"Monster Hunter: Wilderness" is the latest work under the Monster Hunter IP. There are different environments in the game, and each environment has its own monsters. The environment is not static and can change dramatically over time.
Sharing the role of the changing environment
Changing environment
In the world of "Monster Hunter Wilds", the environment is not static. As time goes by, the environment will change drastically.
Not only hunters and residents everywhere, but also monsters are helpless in the face of the changing environment.
In hunting, how to adapt to changes in the environment and take actions consistent with the environment is a very important point.
Weather changes
Climate can be roughly divided into three types of cycles: "fertile period", "barren period" and "extreme weather". Each climate has unique characteristics.
In each wilderness, these three climates will transform in sequence, forming a rich ecosystem.
The cyclical climate is different in each wilderness. When a certain wilderness is in a barren period, other wilderness may be in a fertile period.
Choosing the wilderness for hunting according to your own purpose and style is also an important part of your strategy.
Period of plenty
A stable period when vegetation flourishes and herbivorous monsters and environmental creatures roam around and breed.
People also left the settlement activities one after another to graze and cut grass and enjoy the blessings of nature.
The activity of monster groups increases, and the ecosystem visible to the eye is also colorful.
Desolation period
It is a harsh period when vegetation is buried by sand and dust, the number of herbivorous monsters decreases, and hungry carnivorous monsters swarm to fight each other.
People rarely leave the settlement, and what is harvested becomes scarce.
Fights between monsters occur frequently and the ecosystem becomes monotonous.
Extreme weather
Depending on the wilderness, extreme weather such as sandstorms may occur, and the environment becomes significantly unstable during special periods.
Although the environment has become more harsh than during the Desolation Period, it also has the meaning of resetting the environment that was abandoned during the Desolation Period and laying the foundation for ushering in the Fertility Period again.
Monsters will also become more active, and some monsters that only appear in extreme weather can be observed.
Environmental Summary and Environmental Change Forecast
The Environment Summary, which can be opened on the wilderness map, allows you to view various information about your current environment in overview mode.
Through the "Environmental Change Forecast" function in the environment summary, you can check the forecast for the appearance and activities of monsters for a period of time in advance.
Utilizing environmental profiles can assist hunting in changing environments.
