Cook, and Watch Your Stamina
Tips and Tricks for Monster Hunter World Beginners
Your stamina bar is the most important thing to watch out for in Monster Hunter World. You don’t need it to attack, but it’s useful for sprinting and rolling out of harm’s way. If you deplete your entire stamina bar, your character will be immobilized for a few seconds – more than enough time for a monster to land a killing combo on you and send you back to camp.
If your max stamina bar gets cut, you can always bring it back up (or extend it) by cooking raw meat. Meat is obtained from any of the docile animals out in the wild, and you can cook it by using the BBQ Spit in your inventory. Watch out for the color of the meat and the change in the musical cues as it roasts over the spit. Burnt meat will restore health, rare meat will increase your max stamina slightly, and well-done meat will increase your max stamina greatly.
