Most players associate Monster Hunter with the thrill of the hunt, but capturing monsters is equally crucial in the game's ecosystem. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful interaction that unfolds when they linger after a capture.
As showcased by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, sticking around a captured monster reveals a bit of behind-the-scenes magic. After capturing a Nu Udra and patiently waiting, the giant cephalopod surprisingly gets up and wanders off. This amusing scene sparked humorous comparisons to a film set wrapping up, adding a lighthearted touch to the game.
For those curious about in-universe explanations, it's worth noting that Monster Hunter Wilds adopts a catch-and-release approach, fitting the ethos of Alma and her team throughout the storyline. The absence of giant cages aligns with the game's commitment to a more ethical study of monsters.
This quirky moment is a testament to Capcom's attention to detail. Instead of opting for a simple fade-out, the developers crafted a unique animation where the monster, albeit missing several limbs and appendages, scurries off into the distance. It's a whimsical addition that not only entertains but also provides a glimpse into the research methods of Alma and her crew.
With the recent release of Patch 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds, several quest progression issues have been resolved, and various bugs have been fixed. While performance enhancements are still in the pipeline, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
