Azuma is a dangerous and wild place. Filled with powerful Kemono brimming with the wrath of nature, this land seems hostile. But you can build. You have technology. And we have a very quick guide for players just starting out in their Wild Heart hunting career (or can read as they wait for a patch for some reported performance issues) . Read on for some quick tips to help a budding Kemono killer bloom.
Karakuri is the key
Probably the biggest trick one can come up with a new way Wild Heart players – maybe they are one Monster Hunter Veterans check out the newest candidate or a green rookie encounters the monster hunting genre for the first time – Karakuri can’t be missed. Without Karakuri, Wild Heart is a useful attempt to bite Monster Hunterstyle of. To it, it is a distinct beast of its own. It may take some getting used to, but before long, being able to take down improvised structures made of crates, springs, and well-placed Karakuri Dragons will become second nature . And that’s what it is, consider the Celestial String that powers your Karakuri as the key to both the story and Wild Heart‘ story mode.
Build, build, build!
Just like using and learning the Karakuri system is the key to unlocking Wild Heart’ depth, building both in and out of combat is the best way to get into the mindset that Omega Force is looking for. Note on Supplies Your only in combat is a must, but don’t be stingy. Karakuri are basically temporary: They will be destroyed quickly and are intended to give you a temporary advantage, such as by using Bulwark to reduce Kingtusk’s attack power or setting up a trap to do any damage. move a big Kemono. If you run out of Threads in a scrap, there are ways you can make up. If you are in multiplayer, your friends can help complete your structure. You will also be able to get only from nearby rocks and trees, and even Kemono, if you get past its defenses.
Why not Build-A-Bear?
During the first hours of the game, one of your best friends won’t be the Minato resident or your Tsukumo helpers, but the clock bear sitting outside the entrance to your first camp. . The trainer bear is a buildable Karakuri dragon and it is very useful as it gives you a safe target to practice your combos. Enabling practice mode will even play out a brief weapon guide to help you familiarize yourself with the weapon’s abilities and timing. The Training Bear will prove useful throughout your journey, although you’ll only need one or two per area, as moving quickly will save you materials for the Karakuri Dragon.
Dragon Chase (Karakuri)
Speaking of Dragon Karakuri, you’ll want to fill Azuma with your constructions. The Karakuri Dragon is permanent and gives you lasting benefits, such as tents and camps to quickly travel to, a smithy to upgrade your weapons, and even points to get healing water precious from there. Get used to finding Dragon Pits and unblocking them, because they’re how you can prepare the land for many of your buildings. There is a limit to the number of Karakuri Dragons you can place in an area, but you can increase that limit by upgrading your local Dragon Pits, as well as destroying unnecessary structures.
Another tip: You can place the Karakuri Dragon almost anywhere. They don’t have to be next to or near the Dragon Pit. Find the best location for you. Being able to effectively set up your personal fast travel network is a nice nifty feature that you should take advantage of. Some semi-secret areas even allow you to place Dragon Karakuri at a heavily discounted rate on materials, allowing you to save a bit on some of the more expensive structures.
Finding inspiration through practice
‘s story mode Wild Heart has a strange habit of giving you Kemono to chase that you may not be ready to face by the time you reach your goal. Don’t rush forward to kill Kemono. You are likely not fully equipped and will face disappointment. Instead, consider queuing up a hunt or two earlier through the campfire. This is a good opportunity to gather monster materials to use for upgrades, as well as spend time training with Kemono. Just like other hunting games, learning the attack patterns and weaknesses of monsters through repetition is an important part of the game.
Wild Heart However, giving you one more reason to do a bit of “farming” Kemono: Awakenings. During certain battles, you may see a “flash of inspiration” that will give you a chance to unlock a new type of Fusion Karakuri. You’ll get to experience Awakenings for the first time in your first story-driven encounter with Kingtusk, and through that, learn how to create the Bulwark Karakuri. But opportunities for Awakening are found everywhere, and you can find hints on how and where to unlock them in your Karakuri growth tree.
