*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two main seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by intense weather, scarce resources, and aggressive monsters frequently engaging in territorial battles. Conversely, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more abundant environment. Monsters are less hostile, resources are plentiful, and the overall atmosphere is significantly more pleasant. This seasonal shift greatly impacts both hunting and resource gathering.

Between these primary seasons, brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency occur. These periods heighten weather effects and often serve as the backdrop for epic clashes with Apex Predators. For instance, the Pinnacle of the Pack assignment pits hunters against the Alpha Doshaguma during a dramatic sandstorm called Sandtide. Expect more unique and challenging weather encounters when facing Apex Predators.
