Where To Find Every Pop-Up Camp In The Iceshard Cliffs In Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter has always been known, aside from the great monsters of course, for its wondrous locales. Prepping for a hunt into these areas is half the fun, spending that time eating a meal, getting all your equipment ready, putting together a party and so on. It’s been a staple of the Monster Hunter series from the very beginning.

Monster Hunter Wilds Review: Don’t Think, Just Hunt

Monster Hunter Wilds is a more approachable, if slightly more mindless Monster Hunter.

Until now, of course. With Monster Hunter Wilds, gone is the prep stage, with you being able to jump into a hunt whenever you see a monster, and stop in at any Pop-Up Camp you’ve built. You have to find them first though, and the Iceshard Cliffs are a pretty big area, so let’s go camping.

What Are Pop-Up Camps?

With Wilds wanting you to spend more time in the world, Pop-Up Camps are basically a mini Base Camp. While it lacks the diversity of Base Camp, such as Gemma’s smithing services, it gives you just about anything else you could need, from cooking meals to changing your equipment. After you’ve found a location for a Pop-Up Camp, you can set it up in two different ways:

Heading to the Support Felyne in change of Pop-Up Camps at each Base Camp and choosing the areas to establish these camps from the locations you’ve discovered.
By using the portable Camp set-up kit at any location that a Pop-Up Camp can be built, which calls in a pair of Felynes to build it immediately.

If your Pop-Up Camp slots are full, you can only remove old ones to place new ones back at Base Camp.

Of course, monsters dwell these areas as well, and they don’t take too kindly to hunters setting up camp nearby. If a monster spots your camp, they will almost certainly destroy it. So keep this in mind when placing it, which is indicated by the safety level.

How Many Pop-Up Camps Are There In The Iceshard Cliffs?

Every region has quite a few Pop-Up Camps for you to choose from, more than any region lets you have established at once. In the case of the Iceshard Cliffs, there are seven camps for you to find, though many of them are rather tricky to locate, hidden as they are.

On the opposite end of that, most of them are quite safe as well, far from the reach of the dangerous monsters prowling about. Now you just have to find them.
