The default health and stamina limits in Monster Hunter Wilds are relatively low. So, how can you boost these maximum values? Below are methods to increase your stamina and health limits in Monster Hunter Wilds. We hope this helps you.
Methods to Improve Stamina and Health
In this game, health (HP) cannot be permanently increased; it can only be temporarily boosted through dining or using potions. Leveling up your character does not raise the health limit. To enhance your survival capabilities, focus on crafting armor with higher defense instead of relying too much on health boosts.
Method 1: Using Potions
Secret Potion can temporarily raise your health limit. The crafting recipe is Enhancer + Mandragora.
Ancient Secret Potion can temporarily boost both health and stamina limits. The crafting recipe is Vitality + Nourishing Essence.
Method 2: Dining
Dining is the primary way to increase health (HP) and stamina, but it is only temporary. The effects will wear off after some time, requiring you to eat again. You can prepare meals through the cooking menu available in your personal camp tent or use the portable campfire from your item inventory to cook anytime, anywhere.
Cooking Essentials for Monster Hunter Wilds
Cooking requires corresponding ingredients, which can be obtained by interacting with NPCs marked with yellow exclamation points for quests. Therefore, it's not advisable to sell the items you gather, as they can be saved for later quest deliveries. Some side missions reward players with high-quality ingredients.
Additionally, perfectly cooked steak can restore health and stamina, as well as increase their maximum limits.
How to Cook
Equip and use a portable campfire, then select the roast option (it consumes raw meat from your inventory, which can be obtained by hunting small monsters). After starting the cooking process, wait for the first flipping moment, and then wait several seconds until the meat turns a cooked color before pressing the 【×/A button】. After that, cut the meat continuously 5 times. If you can slice the meat accurately with the rhythm, you can gain extra cooking rewards.
