1-1. Register as a hunter at the Awaji Gathering Hall!

First, you will need to register as a hunter at the Awaji Gathering Hall (attraction reception). You will receive a Hunter's Proof, which records your Hunter Rank and weapon proficiency, and a Hunter's Notebook, which contains information such as field maps! The Hunter's Proof has an IC chip built into it, so it's essentially a memory card! If you bring the Hunter's Proof you used last time when you play the game for the second time or later, you can play with your Hunter Rank and weapon proficiency intact! These are very important items, so be careful not to lose them!

1-2. Search for your companions and items in the field!

The field is about 13㎡ in size! It's a real open world! Collect items such as recovery potions and demon potions to use in defeating large monsters, and scout your companion Airu to help you in battles with large monsters! Just like the hunters who ran around various fields in the material tour, you will actually run around every corner of the field to collect items!

By waving your Hunter's Proof over item boxes scattered throughout the field, you can get items and scout Palicoes! You can only have a maximum of three items and one Palico, so be sure to carefully consider which item box you waving your Hunter's Proof over!

(Break) Recover your strength and stamina at the restaurant next to the Awaji Assembly Hall!

A meal is essential before hunting large monsters, right? Morino Terrace, a restaurant next to the Awaji Gathering Hall, is also selling collaboration foods exclusive to "Monster Hunter: The Field in Nijigen no Mori"! Refill your energy with delicious food and drinks inspired by the world of "Monster Hunter" before heading out to hunt large monsters!
*Please note that no matter what menu you eat, the food skill will not be activated.

2-1. It's time to defeat the big monsters! First, choose your weapon!

2-2. Hunting begins!

First, before defeating the monster, you will be asked to wear a provided tracking device. This will link the positional information of the player and the character on the screen! While actually avoiding the monster's attacks, you will swing your weapon controller at the appropriate distance to continue dealing damage, aiming to defeat the monster within the time limit!
Your success or failure in defeating monsters, your success or failure in avoiding battles with large monsters, your remaining HP, and other factors will be evaluated and ultimately displayed as your score!
