Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Details Revealed

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

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two distinct seasons that govern the weather in the Forbidden Lands: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh environment, intense weather events, and a scarcity of resources. This season fosters desperation, making monsters more aggressive and more likely to attack each other compared to the Plenty season.

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer and more pleasant atmosphere, with an abundance of flora and vibrant environmental changes. During Plenty, small monsters are less hostile and less likely to travel in packs. This season is especially rich in Endemic Life and various plants, making it a time of celebration for both the villagers in the Forbidden Lands and *Monster Hunter Wilds* players.

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

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

The HUD and map in *Monster Hunter Wilds* provide crucial information about the current weather and season. The HUD displays icons in the bottom left corner indicating the time of day and season. For a more detailed overview, open your map and press the prompted button to access the Environment Overview, which will detail the current weather and season.

Additionally, Optional Quests in the game are set to a specific time of day and season. When embarking on these quests, you'll be 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 the significant impact of the seasons on the flora and fauna in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you might find it advantageous to switch between Fallow and Plenty depending on your objectives. Fortunately, changing the seasons and weather is possible within the game.

To alter the season and weather, you'll need to set up your tent and rest. Inside the tent, navigate to the BBQ Menu, scroll to the Rest option, and you'll be able to select the Environment and Time you wish to wake up in. However, resting comes with a cost: it requires 300 Guild Points and is only available to Hunters of High Rank. Note that resting is not an option during an active quest.
