Unlocking High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide
Ready to conquer High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds? This guide will walk you through the process. For veteran hunters, High Rank is the core of the Monster Hunter experience (at least until Master Rank arrives!).
Unlocking High Rank:
To unlock High Rank, you must complete the main storyline. Spoiler alert: The final story mission involves descending into the Dragontorch and defeating the resident monster. After the subsequent cutscenes, the game will automatically transition to High Rank.
What is High Rank?
High Rank is where the true Monster Hunter challenge begins. Expect significantly tougher monsters with increased health, damage output, and a shorter fuse. This difficulty increase is accompanied by new weapon tiers, a fresh set of armor to craft, and a whole new level of grinding that many consider the heart of the Monster Hunter experience.
High Rank also introduces dynamic environmental changes to Monster Hunter Wilds. Each region's dual states (previously experienced sequentially during the main story) now cycle, introducing weather variations like dust storms. A full day-night cycle is also implemented. This enhanced dynamism, coupled with new monsters and variations of existing ones, greatly expands the gameplay experience.
