*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two distinct seasons: Fallow and Plenty, each dramatically altering the Forbidden Lands. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by intense weather, scarce resources, and highly 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, colors brighten, and monsters exhibit less hostility, often foregoing pack behavior. Resources, including Endemic Life and plants, are far easier to acquire, bringing a welcome respite for both villagers and hunters alike.

Between these major seasons, brief but intense periods of Inclemency occur. These extreme weather events serve as the dramatic backdrop for challenging encounters with Apex Predators. For instance, the Pinnacle of the Pack assignment pits hunters against the formidable Alpha Doshaguma during a raging Sandtide—a lightning-filled sandstorm. Expect unique weather phenomena to punctuate your battles with Apex Predators throughout the game.
