Folks on PS4 and Xbox One or those from the future on PC looking for Monster Hunter beginner tips, hopefully this guide will be of use for newcomers. Capcom’s Monster Hunter World is currently available for PS4 and Xbox One, and will hit PC this Fall.
The Monster Hunter series of games isn’t something that you’ll understand in one go, the series is all about trial and error and understanding a weapon, biome, creature, resource and item.
It’s best to practice as much as possible and get down to the nitty-gritty side of things by trying out different stuff. Never be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone in the Monster Hunter series of games, which includes Monster Hunter World.
Another thing to keep in mind is to never give up even when the going gets tough. If something starts to frustrate you in the realm of Monster Hunter you should always go back and train or analyze the beast you are fighting to improve your play style to best it.
This means evading, paying close attention to a monster’s pattern — even if it does change here and there — and getting down the controls to quickly open your inventory to replenish stamina, max health or whatever. This means understanding the movement system in Monster Hunter World, which, again, will take time to learn.
All of the above points are covered in a video by Arekkz Gaming, who details quite a bit of helpful beginner tips such as:
- What is Monster Hunter – 0:28
- Start of the Monster Hunter Series – 1:18
- Monster Hunter World Basic knowledge – 2:22
- Teaming and Partying-Up – 3:08
- Gather and Carve Everything – 3:54
- Always Collect Monster Tracks – 4:34
- Always Check Your Map – 5:11
- Every Weapon Is Viable – 5:30
- Take Your Time – 6:34
If you fail in Monster Hunter World or you keep dying and failing quests, use that experience as a marker to try to learn from past mistakes. Always remember that your character never becomes stronger, but your skill and equipment becomes better, which the former has more precedence than the latter.
Monster Hunter World is available right now for PS4 and Xbox One, and will later hit PC this Fall.
