The expansive world of Monster Hunter Wilds is not only vast but also impressively interconnected. One dedicated player, known as -BrotherPig- on the Monster Hunter subreddit, embarked on an ambitious journey to demonstrate just how seamless this connectivity is. They shared a video showcasing their trek from the starting zone, the Windward Plains, across various terrains and zones, all the way to the later areas of the game. This journey, which can be viewed below, spans from sandy dunes to the peaks of the game's final locales. Be warned, though: if you haven't finished the campaign yet, this video contains spoilers.
Did you know there's only 1 loading screen between the Plains and Suja? 9min ride through all zones.

There's just one loading screen, encountered halfway through the journey, as the traveler moves from the Oilwell Basin to the Iceshard Cliffs. The rest of the trip is one continuous run, likely leaving the Seikret mount quite exhausted.
While Monster Hunter Wilds does feature loading screens in other scenarios, such as entering the training grounds, fast traveling, or joining a friend's quest, the overall connectivity of the zones is truly captivating. This seamless experience has given me a deeper appreciation for the intricate network of corridors and passages that link the Forbidden Lands.
