As Monster Hunter Wilds rises to some completely absurd reputation, and the sport’s most tryhard of tryhards become familiar with its armoury of methods, the playerbase has already shifted over from ‘how do I hunt monsters?’ to ‘how do I hunt these monsters in probably the most trendy, braggadocious method doable?’
Among this secret society of elites who’ve extra free time than I do are, naturally, speedrunners, who’ve made efforts to indicate everybody simply how shortly they’ll kill a Ralathos or one thing—which is completely within the spirit of the guild’s emphasis on conservation and accountable slaying. Alma’s received my again.
However, some gamers have found a nifty little trick—as noticed by VG247, it seems that you could kill a monster in underneath 2 seconds. Kinda, in case you do not have a look at the precise course of too arduous.
In case you are unfamiliar, let me break it down for you: Quests can both be began by way of Alma, the map, or by hitting a monster arduous sufficient that Alma offers over and says ‘okay, you clearly wish to hunt this factor so I’ll fake like we had been meant to slay it the entire time’. Told you she has my again.
However, as proven within the video beneath, poison harm would not set off this incidental searching state—that means you may slowly, arduously poison a monster over the course of round 10 minutes whereas your Palico retains it busy. Doing this is not appreciably a lot totally different from simply combating the bloody factor—in reality, it is much less environment friendly, particularly in case you’re truly good on the recreation.
All it’s essential do is then wait till the monster’s limping round (an indication that it is out there for capturing) and slap it together with your sleep standing weapon of alternative. Open the map, begin a quest on the dozing monster, instantly put down a shock entice, and you will have captured them in underneath two seconds. Technically.
Again, I ought to emphasise that there is not any actual profit to doing this—you would possibly be capable of dodge Zenny penalties for fainting, however I’m not fully certain there’s a lot overlap between ‘I’m scuffling with this monster’ and ‘I can afford to fiddle by slowly whittling its well being down with poison harm’. It’s principally only for bragging rights and shitposting—although I’ve to surprise if time completion fraud is sufficient to get the Guild Knights despatched after you within the recreation’s lore.
