How to get Great Windward Aloe in Monster Hunter Wilds

Great Windward Aloe is a special item in Monster Hunter Wilds that you can use to trade for other items.

This item only appears in a certain region, under special conditions, so it’s not always easy to find. Once you get it, it has some limited, but useful, applications that can help you get other resources in the game.

This guide will show you where to find and how to get Windward Aloe in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to track the ‘Great Windward Aloe Emergence’ event in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can find Great Windward Aloe in the Windward Plains regions in Monster Hunter Wilds. Sounds easy enough, but it only spawns during a special Emergence Event, which is like a temporary weather event in the game. The Emergence Event is called the “Great Windward Aloe Emergence” and you can track it by checking the forecast in the Environment Overview in your main map. You can see what it looks like in the map forecast below.

The first time we went to look for the Great Windward Aloe, our forecast did not contain the actual name for its emergence event. We solved this problem by waiting for the regular “Windward Aloe Upsurge” event and collecting the standard Windward Aloe. Afterward, the “Great Windward Aloe Emergence” event started appearing.

The emergence event might also not appear in your weather forecast because of the current weather. To reset the weather and get new Emergence Events, you can rest in a tent. Go to a tent, select the “Rest” option under the “BBQ Menu”, and set it so that the environment option says “Plenty.” After that, confirm you want to make your hunter sleep and your hunter will walk outside the tent and you will have a new forecast of emergence events.

You can do this until the “Great Windward Aloe Emergence” appears on your map. However, resting like this costs 300 Guild Points each time you reset the emergence events. Once the forecast lists the “Great Windward Aloe Emergence” event, wait for it (as predicted by your map) and you will be able to go get Great Windward Aloe.

Once the “Great Windward Aloe Emergence” event has started, you can go and collect some Great Windward Aloe.

To find it, open your map and use the cursor to look for a small green plant-like icon labeled, “Giant Windward Succulent.” Once the event starts, you should be able to find one somewhere on Windward Plains. (We found one growing on the western side of the map.) Once you find one, go to the spot on the map and look for a large green aloe plant labeled “Giant Windward Succulent.” Walk up to it and harvest it to collect your great windward aloe.
