---------------------------------------
*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two main seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by intense weather, scarce resources, and aggressive monsters frequently engaging in territorial battles. Survival is a constant struggle. In stark contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more abundant environment. Flora thrives, monsters are less hostile, and resources are plentiful. This shift creates a noticeable difference in the overall game experience.
Between these major seasons are brief, but intense, periods of Inclemency. These heightened weather events set the stage for dramatic encounters with Apex Predators. For example, the "Pinnacle of the Pack" assignment pits hunters against the Alpha Doshaguma during a raging Sandtide, a spectacular lightning-filled sandstorm. Expect unique weather phenomena to accompany these challenging Apex Predator battles.
