Cooking and Eating Meals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Unlike World and Rise, where helpful Palicos handle cooking, Monster Hunter Wilds requires you to prepare your own meals. You have two options:
- Cooking in your tent: Before embarking on a quest, take a moment to prepare. In your tent, access the BBQ menu (L1 or R1), and select "Grill a Meal."
- Using the Portable BBQ Grill: Alternatively, equip the Portable BBQ Grill from your inventory and press the square button to begin cooking.
Which Meals to Cook?
The cooking menu offers three meal types: Recommended, Custom, and Favorite.
Recommended Meals: These basic meals use a Ration and any additional ingredients you possess. A Ration-only meal provides a 30-minute buff with +50 Health, +150 Stamina, and +2 Attack. Adding ingredients extends this buff by 20 minutes. This is a solid minimum for hunt preparation.
Custom Meals: For greater customization, choose the custom option. Select one Ration (meat, fish, or vegetables, each offering different buffs like increased attack, defense, or elemental resistances), one ingredient, and a finishing touch. Ingredients and finishing touches enhance your meal further, providing buffs like improved gathering or reduced damage taken.
Once your meal is prepared, your Hunter automatically eats, readying you for the hunt.
