The Forbidden Lands cycle through two primary seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by scarce resources, aggressive monsters frequently engaging in territorial disputes, and intense weather events.

Conversely, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more abundant environment. Flora thrives, monsters are less hostile, and resources are plentiful. This season is a boon for both villagers and hunters.

Inclemency, brief but intense weather phenomena, punctuate the seasonal transitions. These extreme weather events often serve as the backdrop for challenging encounters with Apex Predators. For instance, the Sandtide sandstorm accompanies the challenging Alpha Doshaguma hunt. Unique weather effects are common during Apex Predator battles.

Checking the Seasons and Weather

The game's Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the bottom left corner displays icons indicating the current time and season. For a more comprehensive overview, consult the in-game map. Accessing the map and selecting the Environment Overview provides detailed weather and seasonal information.

Optional Quests often feature specific times and seasons. Completing these quests temporarily immerses you in the designated environment, regardless of the current season.

Changing the Season and Weather

The impact of seasons on the environment and creature behavior might make one season more advantageous than another. Fortunately, you can manipulate these factors.

To change the season and time, set up camp and access the BBQ menu. Select the "Rest" option, allowing you to adjust the environment and time before your hunter awakens.

However, resting comes at a price: 300 Guild Points, and it's only accessible to High-Rank Hunters. Resting is unavailable during active quests.

This comprehensive guide covers the seasons and weather systems in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
