By PeytonMar 21,2025

Navigate the dynamic world of *Monster Hunter Wilds’* Forbidden Lands, where seasons and weather dramatically impact gameplay and visuals. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about these ever-changing elements.

Understanding *Monster Hunter Wilds* Seasons

Monster Hunter Wilds SeasonsTwo distinct seasons shape the Forbidden Lands: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by intense weather, scarce resources, and aggressive monsters frequently battling each other. Survival is a constant challenge.

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more abundant environment. Flora flourishes, the atmosphere is pleasant, and smaller monsters are less hostile. This season is a boon for resource gathering, making Endemic Life and various plants readily available. It's a welcome change for both villagers and hunters alike.

Between these seasons, brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency occur. These events heighten the intensity, setting the stage for epic battles against Apex Predators. For example, the Pinnacle of the Pack assignment pits hunters against the Alpha Doshaguma during the electrifying Sandtide sandstorm. Expect more unique weather phenomena when facing Apex Predators throughout your adventure.

Checking Seasons and Weather

Changing Seasons and Weather

The impact of seasons on the Forbidden Lands' flora and fauna might make one season more advantageous than another for specific hunting strategies. Fortunately, you can control the season and weather.

To change the season and weather, rest in your tent. Access the BBQ Menu, select "Rest," and adjust the Environment and Time settings before your hunter wakes up.

Be aware that resting has a cost: 300 Guild Points, and it's only available to High-Rank Hunters. Resting is also unavailable during active quests.
