"Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Impact Explained"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the dynamic interplay of seasons and weather in the Forbidden Lands significantly impacts gameplay, beyond merely altering the game's visuals. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding and navigating the seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two distinct seasons within the Forbidden Lands: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh environment with intense weather events and a scarcity of resources. This scarcity leads to desperate times, making monsters more aggressive and more likely to engage in combat with each other than during Plenty.

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more inviting atmosphere, with an abundance of flora and vibrant environmental changes. During this season, small monsters are less hostile and less likely to travel in packs. The abundance of Endemic Life and various plants during Plenty makes it a time of celebration for both the villagers in the Forbidden Lands and players of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Between these seasons, you'll experience brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events ramp up the weather's intensity and set the stage for dramatic battles with Apex Predators. For instance, the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment challenges hunters to face the Alpha Doshaguma during a Sandtide, a fierce sandstorm accompanied by lightning. Throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll encounter various unique weather events during these Inclemency periods while battling Apex Predators.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

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

Additionally, Optional Quests in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are set in specific times of day and seasons. When embarking on these quests, you'll temporarily experience the designated environmental conditions, regardless of the current season in your main game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given the significant impact of seasons on the Forbidden Lands' flora and fauna, you might find it advantageous to switch between Fallow and Plenty depending on your current objectives. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to alter the seasons and weather.

To do this, you'll need to set up your tent and rest. Within the tent, navigate to the BBQ Menu, then select Rest. This option enables you to choose the Environment and Time you wish to wake up in, effectively changing the season and weather to suit your needs.

However, resting comes with a cost of 300 Guild Points and is only available to High Rank Hunters. It's also important to note that you cannot rest during an active quest.

That's everything you need to know about navigating the seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Understanding and utilizing these elements can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.

*Monster Hunter Wilds* is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
