In Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest open-world installment of the series, dynamic ecosystems, vast maps, and an in-depth hunting experience are at its core.

Below is a complete quest walkthrough for Monster Hunter Wilds, featuring strategies for all monsters and methods to complete side quests. We hope this guide will help everyone.
【1-1 The Galloping Sandy Wanderer】
After the opening cutscene, you'll arrive at the character creation page. To change the hunter's gender, click on "Default Appearance" and select a female hunter. The "Detailed Settings" option allows for more intricate modifications to individual body parts, while "Auto-Generate Face" helps casual players quickly adjust facial structures.
Introduction
The game's initial storyline is consistent with its public beta version. As the protagonist, or the hunter controlled by the player, you are appointed as a member of the investigation team in the Forbidden Lands. Your mission is to aid the guardians in bringing a group of surviving boys back to their homeland and to defeat the mysterious monster, the White Shadow.
First Hunt: A Desperate Rescue
When players first arrive by boat at the desert area of the Forbidden Lands, they encounter a girl being attacked by a swarm of Sand Dragons. This marks the beginning of their first hunt, as they jump down to assist. In this sequence, there is no need to control the mount; instead, you should survey your surroundings and follow the little girl ahead. Upon reaching a pivotal story point, the girl will find herself trapped.
High-Flying Combat Techniques
Utilize a projector to target the Winged Dragon soaring above. When the icon appears on the monster, press the corresponding key to unleash the projector's explosive shot.

Rescue Mission and Weapon Selection
Next, aim for the Sand Sea Dragon in the sand pit and use the launcher to fire a bomb at it to rescue the little girl. The subsequent chase scene appears tense, but there is actually no need for any controls; just wait until you reach the finish line.
After the storyline concludes, we meet Alma, who is responsible for rescuing the little girl’s brother, while the others head off to set up camp. You can talk to Alma next to the tent to choose a suitable weapon or use some dialogue options to have her recommend a weapon that fits you.
I believe the weapons that are more suitable for beginners are: Great Sword, Gunlance, and Switch Axe, but ultimately, it's best to go with your personal preference.
After selecting a weapon, you can try it out at the wooden barrel nearby to see whether this weapon's attack patterns and combos suit you.
Weapon Customization and Switching
The weapon system allows for freedom in changing loadouts, with the introduction of a new main and sub-weapon system. Players can carry two weapons and switch between them anytime, reducing the necessity to focus solely on the initial choice.
Riding the Eagle Dragon
When approaching the Eagle Dragon, use the corresponding button to ride it. The dragon will navigate to the monster’s location, while players only need to control acceleration and deceleration.
Encountering the Tangle Frog
Upon arrival, you'll find a monster called the Tangle Frog capturing a girl's brother. The Tangle Frog has simple attack patterns primarily involving its two front claws, biting, and a lunging charge. Its movements exhibit noticeable telegraphs, making it relatively easy to confront.
Exploiting Weaknesses
The Tangle Frog's weakness lies in its long, protruding tongue. Attacking this weak point can inflict greater damage, although it comes with increased risks.
Entangled Frog's Vulnerable Parts
The Entangled Frog's two forelimbs are destructible parts. By breaking these parts, you can obtain the rarest material, Entangled Frog's Armor, which has only a 15% drop rate upon normal defeat.
Entangled Frog's Attack Patterns
Right Foreclaw Strike
This attack has a noticeable raising and charging action. The Entangled Frog then strikes the ground with its right claw, causing a knockback effect to players hit by it. Due to the clear wind-up, there is ample time to evade.
Bitten and Tongue Spin
During this attack, the Entangled Frog performs a clear action of sticking out its tongue and opening its mouth. It first takes a bite forward, then spins its tongue around. The wind-up is obvious, so when you see the tongue being extended and the mouth opening, prepare to move away from the creature.
Charge Attack
This charge can be deadly, so ensure you're prepared to dodge or block effectively. Watch closely for winding cues to anticipate its movement.
Entangled Frog's Charge Attack
Before using this move, the Entangled Frog shows a clear charging state. Once you see it charging, immediately dodge to the sides. After it completes the charge, the frog will dash forward, dealing continuous damage.
Ground Slam
The Entangled Frog exhibits a noticeable butt-wiggling charge before using this move. Move to the sides as soon as you see this animation to avoid it. After charging, the frog will leap into the air and slam down toward the front.
Looting Materials
After defeating the Entangled Frog, you can carve several materials from its carcass. Be sure not to forget to collect the materials.
Ending the Quest
Next, follow the guide to approach Alma and others to trigger the cutscene. After everyone returns to the main camp, this quest will conclude.
1-2: The Village Coexisting with Wind Sounds
Talk to Olivia at the campsite, and then follow the prompts to speak with the three NPCs in the campsite. Finally, enter the investigation team's headquarters tent to trigger new events.
Arrive at the campsite entrance and talk to Alma to officially start the quest "The Village Coexisting with Wind Sounds." After this, we do not need to move ourselves; just accelerate and let the dragon take us along.
During the journey, we need to pay attention to the materials displayed on the left side of the screen. From there, we can see what materials are available in the surrounding environment. By using the directional keys, we can directly select these materials and collect them.
Starting Your Adventure in Monster Hunter Wilds
You will reach your destination and collect 3 honey by following the guide. Continue to ride your dragon to the entrance of Wind Sound Village. Upon arrival, you'll learn that the villagers are not welcoming at the moment, and they will take away your riding dragon.
Dealing with Blood Bugs
Next, you need to walk back following the guide. On the way, you will encounter a few Blood Bugs, which are minor enemies. You can easily defeat them.
Returning to the Village
Once you return to the village, speak with Jack at the supply station and Jema at the blacksmith. Then, have a conversation with Alma at the village entrance. Later, you'll witness a team of NPCs sending a distress signal.
Following the Guiding Light
Release the guiding bug as prompted and follow the green guiding light all the way to the rescue location to defeat the Firetail Dragon.
Weaknesses of the Fiery Tail Dragon
The weakness of the Fiery Tail Dragon lies in its neck area. Normal attacks can be somewhat challenging, so it is recommended to first target the breakable parts to create wounds. Once the dragon is down, focus all your attacks on its weak points.
The head and tail of the Fiery Tail Dragon can be broken. Breaking the head guarantees the material Fiery Tail Dragon's Crown, while breaking the tail guarantees the material Fiery Tail Dragon's Tail.
Fiery Tail Dragon's Move Analysis
Tail Swipe
Before launching this attack, the Fiery Tail Dragon will raise its rear. At this moment, sparks will visibly emit from its tail, indicating the attack. When you see the sparks, immediately move away from the direction the dragon's head is facing to avoid being hit.
Tail Slam
The Fiery Tail Dragon also employs a tail slam attack that can deal significant damage. It is crucial to maintain your distance and look for openings during its recovery animations.
| 招式 | 解析 |
|---|---|
| 尾巴掃擊 | 在發動此招前有一個抬高屁股的動作，則需注意保持距離。 |
| 尾巴錘地 | 這招會對地面造成傷害，建議在此期間保持靈活躲避。 |
Firetail Dragon Attacks
Before using this move, the Firetail Dragon will sway its broken bone and raise its tail, then quickly slam it down onto the ground. We have a long reaction time from when we see the tail raised to when it slams down.
Charge
This move has an unclear wind-up; after a brief charge, the Firetail Dragon will directly charge towards the target. Just before reaching the destination, the Firetail Dragon will slam its head onto the ground. Taking advantage of this move's recovery allows you to deal significant damage to weak points.
Head Slam
This move has a noticeable recovery. First, the Firetail Dragon will make a sound while raising its head without moving. Upon seeing this wind-up, quickly move away from the direction it's facing. Once the wind-up ends, the Firetail Dragon will slam its head down, causing area damage.
Front Bite
Details about the Front Bite ability are not provided here.
Inflamma Dragon Combat Techniques and Game Progress Guide
The Inflamma Dragon opens its mouth wide and raises its head. Upon this pre-attack animation, quickly move away from the Inflamma Dragon towards the designated area. After the pre-attack animation ends, the Inflamma Dragon will bite in the direction it is facing.
Spinning Stab
When the Inflamma Dragon is about to use this move, it lowers its head and tail while roaring in preparation. After the pre-attack animation ends, it charges forward in the direction it’s facing, first biting before following up with a tail whip combo.
After successfully defeating the Inflamma Dragon, Isay will return to the desert headquarters to speak with us. At this time, he will officially hand over the mount for us to ride.
