Most people associate Monster Hunter with the thrill of hunting monsters, but capturing them is equally significant. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful interaction that unfolds when they capture a monster and linger nearby.
As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, staying near a captured monster reveals a charming behind-the-scenes moment. After capturing a Nu Udra and waiting patiently, players witness the giant cephalopod simply getting up and leaving the scene. This amusing sight has sparked humorous comparisons to a film set wrapping up, adding a light-hearted touch to the game.
For those curious about the in-game lore behind this phenomenon, it's worth noting that the research team in Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't use giant cages. Instead, the game adopts a catch-and-release approach, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the story.
This quirky interaction is a testament to Capcom's attention to detail. Rather than simply fading out the scene, the developers have crafted a unique animation where the monster, despite missing several limbs and appendages, scurries off into the distance. It's a humorous yet insightful glimpse into how Alma and her crew conduct their research.
Patch 1.000.05.00 has recently been released for Monster Hunter Wilds, addressing quest progression issues and fixing bugs. While performance improvements are still in the pipeline, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
