Monster Hunter Wilds Players Discover Captured Monsters Will Eventually Just Exit Stage Left

Most people associate Monster Hunter with the thrill of hunting monsters, but capturing them is equally significant. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful interaction that unfolds when they capture a monster and linger nearby.

As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, staying near a captured monster long enough reveals a charming behind-the-scenes moment. The monster, after being captured, simply gets up and leaves, creating a humorous scene reminiscent of a film set wrapping up. After capturing a Nu Udra and waiting, players watched as the giant cephalopod casually departed, sparking light-hearted comments and adding a fun element to the game.

For those curious about the in-game lore behind this phenomenon, it's worth noting that the research team in Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't use giant cages. Instead, they adopt a catch-and-release approach, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the story.

This amusing detail showcases the thoughtful design by Capcom's developers, who chose to include a special animation rather than a simple fade-out. It's particularly amusing to see a monster, now missing several limbs and appendages, scurrying off into the distance. This touch not only adds humor but also provides deeper insight into how Alma and her crew conduct their research.

Patch 1.000.05.00 has recently been released for Monster Hunter Wilds, addressing quest progression issues and fixing bugs. While performance improvements are still in the pipeline, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
