Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Beginner Tips
Get Your Palico ASAP
As soon as you gain control of your character in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, head straight to the Palico Ranch to the right side of the village and get your Palico immediately. This is a cat companion who will accompany you on your hunts in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, and they’ll even gather materials and fight alongside you. Head to the Ranch and talk to the Meowstress, and you’ll be able to create your first Palico. After that, you can recruit other Palicoes, and bring up to two of them with you on a mission. Don’t forget to come back to the Ranch every now and then to level your Palicoes up and teach them a few new skills at the board.
If the gameplay starts to get a little repetitive for you in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, consider playing in Prowler Mode instead. This can be activated from the board at the Palico Ranch, and allows you to play as a Palico instead of a human hunter. While your damage output will be a little lower, and you won’t be able to use styles or arts, Palicoes have the benefit of being able to mine for resources without having to worry about crafting gear like pickaxes and bug nets. We recommend playing in Prowler Mode whenever you get a gathering quest; it’s much more efficient.
