The dynamic seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds* significantly enhance the gameplay experience within the Forbidden Lands. Here's a comprehensive look at how these environmental factors play a crucial role in your adventure.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two distinct seasons that govern the environment of the Forbidden Lands: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins during the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh climate and intense weather events. During Fallow, resources are scarce, leading to increased aggression among monsters. You'll witness more frequent inter-monster battles, adding a layer of difficulty and unpredictability to your hunts.

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a more forgiving environment with warmer temperatures and an abundance of flora. The atmosphere becomes more vibrant, with noticeable changes in the environment's colors. During Plenty, small monsters are less hostile and less likely to travel in packs. The season lives up to its name with an increased availability of Endemic Life and various plants, making it a time of celebration for both the villagers and players of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Between these seasons, you'll experience brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events amplify the weather's intensity and often set the stage for epic battles against Apex Predators. For instance, the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment challenges you to fight the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a dramatic lightning-filled sandstorm. Throughout the game, you'll encounter various unique weather events during your encounters with Apex Predators.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

To stay informed about the current season and weather, *Monster Hunter Wilds* provides useful indicators within the HUD and map. The HUD displays icons in the bottom left corner, indicating the time of day and current season.

Additionally, Optional Quests in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are set within specific times and seasons. When embarking on these quests, you'll be temporarily transported to the designated environment, regardless of the current season in the main game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given the impact of seasons on the flora and fauna within the Forbidden Lands, you might find it advantageous to switch between Fallow and Plenty depending on your hunting needs. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to change the season and weather.

To do so, you'll need to set up your tent and rest. Once inside your tent, navigate to the BBQ Menu and select the Rest option. Here, you can choose the Environment and Time at which your Hunter will wake up, effectively altering the current season and weather conditions.

However, resting in *Monster Hunter Wilds* isn't free. It costs 300 Guild Points and is only available to Hunters who have reached High Rank. Keep in mind that you won't be able to rest during an active quest.
