Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Details Revealed

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the Forbidden Lands are subject to dynamic seasons and weather conditions that significantly influence both the game's visuals and gameplay mechanics. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding and navigating these elements in the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two distinct seasons that govern the weather and environment of the Forbidden Lands: Fallow and Plenty.

The game begins in the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh environment with severe weather events and a scarcity of resources. This season heightens the desperation, making monsters more aggressive and increasing the frequency of inter-monster conflicts. Players will need to strategize carefully to survive in these challenging conditions.

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a much more welcoming atmosphere with a warmer climate and an abundance of flora. The environment becomes vibrant with colorful changes, and small monsters are less hostile and less likely to travel in packs. During Plenty, resources like Endemic Life and various plants are more readily available, making it a time of celebration for both the villagers and players of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Between these seasons, brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency occur. These events amplify the weather's intensity and set the stage for dramatic confrontations with Apex Predators. An example is the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, where players face the Alpha Doshaguma during a Sandtide—a spectacular lightning-filled sandstorm. Throughout the game, players will encounter various unique weather events during battles with these powerful creatures.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

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

Additionally, Optional Quests in the game are set to specific times of day and seasons, temporarily transporting players to these conditions regardless of the current season in the main game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given the significant impact of seasons on the game's flora and fauna, players might prefer one season over another depending on their objectives. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows players to alter the seasons and weather.

To change the season and weather, players must pitch their tent and rest. Inside the tent, navigate to the BBQ Menu and select the Rest option. Here, players can choose the desired Environment and Time to wake up in, effectively switching the season and weather conditions.

However, resting comes with a cost: 300 Guild Points. This feature is exclusive to High Rank Hunters and cannot be used during an active quest.

Understanding and manipulating the seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can greatly enhance your gameplay experience, allowing you to adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the Forbidden Lands.

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