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. This can be done in two ways:
- Cooking in your tent: Before embarking on a quest, access the BBQ menu (L1 or R1) in your tent and select "Grill a Meal."
- Using the Portable BBQ Grill: 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 Meals: These use a Ration and any additional ingredients you possess. A Ration-only meal provides a 30-minute buff (+50 Health, +150 Stamina, +2 Attack). Adding ingredients extends this buff by 20 minutes. This is a solid baseline for hunt preparation.
Custom Meals: Allows for greater customization. Choose one Ration (meat, fish, or vegetables, each offering different stat boosts like increased attack, defense, or elemental resistance), one ingredient, and a finishing touch. Ingredients and finishing touches provide additional buffs, such as improved gathering or reduced damage taken.
Once you've selected your meal, cooking and eating are automatic.
