Summary
- Some players believe Palicoes in Monster Hunter Wilds are too helpful, leading to the nerfing of their abilities through a mod.
- Creator Ultros7 released the “Reasonable Palico Nerfs” mod on Nexus Mods to reduce Palico healing frequency and potency.
- Different versions of the mod are available, including one that nerfs healing potency and frequency to 40 percent and an “unreasonable” file that minimizes Palico utility to emotional support only.
Palicoes are, and always will be, one of the best parts of the Monster Hunter series. The little cat-like creatures are perfect companions and often provide vital support when out on the hunt. Monster Hunter Wilds, in this regard, is no different.

The perfect use for Monster Hunter Wilds’ excellent character creator.
However, while many players are happy to let their furry friends reach their full potential, apparently, some think they’re a little too helpful, and because of this, a mod has already been released, suppressing the abilities of the little helpers.
Monster Hunter Wilds Palicoes Have Already Been Nerfed
While some players have decided to fix Monster Hunter Wilds’ many PC issues or bypass the paywalled character editor through mods, creator Ultros7 has used his abilities to nerf Palicoes through the “Reasonable Palico Nerfs” mod posted on Nexus Mods.
Ultros7’s mod description reads:
“This is a simple mod to nerf the Palicoes in the game, in particular their usage of tools. By default, they heal too often, and too much. This mod mostly reduces the frequency of their heals, as well as the potency.”
There are two core versions of the mod: the “Reasonable Palico Nerfs” version, which reduces healing potency to 40 percent, with Palicoes only healing 1/3 as often, and the “50 Percent Version”. This, as the name suggests, nerfs both the potency of heals and the frequency of heals down to 50 percent.
The mod also includes an “unreasonable” file, which Ultros7 states “nerfs these aspects to the ground,” turning the Palico into nothing more than emotional support.
Personally, I don’t see an issue with the frequency of heals. The only Palico-related healing mod I’d like to see is one that stops them from healing me the second I drink a healing potion. And a second mod that makes them never speak with an English voice ever again wouldn’t go amiss.
