Dangers lurk in every corner in Monster Hunter Wilds. Not only do you need to contend with massive beasts that can crush you into a pulp, but you also need to be mindful of environmental hazards whenever the weather changes. Fortunately, our article here should help you as you set about on your trek across the Forbidden Lands. Here’s our Monster Hunter Wilds world map guide that discusses various biomes and weather effects.
Monster Hunter Wilds world map – Regions, biomes, and the dynamic weather system
You’ll get to visit several regions throughout the campaign. While these biomes follow a particular theme seen in previous Monster Hunter titles, Wilds goes the extra mile by having multiple fast travel points and an ever-changing weather system. Here’s a quick summary:
- Most biomes have a main base camp where you can find most of the NPCs and vendors. You might also stumble upon Pop-Up Camps at specific spots on the map. Once you’ve found one, simply talk to a Support Desk or Pop-Up Camp Palico NPC at your base to construct tents in these locations.
- Your main base and Pop-Up Camps act as fast travel points. However, Pop-Up Camps can be destroyed by rampaging creatures. These will be repaired over time, though you can also spend Guild Points to repair them instantly.
- Biomes also tend to have a weather system that alters between three distinct period:
- Plenty – The landscape is brighter and more vivid. There are a lot of resources that you can gather.
- Fallow – Characterized by muted or darker colors, a Fallow period means that there are fewer materials around, though more monsters roam and attack each other due to limited resources.
- Inclemency – The Inclemency period occurs between each Plenty and Fallow transition. This is usually characterized by a calamitous change in the location, such as a natural disaster. This is also the phase when some rarer monster variants appear.
