Mastering Meal Prep in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Hunter's Guide
Fueling your hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds requires a different approach than in World or Rise. Forget relying on helpful Palicos; you're in charge of your own culinary creations! This guide details how to prepare and consume meals to maximize your hunting effectiveness.
Cooking Methods:
There are two convenient ways to cook your meals:
-
Campfire Cooking: After accepting a quest, head to your tent. Access the BBQ menu (typically by pressing L1 or R1) and select "Grill a Meal."
-
Portable BBQ Grill: Alternatively, equip the Portable BBQ Grill from your inventory and press the square button to deploy and begin cooking.

Meal Selection:
The cooking menu offers three meal types:
-
Recommended Meal: A simple, readily available option using rations and any extra ingredients. A basic ration meal provides a 30-minute buff with +50 Health, +150 Stamina, and +2 Attack. Adding ingredients extends the buff duration by 20 minutes. This is a solid baseline for hunt preparation.
-
Custom Meal: Allows for complete customization. Choose one ration (meat, fish, or vegetables, each offering different stat boosts like increased attack, defense, or elemental resistance), one ingredient (enhancing gathering or reducing damage taken), and a finishing touch.
-
Favorite Meal: (Presumably a saved custom meal for quick access – details not provided in original text)
Once your meal is prepared, your Hunter will automatically consume it, granting the chosen buffs.
Remember to experiment with different ingredient combinations to find the perfect meal for your hunting strategy. For more Monster Hunter Wilds tips and strategies, be sure to check out The Escapist (Replace example.com with actual URL).
