disclaimer: List to be updated as we find more traps.

Trap Effect
Shock Electrify a monster and temporarily incapacitate them
Pitfall Pin down a monster and push its body partially under the ground. The head and the upper part of the body will be exposed for you to damage it
Falling Boulders Drop down a barrage of boulders that knocks down the monsters and deal damage. It exposes the monster and allows you do a lot of powerful combos.
Sharp Crystal Pillars Works in the same fashion as Falling Boulders, but has a larger area of effect.
Vine Traps The traps will be set after you interact with it, and the vines will lure the monsters into it. Once the monster is stuck, you can land some powerful blows on it.
Quicksand This trap is unique to Balahara. When activated, both monsters and hunters can get dragged inside it, so be careful.
Great Thunderbugs Has a similar effect as Shock Traps as they incapacitate the monsters.
Paratoads While the effect of Paratoads is identical to Great Thunderbugs, they can also incapacitate hunters. Hence, it's best to stay away and use your Slinger Hook.
Flashflies They will knock down flying monsters and blind grounded monsters.

Using traps in Monster Hunter Wilds is not necessary, but they can be extremely useful in certain situations. For example, some traps can expose bigger monsters, allowing you to land combos and deal a lot of damage in a short time.

Monster Hunter Wilds has a pretty sweet way of player customization available at the start of a game, but you'll need something called Character Vouchers to perform the same task later on.

While cosmetic changes don't directly help you much with your monster-catching functions, they help your character look apart. The vouchers will allow you to make changes as much as you want and when you want.

Let's take a look at how you can obtain these items inside the game and what the best ways to spend them are in the first place.

How to get Character Vouchers in Monster Hunter Wilds

There's no way to get Character Vouchers by just playing the game. They can obtained as paid DLCs, which is similar to systems implemented in previous Monster Hunter releases. This system is a major change from what was available during the open Betas, as you could edit as much as you wanted.

It remains to be seen if we get any events in the future that will allow us to get these vouchers by simply playing the game.

How to use Character Vouchers in Monster Hunter Wilds

The role of Character Vouchers is to allow you to perform Character Edits. Similar to the Change Appearance function, Character Edits will enable you to make bigger changes to how your character looks inside the game. Unlike Change Appearance, Character Edits aren't free as of writing.

Here's a complete list of everything you can change from Character Edits.

  • Body
  • Gender
  • Age 
  • Hairstyle
  • Eyebrows
  • Eyelashes
  • Eyes
  • Mouth
  • Beard
  • Makeup
  • Voice Pitch
  • Demeanor
  • Undergarments
  • Voice Type
  • Skin
  • Eyes
  • Nose
  • Contour

If you don't plan to spend any money on Character Vouchers, make sure to pay proper attention during character creation. You can make changes to how it appears later, but the tweaks will have limited scope.

Ultimate Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Tier List

With the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, I've had a few weeks to try out all the weapons available this time around as well as try out the Day 1 patch that is launching alongside the game. As such, I put together this ultimate Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Tier List to help both beginner and veteran players decide which weapon to use.

Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Tier List

Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Tier List

For this Monster Hunter Wild Weapon Tier List, I have ranked each weapon twice, once for beginners, and once for veterans. Some weapons like the Insect Glaive, can be difficult for new players to get a hang of, but absolute monsters in the hands of a veteran. On the other side, some weapons like the Sword and Shield can prove invaluable for beginners but lack the high ceiling cap a more experienced player might be looking for. Here is my ultimate Monster Hunter Wilds weapon tier list for the Day 1 Patch:

S Tier

  • Bow (Beginner)

    • The Bow offers new players a more easy playstyle, favoring the ability to keep monsters at a distance while cycling through a variety of different ammo types to inflict elemental damage that each monster is weak to. You can essentially use your Palico (or friends) to take the monsters while you stand back and shoot away with your bow.

  • Great Sword (Beginner)

    • A rather simple yet effective spammable combo makes the Great Sword one of the best beginner-friendly melee weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, and also features a very defensive-friendly secondary attack that often lets you dodge out of the way while still dealing damage, which is a great ability to help learn the game with.

  • Gunlance (Veteran)

    • Those who take the time to master the inner workings of the Gunlance will find it to be the best overall tankier-oriented weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds, allowing experience players to play the role of tank while still dealing massive damage with powerful and hard-hitting explosive shells.

  • Hunting Horn (Veteran)

    • Essentially a heavy hitting blunt hammer that also allows the player to give themselves and other nearby allies buffs, the Hunting Horn can be extremely versatile when in the hands of a skilled player. A must-have for higher level group play, the Hunting Horn also allows players to place Echo Bubbles in specific areas on the field to grant special effects in Monster Hunter Wilds.

  • Insect Glaive (Veteran)

    • The Insect Glaive is the ultimate proof that if you take the time to learn a weapon, it can be a game changer. The Insect Glaive allows players to vault into the air and perform deadly jumping attacks throughout an encounter, as well as manage their controllable Kinsect to gain powerful buffs and help turn the tide of battle. For the Day 1 Patch, the Insect Glaive also got a nice buff.

  • Light Bowgun (Beginner)

    • For beginner players, the Light Bowgun is a solid option as it allows you to basically continuously fire at monsters with a machine gun-like weapon. Until you learn the game, keeping monsters at range is a huge advantage, and being able to consistently upkeep damage while moving around is a huge boon to newer players.

  • Long Sword (Veteran)

    • If you're a fan of combos, you know just how strong the Long Sword can be. Learning to master the Spirit Gauge to empower your well-orchestrated combo attacks give the Long Sword one of the highest skill potential weapons in all of Monster Hunter Wilds.

  • Switch Axe (Veteran)

    • Some Day 1 buffs to the Switch Axe have made it a deadly weapon in the hands of skilled players that know how to effectively transition between Axe Mode and Sword Mode as they weave long-range and fast attacks into their offensive. Once mastered, the Switch Axe can be one of the highest damage weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds.

  • Sword and Shield (Beginner)

    • Until you've fully grasped the mechanics of Monster Hunter Wilds, the Sword and Shield option allows newer players to easily block and attack monsters with your shield, reducing the overall damage you're going to take while you learn things. It's a solid option for getting a grasp of the game while ensuring your stay alive.

A Tier

  • Bow (Veteran)

    • Unfortunately for veteran Bow players, the weapon got a slight nerf in the Day 1 Patch otherwise it would stay in the S Tier regardless of player skill. Even still, it's still a very strong weapon worth using, especially if you know how to make use of the different ammo types that a veteran player would.

  • Charge Blade (Veteran)

    • A skilled player that knows how to properly switch between Sword Mode and Axe Mode to optimize damage or evasiveness can really push the Charge Blade to the max. Especially once you learn how to use Charge Phials to ramp up the damage output before switching to Axe Mode.

  • Dual Blades (Veteran)

    • Knowing when to enter Demon Mode and furthermore Archdemon Mode to take advantage of the Dual Blades fast attacks makes them very effective in the hands of a player that knows how to use them. Plus, it's nice to have so much added elusiveness while still wielding strong weapons.

  • Great Sword (Veteran)

    • The raw slicing power of the Great Sword keeps in strong even in the hands of a veteran player, but the simple combos pale in comparison to weapons like the Long Sword which will have better results for a skilled player. Even still, just knowing how to properly play Monster Hunter Wilds while using a Great Sword will lead to success.

  • Gunlance (Beginner)

    • Another solid tanking option alongside the Sword and Shield for beginner players. It's essentially Sword and Shield on steroids with a massive gunblade and shield instead of a smaller regular sword and shield. You can guard attacks, then follow up with powerful explosive shells to shred monsters.

  • Lance (Beginner and Veteran)

    • Changes to the Lance from the Day 1 patch for Monster Hunter Wilds have made it a strong choice for both beginners and veterans, allowing players to make use of guard and counter attacks to follow-up with fast hitting and powerful thrusting attacks to deal massive damage while still mitigating damage as well.

  • Light Bowgun (Veteran)

    • I'd make the argument that if you're a skilled player of Monster Hunter Wilds you should take advantage of the combos that melee weapons offer, but if you are determined to play ranged, the Light Bowgun might be the best option for a veteran.

  • Long Sword (Beginner)

    • Learning how to master the Spirit Gauge and the many combos of the Long Sword will be paramount in really taking advantage of the Long Sword's potential, but its still a hard hitting and more maneuverable option for beginners to Monster Hunter Wilds.

B Tier

  • Charge Blade (Beginner)

    • Charge Blade is another piece of proof that mastering a weapon makes a world of difference. The Charge Blade is a solid weapon even for beginners, but effective use of Charge Phials and swapping between the two modes elevates the weapon much higher.

  • Dual Blades (Beginner)

    • The Dual Blades are easy to spam rapid attacks on monsters even for a beginner, but its true strength lies in knowing when to enter Demon and then Archdemon Mode to power up your attacks. Once you've got this down, the Dual Blades become much stronger of an option in Monster Hunter Wilds.

  • Hammer (Beginner)

    • Bonk! That really sums up the Hammer for beginner players. If you want to be able to power up attacks to bonk monsters in the head and potentially stun them, the Hammer is for you. It's very slow but also hard hitting, so if that sounds like your playstyle, give the Hammer a try but also the Hunting Horn, which is also in the B tier.

  • Heavy Bowgun (Beginner)

    • For players who want to be immobile while launching powerful ranged attacks at monsters, the Heavy Bowgun is for you. If the Light Bowgun is a machine gun, the Heavy Bowgun is an artillery cannon. However, the lack of mobility also makes it not a particularly ideal option for beginner players, though you can block with it as well.

  • Hunting Horn (Beginner)

    • It may seem odd to see the Hunting Horn and Hammer in the same tier for beginners, but the reason is moreso that until you know how the weapon, and Monster Hunter Wilds works, the Hunting Horn isn't nearly as effective, making it more powerful in the hands of a veteran than a beginner.

  • Switch Axe (Beginner)

    • Some Day 1 Buffs for the Switch Axe have made it a powerful weapon even in the hands of newer players, but it still has somewhat of a skill gap that requires you to essentially learn two weapons at once to really make use of it. Even still, you could probably just use one of the two and still have some success with the Switch Axe in Monster Hunter Wilds.

C Tier

  • Hammer (Veteran)

    • I know this may seem a bit harsh, and for the most part the Hammer probably belongs more in B Tier for both beginner and veteran players, but in Monster Hunter Wilds it really feels as though Hammer users should just be using the Hunting Horn instead.

  • Heavy Bowgun (Veteran)

    • At a glance, the Heavy Bowgun is a weapon that has never really made too much sense in Monster Hunter from a gameplay standpoint, and that's even more clear for experienced players in Wilds. Sure you get a hard hitting weapon that can attack at range, but the need to hunker down in place and expend energy to really do damage just goes against everything Monster Hunter, especially at range.

  • Insect Glaive (Beginner)

    • The Insect Glaive is incredibly powerful in the hands of a veteran, but for beginners you'll probably end up just jumping around haphazardly without properly managing your Kinsects and optimizing your damage and utility, meaning you should just play one of the other weapons that more easily does more damage.

  • Sword and Shield (Veteran)

    • Even though the Sword and Shield is great for beginner players, it really falls off compared to the other tanky options of Gunlance and Lance. In fact, there's not a real reason to go with Sword and Shield once you know how to play Monster Hunter Wilds unless you just really like the playstyle.

As you can see, most weapons are simply better when in the hands of a more skilled player. This means that you should try all the weapons and see which one you like the most; after all, they all have vastly different playstyles. Once you find one you like, keep playing it until you master it and it will be able to hold its own against any other weapon regardless of its placement on this tier list!

Poogie sleeping in Monster Hunter Wilds

Poogie has blessed us with its adorable presence in many Monster Hunters, from Freedom to MH3. It has once again made its mark in Monster Hunter Wilds, oink-ing its way to the top. Find out where to find this creature and how to pet it.

Where to find and unlock Poogie in Monster Hunter Wilds

Before we get into how to pet Poogie, you'll need to know where to find it first. Poogie can be found in the Suja region, which unlocks during Nothing Frozen, Nothing Gained Chapter 3-2. The pig will roam around this area, marked with its distinct Pet icon.

If it's nighttime, Poogie will likely be sleeping, but you can wake it up to start giving it pets.

How to pet Poogie in Monster Hunter Wilds

Petting Poogie will be easy enough to initiate, but the only problem is that it will get mad if you don't do it correctly. To avoid this, press the 'Pet' button when the exclamation point appears. A successful attempt displays hearts around the pig as they jump for joy. If this doesn't happen, it will end up knocking you down. Luckily, you can simply try again afterward.

Petting Poogie in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

Poogie will give you a random item in return to show their gratitude. I got an Exciteshroom out of it, but you can earn plenty more rewards. If you're lucky, you may even get some of the game's rarest items. Although you can pet Poogie as often as you like in Monster Hunter Wilds, it seems to only provide you with one daily gift. Check back on the pig anytime you're in Suja for more rewards.

One of the unique features of Poogie is the ability to rename it, similar to the titles of the Palico and Seikret. There's a 15-character limit, so you can't go overboard with the length. But you can get creative and give Poogie a name that resonates with you. Of course, you can always stick with the classic 'Poogie'; it's a pretty cute name as is.

Palico near Bonepiles in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Bone Armor set is one of the first upgrades you can unlock, slightly boosting your defense and elemental resistance. To craft it, you must gather Mystery Bones throughout the regions. Here's how to get Mystery Bones in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to farm Mystery Bones in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can utilize several methods to acquire Mystery Bones, whether from standard looting or monster fights. Take advantage of the following methods to farm them in Monster Hunter Wilds:

  • Earn as a quest reward
  • Eliminate Small Monsters
  • Scavenge Bonepiles

Completing quests is a surefire way to get Mystery Bones, making it one of the best techniques for farming. Some Small Monsters are known to drop it, too, once you take them down. If you want to test your luck, you can scavenge Bonepiles, but it's not always guaranteed. Since each method requires specific maneuvers, let's break down each one.

All Monster Hunter Wilds quests with Mystery Bone rewards

Monster Hunter Wilds' early missions tend to drop more Mystery Bones, such as the main campaign and the Optional Quests. Here's a list of all quests that drop Mystery Bones:

Quests Mission Type
Slimy Situation Assignment
Hot on Their Trails Assignment
A Stage of Rose and Thorn Assignment
Drive Off the Congalala! Assignment
Balahara of the Sandsea Assignment
Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment
Buggin' in the Desert Optional Quests
The Desert is Demanding Optional Quests
Buggin' in the Scarlet Forest Optional Quests
A Sharp Sort Optional Quests
Beware the Chatacabra Optional Quests
Fire Starter Optional Quests
Every Rose... Optional Quests
Tussle in Pink Optional Quests
Sand Sea Surges Optional Quests
Forest Outlaw Optional Quests

All missions above require you to eliminate a fearsome beast, including starter monsters like Chatacabra, Lala Barina, and Congalala. While you can't replay Assignments (they're a part of the main storyline), you can participate in the Optional Quests as often as you want.

All Monsters with Mystery Bones

The Small Monster species provide more chances to collect Mystery Bones. These creatures usually don't have missions tied to them, but you can spot them while out in the wild. The monsters below are one of the few that drop these valuable bones:

  • Bulaqchi - Windward Plains
  • Porkeplume - Iceshard Cliffs and Wyveria
  • Rafma (Alpha) - Iceshard Cliffs and Wyveria

You can look for Small Monsters through their pink diamond icons on the map.

They won't put up as much of a fight compared to bigger creatures; however, they may still retaliate against you.

Monster Hunter Wilds Mystery Bone locations

When looting Bonepiles during the early stages of Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll likely farm a ton of Mystery Bones. On the other hand, I've noticed that the chances get lower during the endgame as you will uncover higher-tier bones. So, if you're just starting out in the game, you can look for Bonepiles in these regions:

  • Windward Plains
  • Scarlet Forest
  • Oilwell Basin
  • Iceshard Cliffs
  • Wyveria

Use the Filter Icons to place waypoints on any Bonepiles. Then, you can simply loot it to hopefully get some Mystery Bones.

How to use Mystery Bones in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can use Mystery Bones in your Weapon Bone Tree or to craft the Bone Armor set. You'll need the bones to unlock the first tier in the Bone Tree, paving the way to high-damaging upgrades.

The Bone Armor mandates five Mystery Bones to craft the whole set, including its Greaves, Coil, Vambraces, Mail, and Helm. It'll have a bit more defense than Hope, Leather, and Chainmail. However, I suggest aiming for the other starter sets from the monsters, given that they have much more protection.

A Prize Held High trophy

Trophy hunters will have a field day with Monster Hunter Wilds' extensive achievement collection. Most will have you knocking heads with many beasts, but a few focus on capturing critters. Here's how to capture a creature that bears an Ancient Wyvern Coin in Monster Hunter Wilds.

All Ancient Wyvern Coin creature locations in Monster Hunter Wilds

To earn the A Prize Held High trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must look for Curioshell Crabs in Windward Plains' Zones 13 and 6. While you're traveling around these areas, Alma might ask, "Is that a creature holding something?" This is a clear indicator that a creature with an Ancient Wyvern Coin is close to you. It may not always happen, but try to look around these zones to see if this notification pops up.

Zones 13 and 6 highlighted in Monster Hunter Wilds map
Screenshot by Destructoid

If Alma notifies you, you should see a crab with a coin. Use your Capture Net to get it, which you may have already utilized during Dareel's Research Report quest. Wait until the target illuminates a yellow color, and you should be all set to get the trophy.

Those using Zone 13 must venture into the cave entrance, which was shown during Monster Hunter Wilds' weapon tutorial phase. This creature may have other locations, as it has known habitats in the Plains, Forest, Basin, Cliffs, and Wyveria. However, the one for the trophy seems to spawn more in the Windward Plains.

You can exchange rare items with the Ancient Wyvern Coin from the crab. Scarlet Forest's Wudwud Hideout utilizes this currency, which you can use when speaking to Gawdygog. Provide this Wudwud with 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins for materials like the Dalthydon Wool, Great Hornfly, and Monster Chili. Although you'll only earn one coin for Monster Hunter Wilds' A Prize Held High trophy, you can continue to collect more of them through missions or random drops from monsters.

Yian Kut Ki in Monster Hunter Wilds

Although you'll spend quite a lot of time taking down monsters, you'll sometimes have to take the non-violent route by capturing them. One task, in particular, requires you to get the Yian Kut-Ku during the New Ecosystems quest. Here's how to complete this Monster Hunter Wilds quest.

How to get Yian Kut-Ku in MHW New Ecosystems quest

The Shock Trap and Tranq Bomb are the key items you need to capture the Yian Kut-Ku. You can prepare yourself beforehand by making the Shock Trap with a Trap Tool and Thunderbug Capacitor, as well as a Sleep Herb and Parashroom for the Tranq Bomb. If you've already set off on this quest or don't have the ingredients, don't worry. The items are sent to you via the Supply Items inventory, including some First Aid Meds and a Large Dung Pod.

When you initially encounter the Yian Kut-Ku, other creatures will be nearby to stir up some trouble. Use a Large Dung Pod to scare them away, allowing you to keep your focus on the primary target. The goal is to inflict enough damage until the Yian Kut-Ku starts limping (you might need to hit it a few times more afterward). Veteran Monster Hunter players will likely know all about this strategy, mainly since a similar method is used in World.

Once the Yian Kut-Ku starts limping, it's crucial to stop attacking to avoid killing it. Alma will warn you to prevent this from happening. Now, set up the Shock Trap and wait for the Yian Kut-Ku to get caught. Unleash two Tranq Bombs to make it fall asleep. If it doesn't work, you must inflict more damage on the monster to weaken it and repeat the process.

You may have some trouble knocking out the monster with the tranquilizer, as I did, which will cause them to run away. I found it best to attack the creature until Alma orders you to set up the trap. If you run out of materials, you can look around the Scarlet Forest or return to Base Camp to make more Shock Traps and Tranq Bombs. Once the Yian Kut-Ku falls asleep, the New Ecosystem quest will conclude, rewarding you with some new handy items.

All Yian Kut-Ku Quest Rewards

If you want to see what rewards the Yian Kut-Ku offers, here's what you can expect:

  • Yian Kut-Ku Certificate S
  • Kut-Ku Scale+
  • Kut-Ku Carapace
  • Kut-Ku Wing
  • Kut-Ku Ear
  • Giant Beak
  • Inferno Sac
  • Bird Wyvern Gem
  • Monster Keenbone
  • Advanced Armor Sphere
  • Mystery Orb - Sword
  • Mystery Orb - Armor

Similar to other monsters, you can use these materials to craft a weapon upgrade. Catch up with Gemma to unlock the new enhancement in the Yian Kut-Ku Tree.

Hunter in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you look at your Crafting collection, you'll notice three healing items: Potion, Mega Potion, and First-aid Med+. The first two will be easy to acquire, but the last can be tricky to produce. Find out how to get a First Aid Med in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to find First Aid Meds in Monster Hunter Wilds

The required materials for the First Aid Med include Honey and an already-made vial of First-aid Med+. Initially, I was pretty confused about it since there seemed to be no way of acquiring the potion while in free roam. You can only get a First Aid Med during a quest, where you'll receive a Supply Item at the beginning. Like past Monster Hunter iterations, it's limited to being a quest-related item, meaning it will disappear once you've completed the mission.

Getting First Aid Meds from Seikret Pouch

The game will typically notify you at the quest's beginning, allowing you to open your Supply Items via the Seikret Pouch. You can then transfer the First Aid Med to your pouch to unlock an additional way of healing yourself. It'll restore a small amount of your health, similar to the Potion recipe. While on a mission, you can finally craft more First Aid Meds using Honey. Honey can be found everywhere on the map, so you should have no problem making it.

Although the inventory is relatively restricted, the game will likely restock you with First Aid Meds when starting on another task. However, it should be noted that not every quest will provide you with this particular material. Therefore, I suggest always having Potions or Mega Potions with you. These healing items mandate Herbs, another resource that's in every region.

The Mega Potion should be your primary focus, as it heals more than First Aid Meds and regular Potions. It's best to use the First Aid Meds when you only need a slight health boost or run out of other restorative items.

When you take down your first beast in Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll gain access to the Chatacabra Armor set. The Coil requires a mysterious piece known as the "Sharp Fang," which doesn't seem to drop from this reptilian beast. Find out how to get Sharp Fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to find Sharp Fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can eliminate the following creatures to gather Sharp Fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds:

  • Talioth - Windward Plains
  • Gaijos - Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest
  • Kranodath - Oilwell Basin
  • Piragill - Scarlet Forest
  • Porkeplume - Iceshard Cliffs and Wyveria
  • Guardian Seikret - Wyveria

If you're just starting out in Monster Hunter Wilds, you can get Sharp Fangs early on in Windward Plains. You can find these creatures around Zones 8 and 11, where they often travel in groups. You can use the Filter Icons on the map to narrow down their locations with pink-colored diamond icons.

Talioths map location in MHW
Screenshot by Destructoid

Talioths almost look like dinosaurs, with similar features to velociraptors. Be warned; they will retaliate against you if they are provoked enough. The entire group may try to attack you, but it shouldn't be as challenging as the large monster types. Just deal a few hits to it, and the Talioth should go down in no time.

Group of Talioths in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

Once you've progressed further in the story, you'll start finding the other creatures with Sharp Fangs, from the Kranodath to the Piragill. Although Gaijos spawn in Windward Plains, I've noticed they appear a lot more in the Scarlet Forest. Therefore, it's best to shoot for the Talioth if you're still in the starter region.

Start carving any compatible creatures to gather Sharp Fangs for Monster Hunter Wilds' Chatacabra Armor. However, you'll still need to beat the Chatacabra to collect more monster pieces for the set. Additionally, you can use Sharp Fangs for the Hungerless Charm I Talisman, which offers the Hunger Resistance Skill. This item requires Balahara Scale and Tail monster parts, deriving from A Hunter's Pride Chapter 1-4. If you have too many Sharp Fangs, you can sell them to the Provisions Stockpile to gain 100 Zenny for each one.

Lala Barina in Monster Hunter Wilds

The spider-like Lala Barina is one of the first bosses in Scarlet Forest you'll have to stand against. It'll prove deadly with its blossoming flower, ultimately paralyzing you with its destructive properties. To help you with this fight, here's how to defeat Lala Barina in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to defeat Lala Barina in Monster Hunter Wilds

You'll initially come across Lala Barina in the Chapter 1-3, Forest Findings. From then on, this beast will roam about in the Forest and Wyveria regions or be featured as a boss in the Optional Quests. Before you set off on this endeavor, ensure you eat a meal to gain extra health and stamina.

Lala Barina in MHW
Screenshot by Destructoid

Lala Barina weaknesses and preparations

To better prepare yourself for the battle, here's a list of suitable weaknesses, Status Effects, and items:

  • Elemental Attack Weakness: Fire
  • Effective Status Effects:

    • Poison: Moderately effective
    • Sleep: Moderately effective
    • Paralysis: Little damage
    • Blastblight: Moderately effective
    • Stun: Most effective
    • Exhaust: Moderately effective

  • Effective Items:

    • Fire-based weapons
    • Flash Pods
    • Shock Traps
    • Pitfall Traps

Stunning works best with the Lala Barina, so you can bring a trap to trounce the creature. However, I suggest avoiding the Sonic Bomb since it won't really do you much good in this fight.

All Lala Barina movesets

Lala Barina has three moves you need to look out for:

  • Lala Barina's rose unleashes red-colored elements that inflict paralysis
  • Deals a deadly strike with its stinger
  • Swings around to emit more paralysis attacks

Do your best to avoid its paralysis attacks, which will float around the battlefield when it displays its rose. Getting hit by it once or twice is okay, but it'll eventually take a toll with enough strikes. Those in a paralysis state can shake it off by quickly moving their character around for a few seconds.

Screenshot by Destructoid

Luckily, avoiding Lala Barina's attack is pretty easy since its movements are relatively slow. That'll give you time to strike the weak spots on its leg, face, and claws. You can also go from behind its body if you don't want to get too close to its face. Take advantage of any wounds while in Focus Mode, dealing a hefty amount of damage.

Lala Barina weak spots
Screenshot by Destructoid

The Lala Barina's Tail, aka the rose, is the creature's most significant weak point. Nevertheless, it'll be pretty challenging to target, especially when it spouts out its paralytic effects.

How to collect all Lala Barina parts in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Lala Barina features two breakable parts: its petals and claws. If it breaks off, be sure to grab it when the creature starts to run away or when the quest ends.

Break points in Lala Barina

You can use the Lala Barina body parts to craft weapons, armor, and other equipment with Gemma. Although you'll receive most of them during the battle, you'll have the chance to gain more as a target reward. Here are all the possible items you can get:

Monster Parts Description How to Get
Lala Barina Floret Hair from a Lala Barina. So white and pristine that it could pass for a high quality pelt. Earn as a Target Reward after completing the main mission/Optional Quest
Lala Barina Mucus Body fluid from a Lala Barina. A sticky, red liquid that causes paralysis. Earn as a Target Reward after completing main mission or Optional Quest
Lala Barina Shell The outer shell of a Lala Barina. Has a dark luster and is wonderfully lightweight Target any part of the Lala Barina
Lala Barina Stinger The stinger from a Lala Barina. Sharp as a sword, one thrust is all it takes to subdue prey. Attack the rose part of its body or earn as a Target Reward after completing the main mission/Optional Quest
Lala Barina Claw A claw from a Lala Barina. Vivid scarlet decorates its keen edge. Target Lala Barina's claws near its face
Lala Barina Certificate A Guild certificate awarded to those who have hunted a Lala Barina. Used to make equipment. Earned after defeating the Lala Barina

Speak to Gemma about constructing the complete armor set or weapon upgrade from the Lala Barina Tree. Some parts are also a part of the Talisman recipes, including Blessing Charm I, Dragon Charm I, and Paralysis Charm I.

Hunter in MHW

Although online games are great for co-op gameplay, it's not always ideal when you have to step away. Fortunately, Monster Hunter Wilds players can pause the game, even if they are online. Here's what you need to do to activate it.

How do you pause the game in Monster Hunter Wilds?

You can pause the game while in Online Single Player mode, which can be found on the Title Screen. If you have already logged into a lobby, you can speak to Alma to change it to this mode. You can then pause it by going to the System setting.

Pause Game option in MHW
Screenshot by Destructoid

Once you've selected 'Pause Game' in Monster Hunter Wilds, gameplay will stop as if it were Offline Mode. If you're in the middle of a fight, it will halt any enemy attack and keep your health intact. Though, I still recommend getting out of their line of sight just in case.

You can pick up from where you left off by selecting the Resume option. A Sub-menu is also available here for those who want to access Photo Mode. This mechanic can hide the game's UI and display your photo album. Although you can only pause the game as a solo player, you still have access to multiplayer features. Anytime you need help, you can unleash a SOS Flare to get assistance from fellow players or NPCs.

Does Monster Hunter Wilds have an Offline Mode?

Monster Hunter Wilds does have an Offline Mode. If you look at the PlayStation Store, you'll see that the game includes an 'Online play optional' feature. I tried it myself by turning off my internet, and the game went into Offline Mode immediately after. Mission progression and saves seem to work just fine in this mode, so there's no need to worry about losing content.

MHW Offline Mode

Whenever you want to return to an online lobby, you can speak to Alma or use the Title Screen to change it. It may take a few seconds to reconnect, but eventually, it should return you to your original position.

Palico and Hunter Armor in MHW

Armor plays a crucial part in Monster Hunter Wilds, protecting you against many elemental attacks. We're here to show all Armor Sets and their recipes to help you survive through this courageous journey.

All Hunter Armor Sets and ingredients in Monster Hunter Wilds

You'll initially acquire three sets of Armor with Hope, Leather, and Chainmail. These recipes don't require ingredients, but you must exchange money to obtain different variants. Once you've taken down your first monster, you can start carving its pieces to unlock new Armor Sets in Monster Hunter Wilds. The more you progress through the main campaign, the more you'll discover new enemy types.

While most ingredients come from the monsters you hunt, there are a few resources you can gather through exploration. These include ore and bones scattered throughout the game's regions. Your Hunter's Guild teammate, Gemma, is there to assist you in crafting armor for you and your Palico companion, providing the support you need to succeed. Make sure to seek her out at Base Camp. We'll provide a detailed breakdown of each MHW Armor Set and the ingredients required to craft them. You'll have access to the Low Rank sets initially, then uncover High Ranks during the endgame.

There are likely a few Armor Sets missing from this collection, so I'll be updating this guide as I discover new monsters in the endgame.

Palico mining ore

The Forbidden Lands holds a variety of ore types that can be used for various Armor recipes. However, since the map includes many regions, you may have trouble locating specific ones. We're here to help by showing all ore locations in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to find all ore in Monster Hunter Wilds

You'll find a ton of Mining Outcrop map icons throughout the Forbidden Lands. They'll be marked with their distinct blue icon with a question mark. You can get there quickly by setting the waypoint on it and using the Seikret's auto-run feature.

Sometimes, your Palico will do all the heavy lifting for you and mine it automatically. You may also purchase ore directly from Item Trade shops by exchanging a unique material with the merchant. But, if you want to get it yourself, here's where you can find all ore in Monster Hunter Wilds:

Ore Mining Outcrop Region Locations
Iron Ore Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest
Machalite Ore All regions
Dragonite Ore Iceshard Cliffs, Scarlet Forest, and Wyveria
Earth Crystal Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest
Icium Iceshard Cliffs
Firestone Oiwell Basin
Lightcrystal Wyveria

There may be a few more ores you can collect during the endgame stages, so I'll update this piece once I've discovered them.

How often does ore respawn in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Mining Outcrops respawn every 15 minutes in real time. It's a bit longer than other resources, but you can always search around the map to pinpoint other Outcrops. Plus, if you've exhausted all the mining areas in one region, you can move on to the next one for more options.

How to use ore in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can use ore to forge and upgrade weapons, armor, Talismans, and Palico Equipment. When speaking to Gemma, several ores are a part of armor sets, like Chatacabra, Alloy, and Ingot. Your tool's Weapon Tree also utilizes this resource, providing additional attack strength.

Most recipes require combining ore with monster materials, especially with the Talismans. To farm these resources, you can explore the world or speak to Alma, who can provide you with Optional Quests that are specifically designed for resource gathering.

Blue Mushroom in Monster Hunter Wilds

Crafting is one of the most efficient ways to save Zenny and power up your Hunter journey. However, many items are region-specific, limiting access to specific recipes. Don't worry; we're here to guide you by showing you how to get all Crafting Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to find all Crafting Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds

The starter region, Windward Plains, is rich with beneficial resources, from healing herbs to powerful bugs. You'll open the door to more materials as you progress through Monster Hunter Wilds' main campaign, unlocking more locations for you to discover. A select few Crafting Materials will be easy to acquire, as Arthur will put them up for sale via the Base Camp's Provisions Stockpile.

Completing missions will also provide you with goods, often rewarding you with restorative items. Alternatively, you can find them yourself through standard exploration with the map's Filter Icons section. Let's break down all the methods you can use to get each Crafting Material in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Crafting Material Effects How to Get
Antidote Herb The primary ingredient for antidotes Found in most regions
Bitterbug Broth Bitterbug essence that has innate healing abilities Capture Bitterbugs at Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, and Oilwell Basin
Blastnut Needed to make Sticky Ammo Found at Oilwell Basin

Devil's Blight Add to a barrel bomb for stronger blasts Found at Wyveria and Oilwell Basin
Dragonfell Berry Used to craft Dragon Ammo Found in most regions

You can use your Slinger to gather most materials, whether on foot or while riding your Seikret. Remember, some resources are region-restricted, including cool-temperature items for Oilwell Basin. The Chillshroom is a must-have in a heated environment, similar to Iceshard Cliff's Hot Pepper item.

Other Monster Hunter Wilds' Crafting Materials require you to do some crafting first. For instance, you'll need an Ivy and Spider Web to make a Net. It'll probably take a bit of time to gather every item, and you'll likely need to complete the main campaign to truly experience everything the game has to offer. Given the vastness of Monster Hunter Wilds' expansive map, there might be a few elusive items that didn't make it onto this list. I'll update this guide if I discover any new resources in the Forbidden Lands.

Samin in Monster Hunter Wilds

While most monsters are easy enough to see, the Endemic Life creatures offer a challenge through their smaller sizes. The Dapperwing, in particular, will be hard to spot, especially in the vast greenery of Scarlet Forest. Find out where to find the Dapperwing in Monster Hunter Wilds.

All Dapperwing locations in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Dapperwing can be found in Zones 2 and 3 at Scarlet Forest. Unlike the Tracktail Lizard from Dareel's Research Report quest, you'll likely need to look up to see them flying around. They'll be pretty challenging to spot as their green coloring blends in with the surrounding vegetation. However, you can sometimes take notice of their vibrant color palette when they're trying to court a female (they almost look like birds with a tail.)

Zones 2 and 3 in MHW Scarlet Forest

I've generally found them sitting on tree branches and vines near water, but you may be able to locate them elsewhere. If they are too high up, I suggest aiming your Capture Net at them and moving for a better angle. When ready for a shot, the net's capture radius will illuminate yellow, so try to hit that sweet spot.

If it doesn't work, you'll likely need to travel to another area or wait for the Dapperwing to move. I've noticed that multiple groups tend to spawn around each compatible zone, giving you more chances. Once you've captured the creature, go to Samin in the Windward Plains' Base Camp. You only need one to complete the Samin's Research Project quest, but you can collect more to farm additional Guild points.

Samin will reward you with crafting materials, including 10 Blue Mushrooms and five Honey. You'll use Honey often to conjure up Mega Potions and Blue Mushrooms for boosted effects. You can also collect more Endemic Life creatures for the Monster Hunter Wilds collection. Scarlet Forest showcases plenty of critters within this class, including Vigormantle Bug, Paratoad, and Wedge Beetle. Acquire them to gather more research and Guild points for your group.

Gemma in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you want to give yourself a fighting chance in Monster Hunter Wilds, you can equip a Talisman for a handy new skill. You'll have a range of options tailored to your unique playstyle. To help you with this decision, here's a Monster Hunter Wilds Talismans tier list.

Best Talismans in Monster Hunter Wilds, ranked

The Smithy Gemma offers a diverse array of tools, including weapons, armor, and Palico equipment. While most of these gear provide unique skills of their own, you can attach a Talisman to gain an additional ability. We're here to rank all the Talismans in Monster Hunter Wilds, starting with the best of the best in the S Tier and ending with the lower grade C Tiers.

S Tier

Hope Charm in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

Talismans Skill Info
Blessing Charm Divine Blessing: Has a predetermined chance of reducing the damage you take
Defense Charm Defense Boost: Increases defense and also improves resistance at higher levels
Guard Charm Iron Skin: Grants protection against defense down
Hope Charm Recovery Up: Increases the amount recovered when restoring health
Self-Improvement: Attack and defense increase as time passes while on a quest (30 minute maximum limit)
Bleed Charm Bleeding Resistance: Grants protection against bleeding
Recovery Charm Recovery Up: Increases the amount recovered when restoring health
Speed Heal Charm Recovery Speed: Speeds healing of recoverable damage (the red portion of your health bar)
Fitness Charm Constitution: Reduces stamina depletion when evading, blocking, or doing other actions
Surge Charm Stamina Surge: Speeds up stamina recovery
Chainblade Charm Flayer: Makes it easier to inflict wounds. Deals additional non-elemental damage when inflicting enough damage
Evasion Charm Evade Window: Extends the invulnerability period when evading

When it comes to the S Tier, you'll gain the most advantages through the Talismans' robust capabilities. Each one will get you through the game's brutal battles, boosting health, defense, stamina, or evasion. Choosing one will all depend on your playstyle, whether you favor speed over defense or a player who wants maximum health.

The Hope Charm may be the best Talisman in Monster Hunter Wilds, as it is one of the few that grants two abilities. However, there are still a lot of excellent choices here, including Chainblade's accessible wound attacks or the Bleed Charm's protection for bleeding.

A Tier

Fire Charm in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

Talismans Skill Info
Fire Charm Fire Resistance: Increases fire resistance and improves defense at a higher level
Dragon Charm Dragon Resistance: Increases dragon resistance and improves defense at higher levels
Sleep Charm Sleep Resistance: Reduces the duration of sleep
Stun Charm Stun Resistance: Reduces the duration of stun
Escape Charm Bind Resistance: Grants protection against webbed status and frostblight
Marathon Charm Marathon Runner: Slows down stamina depletion for actions that continuously drain stamina (dashing)
Hungerless Charm Hunger Resistance: Reduces maximum stamina depletion over time
Leaping Charm Evade Extender: Increases evade distance
Sheathe Charm Quick Sheathe: Speeds up weapon sheathing
Windproof Charm Windproof: Grants protection against wind pressure
Tremor Charm Tremor Resistance: Grants protection against ground tremors
Impact Charm Flinch Free: Prevents knockbacks and other reactions to small damage
Glutton's Charm Speed Eating: Increases meat-eating and item-consumption speed

While the S Tier Talismans are the epitome of excellence, the A Tier shines in specific situations that arise frequently. For example, you'll go against many fiery fiends, where the Fire Charm becomes an indispensable ally. But, of course, it's not so handy when you're fighting against a non-fire monster, so you'll likely need to switch it up to acquire a better skill.

The A Tier also excels in exploration, especially with the Marathon Charm, which helps with dashing. Another one I found beneficial is the Glutton's Charm, a Talisman that quickens the pace of the gradual item-consuming speed.

B Tier

Friendship Charm in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

Talismans Skill Info
Water Charm Water Resistance: Increases water resistance and improves defense at higher levels
Thunder Charm Thunder Resistance: Increases thunder resistance and improves defense at higher levels
Ice Charm Ice Resistance: Increases ice resistance and improves defense at higher levels
Poison Charm Poison Resistance: Reduces damage while poisoned
Paralysis Charm Paralysis Resistance: Reduce duration of paralysis
Blast Charm Blast Resistance: Grants protection against blastblight
Survival Charm Survival Expert: Extra health is recovered from environmental interactables
Grit Charm Heroics: Increases attack power and defense when health drops to 35% or lower
Descent Charm Ambush: Temporarily increases damage to large monsters with a successful Sneak Attack
Friendship Charm Wide-Range: Allows the effects of certain items to affect nearby allies
Maintenance Charm Tool Specialist: Reduces the recharge time for specialized tools
Extension Charm Item Prolonger: Extends the duration of some item effects
Botany Charm Botanist: Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items you gather
Geology Charm Geologist: Increases the number of items you gain at gathering points (bonepiles)

The B Tier Talismans play into niche experiences that may not come up as often as A Tier. Poison-based enemies, for instance, don't appear as frequently as fire-based ones, so you'll only need to use them for specific situations. This tier also enhances particular playstyles, including those who thrive in teams, sneak attacks, or scavenging.

If you enjoy collecting plenty of herbs, the Botany Charm will be perfect for you. But, if you're more of a bonepile gatherer, go for the Geology Charm.

C Tier

Mushroom Charm in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

Talismans Skill Info
Foray Charm Foray: Increases attack power and affinity against large monsters affected by poison or paralysis
Intimidator Charm Intimidator: Reduces the chance small monsters will attack after spotting you (has no effect on specific creatures)
Bombardier Charm Bombardier: Increases the damage of explosive items
Mushroom Charm Mushroomancer: Lets you digest mushrooms that would otherwise be inedible and gain advantageous effects
Light Eater's Charm Free Meal: Gives you a predetermined chance of consuming a food or drink item for free

Compared to the rest of the Monster Hunter Wilds Talismans tiers, the C Tier items aren't the most helpful. I'm not saying they are bad choices, but they just don't have enough advantages like the other items. Take, for example, the Intimidator Charm, which reduces the chances of tiny monsters spotting you. Although it's nice to avoid any unnecessary battles, I never really had any problems with these particular monsters.

The Mushroom Charm is another not-so-great Talisman since there aren't many benefits to consuming mushrooms. You can rely on other items to improve your performance, so it's best not to waste your Talisman slot for this charm. Nevertheless, you can still equip the ones in C Tier if they genuinely benefit your playstyle. Don't let this lower-tier grading deter you from choosing it.

Dareel in Monster Hunter Wilds

Although you'll spend most of your time defeating monsters, you'll sometimes need to preserve life rather than take it. The Dareel's Research Report quest is a perfect example, as you capture Tracktail Lizards. We're here to show where to find these creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to find Tracktail Lizards in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can begin Dareel's Research Report sometime during Chapter 1-5. A marker for it appears at the Plains Base Camp, leading you to Dareel's location. He'll only provide a vague description of the Tracktail Lizards' whereabouts, but fortunately, there's a way to narrow them down. These Endemic Life creatures will be in Windward Plain's Zones 11 and 12, where groups often travel around the desert.

Tracktail Lizard locations in MHW
Screenshot by Destructoid

Tracktail Lizards tend to show up more in the sandy dunes of the Plains, so don't waste your time looking around any grassy or wet areas. I've had the most luck with Zones 11 and 12, but these creatures are a bit tricky to spot. Compared to other monsters, they are tiny and move swiftly around. Use your binoculars to locate them more efficiently.

When you've finally tracked a Tracktail Lizard, equip your Capture Net and crouch down. Luckily, these creatures won't get scared when you're nearby. I still recommend moving slowly, though, to reduce the risk of them running away. As long as you've captured one lizard, you'll complete Dareel's Research Report quest in Monster Hunter Wilds.

You'll unlock a new species for the Expedition Command tent, found at Windward Plains' Base Camp. The Samin's Research Report side quest will also be available, taking you on another Endemic Life adventure. Keep in mind that these particular critters cannot be used to make armor, as you can only capture them alive. However, they still have some uses for crafting, including the Flashflies' flash bomb effect.

Customized Seikret in MHW

At the start of your MHW journey, you'll have the freedom to deck out your character and Palico. But, when it comes to your mount, you won't have the power to personalize it initially. Fortunately, this opportunity will arrive later, and we're here to show you how to customize Seikret.

How to unlock Seikret Customization in Monster Hunter Wilds

You'll unlock the Monster Hunter Wilds' Seikret Customization feature after you complete Chapter 1-5: Pursuit of Solitude. When the Elder gives you full access to Kunafa village, you'll see an optional task that enlists you to speak to Nona. Talk to her to begin personalizing your Seikret mount. This mechanic is much more intricate than the Seikret Decoration mode, which only has limited options.

Seikret Customization map location

Like character customization, you can tweak multiple factors with Seikret, specifically with its colors and patterns. This includes the inner and outer feathers, allowing you to mix and match with different colors. You can also have two different eye colors if you want a unique spin on its build.

Once satisfied with the coloring, you can move on to the saddle and pendant type. Keep in mind that these are merely cosmetics, so you can choose any items to get the preferred style you want. Last but not least is the option to change its name, which is limited to 15 characters.

Customizing Seikret in MHW
Screenshot by Destructoid

The other section in the Seikret Customization summarises the mount's essential features, but I recommend sticking to the first page to access all content. You'll receive the Ride-or-die Companion trophy afterward, rewarding you for your decorating efforts.

How to change Seikret appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you ever want to change the appearance of your Seikret in MHW, go to the Windward Plains' Kunafa village or visit your Tent. Upon completing the Pursuit of Solitude quest, you'll now see the Seikret Customization option in the Base Camp.

Changing the mount's appearance at Kunafa can be more challenging since the game often locks you out of free-roaming exploration. You'll likely need to progress further in the main campaign to revisit Nona. But if it's too complicated, just use your Tent to access it easily.

Fishing in MHW

When you enter the vast world of Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll receive a fishing rod and basic materials. While this activity might initially seem a bit perplexing due to its minimal instructions, don't fret. We're here to guide you by showing you how to lure and fish in MHW.

Monster Hunter Wilds fishing guide

The first thing you need to do for MHW's fishing activity is find a suitable fishing spot where you can clearly see critters swimming. There aren't too many bodies of water in the Windward Plains (aka the starting region), but you can utilize a small pond on the map's northern side.

Fishing spot in Windward Plains

Once you've found a fishing spot, equip your fishing rod from your Item Bar and cast your line. You'll need to lure the fish over by moving/jigging your line. Although it may seem like you're going to scare the fish away, critters are actually more enticed when they see something moving about. Each fish reacts differently to specific motions, so try to see what type of movement attracts them more. You may also change your lures via the Item Bar to attract other critters (you'll unlock more lures as you progress through the story). Additionally, you can use your Capture Net to gather critters if you feel like trying a new approach.

Luring a fish in MHW
Screenshot by Destructoid

Based on my experience, it's best not to cast your line directly on the fish, as this does seem to spook them. Try to cast it in their line of sight and then move around to get their attention. It takes some patience, but you can always try again when it doesn't work in your favor. If it's successful, a critter will swim over to you immediately, and you can reel it in using the same button you used to cast it. Watch out for debris to ensure it doesn't disrupt the process.

When you venture into Scarlet Forest, you'll find many more places to fish. This destination holds many spots, including one right at camp.

While at the Base Camp, you can participate in Kanya's Fishing: Life in Microcosm side quest, which provides some helpful tips on this activity. The mission rewards you with five Sushifish Scale, five Honey, and 20 Guild Points. In return, you can start making fish-based recipes to cook up excellent meals for your Monster Hunter Wilds journey. You should also check back with Kanya during the endgame stages to unlock more fish types and lures.

Hunter cooking up a meal in Monster Hunter Wilds

Before you head out on your monster-hunting escapades, you should always consume a meal to raise your stamina and health. You'll survive much longer through this method, similar to past Monster Hunter iterations. In this guide, we'll go over the best meals to eat in Monster Hunter Wilds.

What are the best meals in Monster Hunter Wilds?

You'll collect resources for meal recipes throughout your adventures, whether from Tom's Ingredient Center or villagers. Rations are required to cook these dishes, and you can get them for free at your Base Camp. Meat, Fish, and Veggies will always be provided, giving you standard buffs for effects. However, if you want to improve its stats, you must add an ingredient. Let's dig into the best meal combinations to eat in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Veggies and Droolshroom

Veggies and Droolshroom

  • Health: +50
  • Stamina: +150
  • Defense: +2
  • Elemental Resistances: +3
  • Effect Duration: 50 minutes
  • Food Skill: Black Belt Meal (Lo)

The Veggies and Droolshroom is one of the best early meals you can make, providing a total of five buffs. You'll discover Droolshrooms while exploring Scarlet Forest, which is found near the Wudwuds. Combining the ingredients provides the Black Belt Meal, a buff that reduces stamina depletion.

Meat and Kunafa Cheese

  • Health: +50
  • Stamina: +150
  • Attack: +2
  • Effect Duration: 50 minutes
  • Food Skill: Defender Meal (Lo)

As you embark on your journey in Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll find yourself aiding the residents of Kunafa Village. In return, they'll share their renowned cheese, unlocking the Defender Meal. This buff increases your survivability by occasionally reducing the damage you've taken in a battle.  

Fish and Mud Shrimp

  • Health: +50
  • Stamina: +150
  • Defense: +4
  • Effect Duration: 50 minutes
  • Food Skill: Tumbler Meal (Lo)

For those seeking a robust defense, the Fish and Mud Shrimp meal is the answer. This ultimate seafood dish, with its additional stat points and Tumbler Meal buff, makes it easier to survive through the game's many intense showdowns. You'll find the Mud Shrimp at Oilwell Basin, extending your evasion's invulnerability.

Fish and Sild Garlic

  • Health: +50
  • Stamina: +150
  • Defense: +4
  • Effect Duration: 50 minutes
  • Food Skill: Moxie Meal (Lo)

As you progress further in Monster Hunter Wilds' main campaign, you'll be introduced to Sild Garlic, another helpful ingredient that boosts a meal's duration. It has qualities similar to Droolshroom but with slightly more defense. Sild Garlic also boasts the Moxie Meal, a Food Skill that prevents fainting (at least once) when you take in a substantial amount of damage.

Veggies and Fluffy Egg

  • Health: +50

World's Downy Crakes have returned in Monster Hunter Wilds, expanding the Endemic Life monster collection. They'll leave behind delicious Fluffy Eggs, which includes the Caprice Meal buff. Combine it with Veggies to gain a temporary attack boost randomly.

MHW playable character wearing Chatacabra armor set

Whether you're new to the Monster Hunter series or returning, understanding its complex armor system can be quite challenging. So, if you need some tips on choosing the right gear, here are the best starting armor you can use in Monster Hunter Wilds.

What are the best early Armor Sets in Monster Hunter Wilds?

When you first begin your journey into Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll be introduced to various types of armor, including Hope, Leather, and Chainmail. Although they offer some pretty decent buffs, you can do a lot better with specific upgrades. Let's break down what starter Armor Sets are the best.

Chatacabra Armor Set

  • Defense: 6
  • Fire Res: 1
  • Water Res: 2
  • Thunder Res: -3
  • Ice Res: -1

The Chapter 1-1 quest, Desert Trotters, pits you against the deadly Chatacabra monster. Bring them down to unlock Chatacabra materials at the Smithy, providing you with much more defense. Each piece offers a substantial +6 Defense and resistance to specific elements, such as Water and Fire. Some materials also include a Speed Eating buff that moderately increases eating speed.

By Chapter 1-2, you'll discover another large monster, the Quematrice. Like the Chatacabra, it provides +6 Defense with its distinct Helm, Mail, Braces, Coil, and Greaves. Items such as the Quematrice Braces and Helm harness a Flinch Free skill, which reduces the risk of knockbacks from enemies. Quematric Armor Sets are great for fiery fiends, as most materials offer Fire Resistance.

When you unlock the Scarlet Forest region, you'll encounter the Congalala monster. It'll offer slightly more defense than the Chatacabra, Quematrice, and Alloy sets.

Other materials also include Stench Resistance to reduce stench duration by 50 percent.

You'll also gain the Free Meal and Item Prolonger skills to increase your chances of earning free food and extend item effect durations.

How to get all your Deluxe Edition DLC in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you purchased any special editions of Monster Hunter Wilds such as the Deluxe Edition or Premium Deluxe Edition, you probably want to get your hands on your special DLC as soon as possible. Here is how you can get all your Deluxe Edition DLC content in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to redeem Deluxe Edition bonus content

In order to get your Deluxe Edition DLC content in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need to visit the Palico Conut at your base camp which runs the Support Desk. You cannot access Conut until you complete the early introduction quests for Monster Hunter Wilds and gain access to roam the base camp.

The earliest in which you can access Conut and get your bonus content is immediately after the prologue quest in which you save the brother and have to fight your first real monster: a Chatacabra. Aftward, you will head back to base camp and after a brief segment of dialogue will have full access to roam around the camp. From the entrance to the camp, take a left and look on the right and you will see a white Palico standing ontop of a crate. This is Conut, who runs the Support Desk at base camp.

Approach Conut and interact with him ('F' key by default for PC) and choose "I'd like to request support." which will open the Support Desk menu. From here, select Claim Content at the bottom of the menu. You must be connected to the internet for this part to load, but it should then display all the digital DLC content you have access to. Select them each one-by-one then hit the 'F' key twice to Claim Contents on each of the DLC you are trying to redeem. Keep in mind you can only redeem each DLC content once!

Once you've redeemed the DLC, visit your Tent where you can change your cosmetic options and outfit and you should see all of your newly redeemed DLC content available to choose!

How to access multiplayer in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nothing quite beats slaying monsters with your friends, so of course multiplayer has made a return in Monster Hunter Wilds. Here's the fastest way to access multiplayer in Monster Hunter Wilds as well as how the multiplayer mode works.

How to unlock multiplayer

After completing the initial prologue mission that has you save the brother and defeat your first monster, the Chatacabra, you will unlock access to the base camp as well as multiplayer. In order to start multiplayer, visit Felicita, the Squad Information Counter. She will allow you to create Lobby or a Squad and start participating in multiplayer.

The fastest way to reach Felicita and unlock multiplayer is to head straight forward from the entrance of the base camp and you will see her sitting in front of the main tent.

How multiplayer works in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, multiplayer works by first creating a Lobby. Creating a Lobby will turn your base camp area into a multiplayer hub, where you can invite friends to bring them into a shared instance of your world where you can talk and make plans to group up. Each Lobby can hold up to 100 players total, but only 16 other players at a time will show up at the base camp visually, though you can affect who shows up by grouping with them.

From here, if you want to group up, you will need to form a Link Party. A Link Party can hold up to four players and forms a dedicated chat channel between those players. When a party member accepts a quest, all members in the Link Party will get the invite to that quest. Furthermore, returning from a quest or adventure will keep the Link Party intact when you return to base camp.

Inside a Link Party, you can also invite members to start an Environment Link. You can then share the same environment with other players, allowing you to tackle investigations together. Some story missions may need to be completed solo before you can create an Environment Link.

Regardless of whether you're in a Lobby or Link Party, you can use an SOS Flare at any time to play wither other players as well.

What are Squads?

Squads are essentially mini-guilds in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can create or join a Squad at any time which will give you access to an interface to see all of your Squad members, their Hunter Rank, current activity, if they are online, and more. You can also use this interface to quickly and easily setup Squad-based Lobbies and even Link Parties.

Each Squad can have 50 members at a time, and you can be a member of up to 8 Squads at once. In this regard, Squads act more similarly to Linkshells from Final Fantasy XI than standard guilds which only allow you to be in one at a time!

Monster Hunter Wilds Bulaqchi

Early on in Monster Hunter Wilds you'll gain access to a quest to Slay 12 Bulaqchi, a bug-like monster. Here's the best place to find and slay Bulacqchi in the Plains for the Buggin' in the Desert quest in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to find and Slay Bulaqchi in Monster Hunter Wilds

Where to find and Slay Bulaqchi in the Plains

The best place to find and slay Bulaqchi in the Plains map of Monster Hunter Wilds is on the lower levels in between regions 2 and 3 on the map. There are several spots on this lower cavernous level, both in regions 2 and 3 as well as in between the two that spawn groups of Bulaqchi, often in groups of 4-6.

This is essentially on the westernmost side of the map based on the compass, but make sure you navigate down to the lower level as you will not find the Bulaqchi on the upper levels.

Bulaqchi are essentially insectoid-like mosquito-looking monsters except they stay on the ground and do not fly. They travel in groups and will jump on their target in an attempt to suck their blood. The Bulaqchi are classified as Neopterons in Monster Hunter Wilds.

You'll probably need to kill two or three groups of them to reach the 12 required to complete the objective of Slay 12 Bulaqchi which is required for the Buggin' in the Desert quest. Thankfully, these are very easy to kill and will only take a single hit or two to take down, so no real strategy is required to kill the 12 needed for the quest.

After killing the Bulaqchi, make sure you take the time to harvest the carcasses of each of them as they provide the valuable Bulaqchi Shell which can be used to craft various items, or you can sell them them for some quick Zenny.

How to use the Hook Slinger in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you've played Monster Hunter Worlds, you'll be familiar with the Slinger. However, it's been upgraded in Monster Hunter Wilds, adding a grappling hook-like attachment. Here's how to use the Hook Slinger in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to use the Hook Slinger in Monster Hunter Wilds
Screenshot by Destructoid

How to use the Hook Slinger

The new Hook Slinger is connected directly with your Slinger, allowing you to easily hook onto and collect resources like never before as well as interact with the environment in monsters in new and unique ways. By default, you use the Hook Slinger by pulling out your Slinger (the side Mouse Button 4 on PC by default). While you're aiming the Slinger, look at a spot or item you want to grapple into with the Hook Slinger. From here, pushing the 'F' key by default on PC will fire the Hook Slinger.

If you fire the Hook Slinger at resources around the area like Herbs, Ore, Mushrooms, and Bugs, your Hook Slinger will automatically latch onto and collect the resource for you. However, if you're not aimed at a resource and are aiming at just somewhere in the environment, it will fire the Hook Slinger at that exact location.

Here are the controls for using the Hook Slinger by default on each platform:

  • PC: Mouse Button 4 to aim, then 'F' key to fire the hook
  • PS5: L2 to aim, then 'Circle' button to fire the hook
  • Xbox Series X|S: Left Trigger to aim, then 'B' button to fire the hook

You can also use the Hook Slinger to grab onto boulders and yank them down, causing damage to the monsters below. There are also various creatures like the Wedge Beetle that you can find around the Plains and other regions that you can Hook Slinger onto in order to traverse hard-to-reach places.

Finally, you can also use your Slinger and Hook Slinger while mounted on your Seikret in Monster Hunter Wilds. You simply use the same controls as above but can do so while riding on the Seikret. This allows you to easily and efficiently ride around farming resources using your Hook Slinger and Seikret!

How to change weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

In previous Monster Hunter games you were restricted to one weapon at time in the field. In Monster Hunter Wilds, however, you can have an extra weapon sheathed on your Seikret which you can swap to when in the field. Here is how to change weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to change weapons in the field

As long as you have another weapon equipped to your mount (Seikret) in Monster Hunter Wilds, you can swap to that weapon at any time when out in the field in any region, as long as your Seikret is in the field with you. Some missions will keep the Seikret at base camp, in which case you cannot change your weapons in the field.

You can call your Seikret to your location at anytime, with the button to do so being different on each platform. Here is how you call your Seikret on each platform:

  • PC: Hold the 'Tab' key.
  • PlayStation: Hit up on the D-Pad.
  • Xbox: Hit up on the D-Pad.

Once you've called your Seikret, you can change weapons either why mounting it or near it. Doing so will sheathe the weapon you currently have equipped onto the Seikret, and take the one you have stored with the Seikret and make it your primary weapon. Here is how to change weapons on each platform:

  • PC: Hit the 'X' key.
  • PlayStation: Hit right on the D-Pad.
  • Xbox: Hit right on the D-Pad.

A good strategy is to have both a melee weapon like the Great Sword, Hammer, or Lance, as well as a ranged weapon like the Bow, or one of the Bowguns. This will allow you to quickly switch between ranged and melee attacks based on the circumstance, and enable you to take advantage of various environmental actions even if you're a melee player.

How to change equipped weapons at base camp

Now that you know how to change your weapons in the field, you're going to want to know how to change which weapons you can switch between when out on the field. To do so simply head to your tent at base camp and when the tent menu pops up, go right to the second menu screen and choose to change equipment. Here you can equip both your primary weapon as well as the weapon you want stored on your Seikret for easy access when in the field.

Monster Hunter Wilds Chatacabra

The first Large Monster you'll come across in Monster Hunter Wilds is the new amphibian and frog-like Chatacabra. This marks the creature's first appearance in Monster Hunter, so both new and veteran players alike might be wondering how to beat the Chatacabra and break all its available parts.

Monster Hunter Wilds Chatacabra strategy
Screenshot by Destructoid

Monster Hunter Wilds Chatacabra strategy

The key to defeating the Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds is to focus on its long soft tongue. Typically the Chatacabra will use its long tongue to attempt to eat nearby Bulaqchi, the mosquito-like creatures in the Plains region. The Chatacabra tongue is its weak point, but there's also a strategy to exposing the Chatacabra's tongue for easy damage.

If you look at the front legs of the Chatacabra, you'll see multiple ore veins stuck to their forelimbs. Attacking and breaking the ore on the Chatacabra's legs will expose its entire frontal area, allowing you to more easily attack its tongue.

The forelegs of the Chatacabra are also the only two breakable parts of the large monster. As you continue to focus your damage on the ore deposits on the Chatacabra's forelegs, you will eventually break it off, allowing you to then collect Chatacabra Shells for doing so.

In terms of Elemental Attacks, the Chatacabra is vulnerable to Ice and Thunder damage and can be affected by Flash Pods, Shock Traps, and Pitfall Traps. The Sonic Bomb, however, is not effective.

Chatacabra Loot Table

The Chatacabra offers low rank materials when defeating, carving, and breaking forelegs of the large monster. The Chatacabra Shell is the most common equipment material but also the most valuable, with a guaranteed acquisition rate for breaking the forelegs of the Chatacabra. These materials are used to make the Chatacabra armor set.

Material Description Frequency How to Acquire / Drop Chance
Chatacabra Shell Rarity 4 Equipment Material worth 400z. Plating that covers a Chatacabra's forelimbs. A lifetime of licking has left it both smooth and sturdy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Target Reward x1 - 15%
