Use Appropriate Weapon (Monster Hunter Wilds Beginners Guide for Survival and Success)
“AI-generated with DALL-E.”
One of the very first steps in Monster Hunter Wilds is choosing the right weapon that goes along with your playstyle; here are some options for you:
Sword and shield: Balanced and beginner-friendly.
Greatsword: High damage-dealing but slogs in terms of maneuverability.
Bow: Melee but great for ranged combat.
Dual blades: Quick attacks and agility close-in.
Try out the practice area and play around with different weapon types, then do it in the wild.
Learn Monster Behavior
Success in Monster Hunter Wilds is determined by the observation and adjustment to the behavior of monsters. Factors that come into play are these:
Attack Patterns: Learn how monsters move and strike.
Weaknesses: Strike at specific body parts for maximum damage.
Enraged: Exercise caution when monsters are rabid.
Knowledge is power; the more you learn about your enemy, the better you will be equipped to kill him
Resource Collection is Vital
It helps in the crafting of weapons, armor, and items. Some examples of important resources include:
Herbs: Mix them with honey and discover a high-grade healing potion.
Mining Nodes: Collect ores with which you can forge stronger gear.
Bones and Monster Parts: Dropped by killed monsters, these are vital for upgrading.
Move about and explore all the time while collecting.
Leverage High Preparation
The difference between success and failure in hunting can be made by preparation just before hunting. Preparations done pre-hunt are:
Meals at Camp: Meals give temporary boosts to health, stamina, and attack.
Pack Your Bags: The potions, traps, and antidotes that one normally needs for that specific hunt should be loaded with.
Check the Field Guide: Find out what strengths and weaknesses the monster has.
Proper preparation saves lives in the wild.
Use the Environment to your advantage
In Monster Hunter Wilds, the environment is more than just the background; it turns into a tool for having an edge. Use it wisely:
Traps: Lure monsters into pitfalls or vine traps.
Interactive Terrain: Knockdown boulders or trigger knocks from environmental hazards.
Climbing and Gliding: Use the terrain for quick escapes or surprise attacks.
A hunter who understands his surroundings will always know how to get an upper hand.
Build and Upgrade Your Gear
Progression in Gear is the title of the game in Monster Hunter Wilds. Smithy is your friend if you visit him often:
Craft Armor: Defense is the priority, followed closely by elemental resistance.
Upgrade Weapons: Use as many materials made from hunts as possible to improve your weapon stats.
Monitor Loadouts; Prepare for different challenges by changing their gear.
Strong gear will be able to turn difficult hunts into manageable ones.
Understand Your Palico Companion
Your Palico buddy does not only look so cute beside you; it also serves as a critical element in your mission. Equip it such that it complements your playstyle, whether you prefer to deal damage, heal, or set traps. Allow that furball to assist you during your hunts.
Practicing patience and adaptation
Every hunt becomes a trial of skill, strategy, and patience. Such failures are part of the learning process, so do not be discouraged by an early defeat. Change your tactics; refine your approach; and try again. The ever-present prospect of hunting persistence is victory.
Best of luck.
