---------------------------------------
*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two primary seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by intense weather, scarce resources, and highly aggressive monsters prone to frequent territorial disputes. Survival is a constant struggle. In contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more abundant environment. Flora thrives, monsters are less hostile, and resources are plentiful. This season is a welcome respite for both villagers and hunters alike.
Between these seasons, brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency occur. These periods heighten environmental challenges and often serve as the backdrop for epic battles against Apex Predators. For instance, the Pinnacle of the Pack assignment pits hunters against the Alpha Doshaguma during a fierce sandstorm called Sandtide. Expect to encounter more unique weather phenomena during encounters with Apex Predators throughout the game.
