How to use Hunting Assistants in Monster Hunter Wilds
While hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds can be enjoyed alone, you can also use your Hunting Assistants to make life easier. Like your co-op allies, Hunting Assistants will assist you with bringing down a monster you're hunting, but the way they work is slightly different. For starters, you'll have to unlock them inside the game to enjoy the benefits. How to unlock Hunting Assistants in Monster Hunter Wilds Hunting Assistants are locked when you start your adventure, and you'll need to clear the first three chapters. Once done, speak with Gemma in Windward Plains or Werner in the Ruins of Wyveria. They will provide you with Smithy's Seal of Quality and Werner's Test Run. These quests have side objectives that differ from the main quest line. While Gemma tasks you with testing a new invention and hunting the Lala Barina, Werner will ask you to hunt down a Guardian Doshaguma. These missions are essentially tutorials of how Hunting Assistants work inside the game, so make sure to complete them after clearing the necessary main story chapters. Screenshot by Destructoid How to use Hunting Assistants Hunting Assistants differ from typical NPC AIs who assist you after firing an SOS Flare. There are only two options currently available: Gemma and Werner. Whenever you begin one of their quests, you'll have to lure a monster to where Gemma/Werner is located. Once you lure the monster in, your Hunting Assistant will set out a trap. Once a monster enters a radius of the trap, it will help you on your hunt. Once you have completed the side quests, Hunting Assistants will appear randomly at different map areas. Open the Environmental Overview tab to find if any assistant is available. Note down their location if they're present, as luring your hunt towards them will be highly beneficial. If you want to learn more about how traps work in the game, check out our guide on the topic.
