Cooking and Eating Meals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Unlike in *Monster Hunter: World* and *Monster Hunter Rise*, where you could simply visit a friendly Palico NPC to have your meals prepared, *Monster Hunter Wilds* requires you to take matters into your own hands. You have two primary options for cooking:
- By cooking in your tent: When you accept a new quest, take a moment to prepare. Head to your tent, navigate to the BBQ Menu using L1 or R1, and select the "Grill a Meal" option.
- By using the Portable BBQ Grill: Alternatively, you can access the Portable BBQ Grill from your inventory. Press the square button to use it and start cooking from there.
Which Meals to Cook?
In the cooking menu, you have the flexibility to choose between a recommended, custom, or favorite meal. Here’s a breakdown of your options:
- Recommended Meals: These are straightforward and consist of a Ration combined with any additional ingredients you have. Cooking solely with Rations provides a 30-minute buff, granting +50 Health, +150 Stamina, and +2 Attack. Adding ingredients extends this duration by an additional 20 minutes. These meals serve as a solid foundation for your hunt preparations.
- Custom Meals: For those looking to tailor their meals more precisely, the custom meal option is ideal. You can select one Ration (which could be meat, fish, or veggies), one ingredient, and your finishing touches. Depending on your choice of Ration, you can receive different buffs such as increased attack, defense, or elemental resistances. Additional ingredients and finishing touches can further enhance your meal, providing benefits like improved gathering or reduced damage taken.
Once you've made your selections, start cooking, and your Hunter will automatically eat the meal, ensuring you're fully prepared for your hunt.
