Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Details Revealed

The dynamic seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* add a rich layer of complexity to the gameplay within the Forbidden Lands. These environmental shifts do more than just change the scenery; they significantly influence the behavior of monsters and the availability of resources, making your hunting experience varied and challenging. Here’s a comprehensive look at how seasons and weather work in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the Forbidden Lands experience two distinct types of seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the Fallow season, characterized by its harsh environment and intense weather events. Resources are scarce during this time, leading to increased aggression among monsters. You'll often witness these creatures clashing with each other more frequently than during other times.

On the other hand, the Season of Plenty offers a stark contrast with its warm and pleasant atmosphere. This season brings an abundance of flora and colorful transformations to the environment. Small monsters are less hostile and less likely to travel in packs. The plentiful resources, including easier access to Endemic Life and various plants, make this season a time of celebration for both the villagers and *Monster Hunter Wilds* players.

Between these seasons, you'll encounter brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events amplify the intensity of the weather, setting the stage for dramatic confrontations with Apex Predators. For instance, during the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, you'll face the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a fierce sandstorm accompanied by lightning. Such unique weather events occur during battles with Apex Predators throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

To stay informed about the current season and weather, *Monster Hunter Wilds* provides helpful indicators within the game. The HUD displays icons at the bottom left corner, showing the time of day and the current season. For a more detailed view, 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 the game are set during specific times of day and seasons. When embarking on these quests, you'll temporarily experience the designated environment, 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 flora and fauna within the Forbidden Lands, you might prefer one season over the other depending on your hunting needs. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to change the season and weather to suit your strategy.

To adjust the season and weather, you need to set up your tent and rest. Navigate to the BBQ Menu within your tent and select the Rest option. From there, you can choose the Environment and Time at which your Hunter will wake up. Keep in mind, however, that resting comes at a cost of 300 Guild Points and is only available to High Rank Hunters. Also, note that you cannot rest during an active quest.

Understanding and utilizing the seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can greatly enhance your hunting experience. Whether you're braving the harsh conditions of Fallow or enjoying the bounty of Plenty, these elements add depth and excitement to every hunt.
