"Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Details Revealed"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the dynamic interplay between seasons and weather in the Forbidden Lands significantly influences gameplay, beyond merely altering the game's aesthetics. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding and navigating the seasonal and weather changes in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two distinct seasons that govern the weather patterns in the Forbidden Lands: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins during the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh environment with severe weather conditions and a scarcity of resources. This scarcity leads to a more desperate atmosphere where monsters become more aggressive and frequently engage in combat with each other.

In contrast, the Season of Plenty offers a warmer and more vibrant setting, with an abundance of flora and less hostile small monsters that rarely form packs. This season is named aptly due to the increased availability of Endemic Life and various plants, making it a time of celebration for both the in-game villagers and *Monster Hunter Wilds* players.

Additionally, between these seasons, players may experience brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events amplify the weather's intensity and set the stage for dramatic encounters with Apex Predators. A notable example is the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, where hunters face the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a fierce lightning-filled sandstorm. Such unique weather events add depth and excitement to battles with Apex Predators throughout the game.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Keeping track of the current season and weather conditions is crucial in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. The game's HUD displays icons in the bottom left corner, indicating the time of day and the current season. For a more detailed view, players can access the map and press the prompted button to view the Environment Overview, which provides comprehensive information on the current weather and season.

It's also worth noting that Optional Quests in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are set during specific times of day and seasons. When embarking on these quests, players will be temporarily transported to the designated environment, regardless of the current season in the main game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given that the flora, fauna, and overall gameplay in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are heavily influenced by the seasons of the Forbidden Lands, players might find it advantageous to switch between Fallow and Plenty based on their needs. Fortunately, the game allows you to manipulate the seasons and weather.

To change the season and weather, you need to set up your tent and rest. Navigate to the BBQ Menu within your tent, then select the Rest option. Here, you can choose the Environment and Time at which your Hunter will wake up, effectively altering the current season and weather conditions.

However, resting in *Monster Hunter Wilds* comes with a cost of 300 Guild Points and is only available to High Rank Hunters. Keep in mind that resting cannot be done during an active quest.

Understanding and utilizing the seasonal and weather dynamics in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can greatly enhance your gaming experience. Whether you're strategizing for hunts or simply enjoying the game's immersive world, these elements add a layer of complexity and realism that enriches every aspect of your adventure.
