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. It returns to many classic settings and features, offering an excellent seamless hunting mode made up of multiple sandbox maps. 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.

Character Creation in Monster Hunter Wilds

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds - Scene 1

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.

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.

Rescue Mission Scene

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.

Weapon Selection

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds Eagle Dragon

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds Tangle Frog

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds Combat Strategy

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.

Entangled Frog Right Foreclaw Strike

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.

Entangled Frog Tongue Spin

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 Charge Attack

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.

Quest Guide Image 2

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.

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.

Encountering Blood Bugs

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.

Talking to Village NPCs

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.

Defeating 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.

Fiery Tail Dragon 1

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 2

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.

Fiery Tail Dragon Attack

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.

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.

Firetail Dragon Attack

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.

Firetail Dragon Charge

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.

Inflamma Dragon Attack

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.

Open the map and move to the upper right corner along the route shown in the image below. Enter the second map, Scarlet Forest, through the indicated location. Upon entering the forest, you will automatically receive the quest Forest Ecological Survey.

Monster Hunter Wilds Mission Guide Image 2

After successfully establishing a camp in the forest during the cutscene, talk to Nat and Eric at the camp to trigger the next node. Follow Eric and the others to the alternative location, and just continue to follow the prompts along the way.

Monster Hunter Wilds Mission Guide Image 3

Triggering the Story

Upon reaching the first destination, a story sequence will be triggered. Continue to follow the guidance to search for the tracks of the creatures. Along the way, you will encounter plenty of Beast Fur. Not far ahead, another cutscene occurs where Eric gets caught by the Stitch Spider. After the story, you will initiate the battle with the Stitch Spider.

Stitch Spider Move Analysis

Single-handed Claw Strike

The spider will first extend one of its arms to charge up. After a few seconds, the extended arm will attack forward at a rapid speed. As soon as you see the wind-up, quickly move sideways to evade. This move is commonly used by the Stitch Spider and may feature a two-hit variant.

Stitch Spider Move - Single-handed Claw Strike

Foreleg Spike

Prior to using this move, the spider will lift one of its legs and stay still for a moment. After the charging state ends, it will slam the lifted leg down onto the ground. As soon as you see the wind-up, move to the opposite side to dodge.

Stitch Spider Move - Foreleg Spike

Tail Stab

The Stinger Spider lifts its rear and reveals its tail spikes, charging briefly before slamming the tail to the ground, causing minor area damage. This is the easiest move to evade, as the wind-up isn't very obvious.

Tail Stab Move

Blooming Red Flowers

After a short charge, the Stinger Spider opens its small red flowers and shoots numerous narcotic red petals backward. Players who come into contact with the petals will accumulate a narcotic status; when the status bar in the upper left corner fills up, they will fall into a state of paralysis and unable to move. Thus, it's crucial to evade the trajectory of the red flowers.

Blooming Red Flowers Move

Double Claw Ground Smash

The Stinger Spider extends its two front claws and begins to charge. A few seconds later, it slams down hard, leaving a reaction time for players. Upon seeing the wind-up, immediately roll to the sides rather than forward or backward.

Double Claw Ground Smash Move

Quest Progression and Key Monsters

After completing the quest, return to the storyline where Nata joins Olivia's team.

Speak with Gemma at the camp and the blacksmith to initiate the next mission. Following the instructions, head towards the simple camp, where you'll find numerous forest orcs. After the cutscene, use your mount to automatically navigate to the orc settlement.

Forest Orcs at the Camp

Upon conversing with the representative of the orc tribe, you will learn that you need to eliminate a monster known as the Peach Fur Beast King before they will allow you to establish a temporary camp in the forest.

Orc Settlement Combat with Peach Fur Beast King

Reaching the Peach Hair Beast King

Use the mounting auto-navigation feature to directly reach the position of the Peach Hair Beast King and begin the battle. The weak point of the Peach Hair Beast King is its rear, while its head (Peach Hair Beast King's Tooth), tail (Peach Hair Beast King's Fur), and front legs (Peach Hair Beast King's Claw) can all be destroyed to drop specific materials.

Peach Hair Beast King Location

Peach Hair Beast King's Move Analysis

Front Paw Attack

The Peach Hair Beast King quickly raises its front paw toward the direction it is facing without much windup, delivering a rapid attack. As soon as you see the paw lift, you need to immediately distance yourself or defend against it.

Front Paw Attack

Front Paw Slam

The Peach Hair Beast King stands up and raises both hands in preparation, waiting until charging is complete to slam down toward the ground. There is a noticeable windup, giving you sufficient time to evade when you see it preparing.

Front Paw Slam

Foul Vapor Mist 1

The Peach Hair Beast King releases a foul mist that can inflict debuffs. Make sure to stay alert and evade as necessary.

Felyne Beast King's Yellow Gas Attack

With a low roar, the Felyne Beast King’s head sinks in, and it begins to release yellow gas from its mouth. After charging, it opens its jaws and unleashes a large amount of yellow gas, dealing damage and applying debuffs. This move has a clear wind-up, and players on the sides of the monster's mouth may not take damage. When you see the wind-up, simply move slightly to the side and continue attacking.

Felyne Beast King Yellow Gas Attack

Foul Gas Spray 2

The Felyne Beast King rises, its belly suddenly expanding. After a brief wind-up, it sprays a large amount of yellow gas forward. This is the most obvious wind-up move; seeing it, players should quickly move behind the beast and continue to attack.

Foul Gas Spray 2

Peach Fur Beast King's Stink Spray Attack

The Peach Fur Beast King performs a small jump, raising its tail and backside slightly, then swiftly emits a foul-smelling spray from its rear. This attack often appears when players try to flank it from behind. The most notable aspect is the small jump that precedes the move.

Peach Fur Beast King Stink Spray Attack

Stink Spray 2 (After)

The Peach Fur Beast King shifts to a standing posture, roaring and extending its claws. At this moment, it releases a significant amount of yellow gas from its backside. This attack is dangerous because its wind-up looks very similar to other lunging attacks, creating confusion for players.

Peach Fur Beast King Stink Spray 2 (After)

Rolling Charge

First, the Peach Fur Beast King lets out a low roar, opens its claws, and holds momentarily to gather strength before charging in the direction it is facing and rolling to deal damage. The best time to dodge this attack is during the wind-up phase when the Peach Fur Beast King is preparing the charge, as it has a considerable recovery period afterward, providing a good opportunity to strike its weak points.

Jump Attack

The Peach Wolf King gathers its four legs together, lowers its head, and after a brief charge, leaps forward in the direction it is facing. Upon observing this pre-animation, move towards the Peach Wolf King's position, and after it completes the leap, turn and continue your attack.

Jump Attack Image

Front Claw Quadruple Strike

The Peach Wolf King assumes the posture shown in the image below, quickly swinging its front claws four times at a faster speed, eventually falling to the ground with a brief recoil. Be prepared to quickly react to the pre-animation and immediately enter a dodging or defensive state, then attack during its subsequent recoil.

Front Claw Quadruple Strike Image

Completing the Quest

After completing the quest, enter the cutscene and return to the camp to unlock the "Secondary Mission" function, which includes side quests.

Completing the Quest Image Secondary Mission Image

Side Quest - Fishing is Life

The main camp location in the Scarlet Forest is straightforward. Head deeper into the forest, where you will find a small pond with Kania marked by a yellow icon above her head. Interact with her to accept the side quest Fishing is Life.

Fishing in Monster Hunter Wilds

Open your item menu and select the fishing rod from the fixed items section. You can start fishing directly at the quest location.

Fishing rod in Monster Hunter Wilds

Cast your rod into the pond, and use the movement keys to maneuver the bait next to the fish to significantly increase your catch success rate.

Catching fish in Monster Hunter Wilds

When a fish bites, you will notice clear ripple effects on the water's surface. At this point, pull the rod to complete the fishing action, and then talk to the NPC who gave you the quest to finish this side mission.

Mission 1-4: The Dignity of Hunters

At the tent in Crimson Forest, converse with Alma and choose to proceed into the storyline. During the cutscene, we discover traces of various beasts and need to quickly inform the villagers of Wind Sound Village to evacuate. Isa tells us that to persuade the village elder, we need to find Zagtow.

Travel directly on a dragon via automatic navigation and observe Zagtow being pursued by a group of Sand Sea Dragons. After some interaction, we engage in a battle with the Sand Sea Dragon.

Sand Sea Dragon Move Analysis

Ranged Attacks

The Sand Wyvern's Attacks

The Sand Wyvern lifts its upper body to charge, briefly moving forward before unleashing a large amount of venom in the direction it is facing. This move has a shorter wind-up time, so you need to react quickly to avoid being hit and suffering a DEBUFF effect.

Sand Wyvern Venom Attack

Bite

Before executing this attack, the Sand Wyvern will open its mouth to charge, which is a clear animation. As soon as you see this movement, be ready to defend or dodge.

Sand Wyvern Bite Attack

Tail Sweep

This attack generally occurs when the player is continually circling behind the monster. The Sand Wyvern will momentarily stop moving, lifting its tail slightly to aim at the player, while its head will turn to the side to keep an eye on the player. When this animation occurs, a tail sweep will follow, so always be aware of this movement while targeting the tail.

Sand Wyvern Tail Sweep

Leap Attack

[Your content regarding the Leap Attack goes here.]

Sandsea Dragon’s Coiling Attack

The Sandsea Dragon coils itself up. During this action, it does not inflict damage to the players. After a brief moment, it burrows underground and waits for a few seconds before re-emerging from below, jumping to another side. This attack is quite favorable, as the time spent underground is enough for players to walk far away from the area.

Sandsea Dragon Coiling Attack

Tail Whip Charge

The Sandsea Dragon arches its body, bringing its tail and head closer to form an S shape. After a brief charge, the tail will directly rush towards the monster’s line of sight. Upon seeing this wind-up, players must quickly dodge to the sides; otherwise, they will suffer significant damage.

Tail Whip Charge

Sand Pit

Before using this attack, the Sandsea Dragon will roar a few times, then burrow into the sand to create a massive sand pit. After a few seconds, the Sandsea Dragon will leap out directly from the center of the pit to attack the player. When the sand pit is being created, it is crucial to immediately distance yourself from the area, as the allowance for defense or evasion is incredibly low.

After the Battle

After the battle, talk to Zadro again and return to the village, but it is too late. The beast begins to wreak havoc in the village. Once the perspective shifts back to the player, quickly use the grappling hook to open the adjacent fence, allowing the livestock to escape. Follow the beast by automatically moving along the path.

Entering the Beast Herd

Once you enter the herd, continuously attack the beast marked with indicators and glowing red. After a dialogue prompts, guide it away from the monsters, and the dragon riding will automatically follow the path. After the ensuing cutscene, prepare for battle against the beast.

Beast Attack Analysis

Front Claw Strike

The Front Claw Strike is a powerful attack where the beast lunges forward, aiming at the player.

Claw Attack

This attack has a range limited to the side where the monster raises its single claw. Before the attack, the monster pauses briefly after lifting its claw. Simply moving away slightly will help you avoid it.

Claw Attack Image

Bite Attack

The monster opens its mouth and roars, then immediately turns to attack the player. Pay special attention to the initial roar; failing to notice it can result in a difficult-to-evade subsequent bite attack.

Bite Attack Image

Head Sweep

The monster will let out a roar before sweeping its head close to the ground in a circle. Most of the monster's attacks are preceded by a roar, so it’s essential to keep a close eye on the monster's head movements.

Attack Range Technique

The attack range of this technique is not large, and taking a step back immediately can basically avoid it.

Attack Range Technique

Howl Charge

The beast lets out a fierce roar and then bows its body to gather power, charging forward a short distance towards its line of sight after a few seconds. It's necessary to move sideways in time, as evading from the front is quite challenging.

Mission Completion

After the battle, you will automatically navigate back to the village to trigger a cutscene and complete this mission.

Mission Completion

Chapter 1-5: Beyond the Torrential Rain

Talk to Nata at the entrance of the desert base to begin the mission "Chasing Solitude." This will lead to a cutscene before automatically riding a dragon to engage in battle with Boi Dragon.

Understanding the Characteristics of the Wave Dragon

The Wave Dragon has two forms. The first form features a dragon-like appearance with a large amount of transparent feather apparel. When players attack these wings, the HP displayed is blue, which does not contribute to the Wave Dragon's actual HP. Once players deplete this blue HP to a certain extent, the Wave Dragon will transition into its second state.

Wave Dragon First Form

In the second state, the Wave Dragon withdraws its feather apparel. At this point, attacking the Wave Dragon can deal significant damage, and its weak spot is its mouth.

Wave Dragon Second Form

Wave Dragon Move Analysis

Single-Handed Slam

The Wave Dragon raises one hand to charge and then slams it down to the ground. The entire process is relatively slow, making it easy for players to dodge.

Boi Dragon Attack Patterns

The Boi Dragon raises half of its body to charge slowly, then rolls in place to deal area damage. This move has a noticeable wind-up, and the best strategy is to move away from it.

Boi Dragon Attack Example

Dashing Dive

The Boi Dragon will stand tall and arch its body to charge for a few seconds, then it will pounce directly at the target to perform a double strike. Pay close attention to the wind-up for this movement, as the Boi Dragon's dive is quick. It's necessary to recognize this action early and find cover or move away immediately.

Dashing Dive Example

Post-Battle Scene

After the battle concludes, a cutscene will play where the Boi Dragon is defeated by a surprise attack from the Lockblade Dragon. Although we did not defeat it ourselves, we can still harvest materials from the Boi Dragon's corpse. Finally, speak with Ovilia to complete this quest.

Strategies for the Dung Beetle Dragon

Range Oil Sludge

This attack creates a wide area of oil that can hinder your movement. Stay agile and avoid standing in the puddles to minimize the risk of damage.

Subterranean Dragon's Explosive Attack

The Subterranean Dragon will insert its lower body into the mud and begin to charge up. After a few seconds, it will unleash an explosive attack that affects a wide area. Upon noticing this pre-attack animation, it is crucial to immediately distance yourself from the vicinity of the Subterranean Dragon.

Subterranean Dragon Explosion Attack

Quick Jab

Before executing this move, the Subterranean Dragon will arch its upper body, shaking its head multiple times like a fly. After this brief animation, it will charge forward with a short, quick jab attack targeting its desired opponent.

Subterranean Dragon Quick Jab

Tail Sweep

This move has virtually no windup, so players must be familiar with the monster's patterns to anticipate it. The Subterranean Dragon rapidly sweeps its tail in a horizontal attack.

Subterranean Dragon Tail Sweep

Claw Strike

The Subterranean Dragon swiftly strikes with its front claws at players. The speed of this attack is very fast and has almost no windup, so it's essential to pay close attention to the monster's claw movements during combat.

Explosive Transmission
The Swamp Dragon inserts its tail into the sludge, starting to channel energy, causing an explosion at a nearby location. The impending explosion will be indicated by smoke, so maneuvering away in advance is recommended.

Front Claw Strike
The Swamp Dragon stands upright and raises its front claws to charge, then strikes the targeted player with its claws after a few seconds. The wind-up animation is relatively long and clear, making it easy to dodge.
Front Claw Strike

After defeating the Swamp Dragon, the two little girls were successfully rescued. They returned with quality oil, and the Fire Festival successfully commenced. However, due to unknown reasons, the festival failed. While everyone searched for the cause, Zatu suddenly received news that Wind Sound Village was in trouble, prompting everyone to return to the village with Zatu.
Rescue Mission

Returning to Wind Sound Village

In this section, we will discuss the confrontation weapons highlighted in the battle against Alma. After speaking with Alma, return to the desert. Follow the guide to automatically navigate to the destination, where you will discover the previous clashes between the Lockjaw Dragon and the Flash Thunder Dragon. Eventually, after the Flash Thunder Dragon is defeated, it becomes enraged and initiates combat once more.

Analysis of Flash Thunder Dragon's Attacks

Single Wing Slash
The Flash Thunder Dragon takes to the air, tilting its body sideways, and then thrusts its wings into the ground moving toward the target. The area that the wings pass over will inflict damage.

This attack also has a grounded version, but the range and speed are noticeably inferior to its aerial counterpart.

Dual Horn Stab

Kiranra's Charge Attack

Kiranra will step back a few paces and spread its wings, lowering its center of gravity. The horns on its head will begin to charge up, and after a few seconds, Kiranra will thrust its head toward the target to deal damage. This move has a clear wind-up and a long charge time, providing ample opportunity to decide whether to dodge or defend and look for a counterattack.

Kiranra Charge Attack

Tail Swipe

This attack usually occurs when players are constantly circling behind. Before using this move, Kiranra will raise its rear and lift its hind leg, then immediately swing its tail down toward the ground. As soon as you see its tail elevate, prepare to defend or dodge; you only need to move a bit to the side of the tail to avoid the attack.

Kiranra Tail Swipe

Flying Thunderstrike

Kiranra charges up in advance, then suddenly flies into the air to charge again while aiming at the target before launching a powerful electric ranged attack. This move is easy to avoid; as soon as you see the wind-up, you can move preemptively to dodge, and players will be able to spot the enemy's aiming position in advance.

This move also has a landing version, which charges faster, requiring players to react quickly.

Monster Hunter Wilds Move Illustration

Sky Hammer Strike

This attack has a noticeable retreat motion before it occurs; when you see the Glimmering Thunder Dragon flying and suddenly retreating upward, it indicates that it is about to charge for a ground strike. You need to prepare for defense or dodge directly.

Monster Hunter Wilds Sky Hammer Strike

After defeating the Glimmering Thunder Dragon, everyone starts to question the connection between the Twin Blades Dragon and the weather. After conversing with the people in Wind Sound Village, we decide to head back to Fire Kiln Village.

Monster Hunter Wilds Conversation Monster Hunter Wilds Fire Kiln Village

Returning to Fire Oven Village

Once again, head to Fire Oven Village and talk to the NPC near the guidance point. Then, mount the dragon and let it automatically navigate to your destination, where you'll find an icy plain. Collect Warm Soft Mantle Bug or Chili Pepper to make hot drinks and avoid stamina reduction. Then continue riding the dragon to trigger a battle with the Shadow Spider.

Shadow Spider Attack Analysis

Long-Range Silk Spit

The Shadow Spider suddenly stands on its hind legs and charges its tail. After a few seconds, it shoots a large amount of silk into the visible area. Getting touched by the silk will trap you.

Shadow Spider Long-Range Silk Spit

Step Back Silk Spit

This move poses a significant threat. The Shadow Spider suddenly shifts its weight backward, arching its body, and then performs a large jump backward while spitting a strand of silk toward the player. Once caught, it will follow up with a long combo attack.

Shadow Spider Step Back Silk Spit

Avoiding Monster Attacks

When you see the monster begin its wind-up motion, quickly dodge and call your mount to change position. Attack the monster during its recovery after the claw attack.

Monster Hunter Wilds Strategy

Silk Spit Charge

The shadow spider suddenly arches back and spits a strand of silk toward its line of sight, then charges a short distance in that direction. Simply move out of the shadow spider's line of sight to avoid it.

Silk Spit Attack

Long Claw Attack

The shadow spider opens its mouth wide, and at this moment, its two claws will elongate in succession as it begins to charge up. Once fully charged, the monster will snap its claws together, dealing damage. The wind-up time is considerable; as long as you aren't caught in the silk, you can practically dodge it. The recovery time is also quite pronounced, giving you a great chance to attack.

Long Claw Attack

Double Claw Attack

Details on this attack will continue in the next sections, focusing on identifying the timing and best strategies to counter it.

Preparation Before Attacking

Before using this attack, the spider will lift its claws to charge. Once charged, it will attack in the direction it is facing. As soon as you see the charging motion, start to evade and simply maneuver around.

Monster Hunter Wilds Charge Attack

Pounce Attack

The phantom spider adjusts its center of gravity, supported by its two hind legs, and after a brief charge, it pounces towards the area in front of it. This attack is relatively easy to dodge.
