In the Story Mode Trial, you’ll have the opportunity to watch an opening scene, and then embark on the “Chatacabra Hunt” tutorial. This tutorial teaches you how to combat monsters effectively. The Chatacabra is a recently debuted monster in Monster Hunter Wilds, freshly introduced to the game.

Doshaguma Hunt

In this quest, you have an opportunity to team up with as many as three fellow hunters in our pursuit of the Doshaguma Alpha. This collaboration will allow us to delve into a designated part of the map, offering us a vivid glimpse of the world around us.
