Fans have discovered hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds that promise curious loot. However, to find them, you have to look closely.
What kind of hunts are they? Players in Monster Hunter Wilds are increasingly discovering hunts that they can start on the respective maps of the areas and promise loot that does not match the monsters shown.
They require relatively little effort, as the monsters are usually much easier to defeat than the beast whose loot is included in the hunt. To discover such hunts, you need to look at the environmental overview in the respective area and display the loot of the existing monsters. If you discover such extraordinary hunts, it makes sense to save them as investigations with guild points to repeat them.
So far, the discovered phenomena primarily involve hunts related to Doshaguma and contain valuable Arkveld gems. Specifically, they are mostly simple Doshaguma in pairs, allowing you to obtain a rare Arkveld stone with relatively little time investment.
Fans are therefore discussing on Reddit how this comes about and whether this loot is intended.
“I suspect one of these guys is lying to me about his identity”
What are the fans’ theories? Many players simply suspect a bug. Others assume it involves cheaters, although almost as many contradict this, arguing that if they were cheaters, they would set up far better rewards for even easier monsters.
Some, however, suspect that this is actually intended, as Redintheends’ comment illustrates: “Considering how quickly Arkvelds should have multiplied to revert to normal monsters, they are basically all children with adult bodies. Theoretically, Doshaguma are the ultimate Arkveld predators.”
They therefore hold the theory that Doshaguma see the young Arkvelds as prey in the world of Monster Hunter Wilds, which is why they can also offer material as rewards that actually belongs to Arkveld. Viewed in this way, it could indeed be intended by Capcom that these hunts specifically promise this reward.
Other users seem to have more fun with it:
- magnezoneadvocate: “The one-star Doshaguma is the bait and the three-star Doshaguma is the one lurking with the knife.”
- IronmanMatth: “I once let an Alpha Dosh march in with his crew on a five-star Arkveld hunt, badly beat up an Arkveld, and then scared him away. So I’m not surprised at all if someone has harvested an Arkveld jewel.”
- SeekerFaolan: “This is clearly evidence that Arkveld is two Doshagumas in a trench coat”
- Makolatekh: “Don’t you see that the Arkveld is hiding behind the one-star Doshaguma?”
- Key-Mathematician759: “Damn, I’ve been catfished both on dating apps and in Wilds. Rest in peace, brother.”
The world of Monster Hunter Wilds offers quite a few little secrets and lore snippets that fans are still discovering after hours. Therefore, it wouldn’t be far-fetched if this phenomenon was indeed intended by Capcom.
