Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Impact Explained

Seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* add dynamic variety to the Forbidden Lands, significantly impacting both the game's visuals and gameplay. Here's a comprehensive guide on how seasons and weather affect your adventures in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

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

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a much more pleasant atmosphere with warmer weather, an abundance of flora, and vibrant changes to the landscape. During Plenty, small monsters are less hostile and less likely to travel in packs. This season is aptly named as it facilitates easier access to Endemic Life and various plants, making it a time of celebration for both the villagers and *Monster Hunter Wilds* players.

Between these seasons, you'll experience brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events heighten the weather's intensity and set the stage for epic battles with Apex Predators. For instance, during the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, you'll face the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a dramatic lightning-filled sandstorm. Throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll encounter various unique weather events during these Apex Predator encounters.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

The HUD and map in *Monster Hunter Wilds* provide essential information about the current weather and season. The HUD displays icons in the bottom left corner indicating the time of day and season. For more detailed insights, you can access the map and press the prompted button to view the Environment Overview, which gives you specifics 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 be temporarily transported to the designated environment, regardless of the current season in your main game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given that the flora and fauna in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are heavily influenced by the seasons of the Forbidden Lands, you might find it advantageous to switch between Fallow and Plenty depending on your needs. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to change the seasons and weather.

To do this, you'll need to set up your tent and rest. Once inside your tent, navigate to the BBQ Menu and scroll down to the Rest option. Here, you can adjust the Environment and Time settings for when your Hunter wakes up.

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

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

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