Monster Hunter has never been a solo experience.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a more approachable, if slightly more mindless Monster Hunter.

So Wilds also introduces Hunting Assistants.

The hunter, Gemma, and Nata all looking at a frozen passage in monster hunter wilds.

These are independent of NPC Support Hunters and work more with the environment and the shifting events within them.

After you complete these quests,both Gemma and Werner become available as Hunting Assistants.

Except the game doesn’t actually explain what that means.

Monster Hunter Wilds review

This means that you might’t use them whenever you would like or choose where they will appear.

you could verify if a Hunting Assistant is active bychecking the Environment Overview tab in the map.

Both Hunting Assistants are a great help,but Werner has the more unique rig by far.

A hunter standing before a rathalos in monster hunter world, hunters battling magnamalo in monster hunter rise, and a rajang in monster hunter, left to right.

Monster Hunter continues to be well and alive after almost two decades.

With so many titles, it can be confusing to know how to play them in order.
