Use the Environment
Tips and Tricks for Monster Hunter World Beginners
As you explore the different locales in Monster Hunter World, your map will get updated with all sorts of useful icons to let you know where to find different resources. At the start of the game, you’ll want to keep an eye out for herbs and honey. Herbs give you two potions, while a potion and honey gives you a mega-potion. Try to keep your stock of potions topped up at all times. There are also Vigorwasps all over the place (they’re these glowing green, bulbous flies) that will restore your health if you interact with them.
Your map also highlights the locations of potential traps that you can set, such as vines and falling boulders. If you’re hunting a monster, you can always lure it to one of these areas before setting off a trap to weaken it and give you a few free hits. Your map also comes in handy when you need to find specific resources for delivery quests. Once you discover a collection node in the environment, it’ll be marked on your map forever.
