Seasons and weather play a pivotal role in shaping the dynamic world of *Monster Hunter Wilds* within the Forbidden Lands. Beyond altering the visual landscape, these elements significantly influence gameplay mechanics. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding and navigating the seasons and weather in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Seasons, Explained

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the Forbidden Lands experience two distinct seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game commences in the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh environment, intense weather events, and a scarcity of resources. This scarcity leads to heightened desperation, making monsters more aggressive and more likely to attack each other than during Plenty.

In contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere, teeming with abundant flora and vibrant environmental changes. During this season, smaller monsters are less hostile and less likely to form packs. The abundance of Endemic Life and various plants during Plenty justifies its name, bringing joy to both the villagers in the Forbidden Lands and *Monster Hunter Wilds* players.

Between these seasons, players encounter brief yet intense weather events known as Inclemency. These events amplify the weather's intensity, setting the stage for dramatic confrontations with Apex Predators. For instance, during the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, Hunters face the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a formidable lightning-filled sandstorm. Throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*, unique weather events enhance battles against Apex Predators, adding depth and excitement to the gameplay.

How To Check the Seasons and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds
