"Monster Hunter Wilds: Seasons and Weather Details Revealed"

Seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* play a pivotal role in shaping the experience within the Forbidden Lands, affecting both the game's visuals and its core mechanics. Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding the impact of seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the Forbidden Lands are influenced by two distinct seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the Fallow season, which is characterized by a challenging environment with severe weather conditions and limited resources. During Fallow, survival becomes more difficult, pushing monsters to become more aggressive and prone to fighting among themselves.

In contrast, the Season of Plenty brings a more favorable climate with a rich abundance of flora and a visually vibrant landscape. This season sees less hostility from small monsters, who also tend to travel less in packs. The increased availability of Endemic Life and various plants during Plenty is a boon for both the local villagers and players of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Between these two seasons, players will encounter brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events heighten the weather's intensity and serve as the backdrop for epic battles against Apex Predators. A notable example is the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, where hunters face the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a dramatic sandstorm accompanied by lightning. Throughout the game, Inclemency events will challenge players with unique weather conditions during encounters with Apex Predators.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Monitoring the seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward thanks to the game's HUD and map features. The HUD displays icons in the bottom left corner indicating the current time of day and season.

Additionally, Optional Quests in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are tied to specific times of day and seasons. When embarking on these quests, you will temporarily enter the assigned environment, regardless of the current season in your main game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given that the seasons in the Forbidden Lands significantly influence the flora, fauna, and overall gameplay, you might prefer Fallow or Plenty depending on your objectives. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to alter the season and weather.

To do so, set up your tent and choose to rest. Navigate to the BBQ Menu, scroll to the Rest option, and you can then select the desired Environment and Time for your Hunter to wake up in.
