Experience flow

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" that records your hunter rank and weapon proficiency, as well as a "Hunter's Notebook" that includes a field map and other information!

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!

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

To defeat large monsters, you will need to choose one of four different weapons!Hunter weapons include "melee weapons" and "ranged weapons", so choose the weapon that best suits your hunting style!

Large sword

A weapon with a large blade.All of these slashes boast high power and a wide attack range.

twin sword

A weapon characterized by quick slashing attacks.Deals multiple damage with a single attack motion.

hammer

A weapon whose destructive power lies in its weight.You can also stun monsters by attacking their heads.

light bowgun

2-2. Hunting begins!

First, before defeating a 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 avoiding the monster's attacks yourself, swing your weapon controller at the right distance to continue dealing damage and aim to defeat the monster within the time limit! Operations that you can do with just your fingers in the game are quite different when you actually do them with your own body!
