First, know that it doesn\u2019t matter what lobby you are in \u2014 whether it\u2019s a public or private lobby you might have joined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/monster-hunter-wilds-guide\/526554\/lobby-id-find-get\">Lobby ID<\/a>, or if you are playing in Online Single Player \u2014 as the Link Party feature works regardless of the lobby system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can play with friends via Link Party by doing the following:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open the menu screen.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tab over to the \u201cCommunication\u201d tab<\/strong> with the speech bubble icon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Select \u201cLink Party.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>To make a party, choose \u201cInvite to Link Party\u201d and select the friends you want to invite. <\/strong>(The easiest way to find a friend is search for their Hunter ID, which works in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/monster-hunter-wilds-guide\/525566\/cross-play-enable-disable-how-to\">crossplay<\/a> with other platforms. You can find your Hunter ID code on your by going to the \u201cInfo\u201d tab on the menu, then \u201cHunter Profile,\u201d then \u201cToggle Online ID.\u201d Once they are in your Link Party, you can then add send a friend request on the \u201cView Link Party Members\u201d screen so you don\u2019t have to share a Hunter ID code again in future.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you\u2019ve been invited to a Link Party, <\/strong>you\u2019ll need to select the \u201cInvitation List\u201d option and accept that invite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>From there, once someone has posted a quest, <\/strong>you will see the quest appear in-game automatically for you to join when you\u2019re ready.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"c-image-slider alignnone wp-block-vox-media-image-slider\">\n<div class=\"c-image-slider__caption\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Beyond being the most direct way to play with a friend, Link Parties offer a number of benefits. There\u2019s dedicated voice and text chat between your group, and after you finish a quest, you will stay grouped up so you can take on another one \u2014 but you can also decline subsequent quests if you prefer to do something else in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In other words, you are linked together and can jump into each other\u2019s quests, but you are still in your own lobbies and\/or instances of the game between those sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">However, since you are in your own lobbies, you don\u2019t see one another in-game outside of quests \u2014 and that\u2019s where Environment Link comes into play.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-see-friends-in-multiplayer-with-environment-link\">How to see friends in multiplayer with Environment Link<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Environment Link is a way to share the same world and explore together, which by default, forming a Link Party doesn\u2019t do. This is partly due to the lobby system \u2014 which, if you\u2019re in a public lobby for example, is how you might be visibly seeing random other players in your world already \u2014 but also, keeping everyone separate by default in a Link Party means it can prevent you from stumbling into challenging late game monsters a friend has unlocked that you yet have not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">To join together via Environment Link, the person who wants to host everyone in their game must:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Invite friends to your \u201cLink Party\u201d as shown in the steps above.<\/li>\n<li>Open the menu screen again.<\/li>\n<li>Tab over to the \u201cCommunication\u201d tab with the speech bubble icon.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cLink Party.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cInvite All to Environment Link.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">First, depending on where you are in the story, you might not see the \u201cInvite All to Environment Link\u201d option at all. This is because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/monster-hunter-wilds-guide\/525454\/walkthrough-main-story-quest-steps-list-all-hunts\">key story moments<\/a> may prevent Environment Link invites \u2014 in which case, progress further until the world state has settled down to \u201cnormal,\u201d or ask someone else in your Link Party to play host in their world instead. (In our testing, it was possible to be invited to someone else\u2019s Environment Link world even if you\u2019re temporarily story-locked in yours.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Second, from our experience (and it looks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MHWilds\/comments\/1ikpqob\/comment\/mcwu20u\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\">that of the community<\/a> as well), you cannot post quests via Alma or the Quest Counter when in Environment Link. If that\u2019s the same for you, then drop out of this and go for a regular Invite Party.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-play-with-friends-in-multiplayer-in-monster-hunter-wilds-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\" id=\"how-to-get-the-best-of-solo-and-multiplayer-with-sos-flares\">How to get the best of solo and multiplayer with SOS Flares<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re interested in playing with randoms to take down a specific monsters without the confusion of joining a public lobby, you can answer SOS Flares, which are created by other players when they need an assist on their hunts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can join an SOS Flare by doing the following:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enter your tent.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll over to the \u201cQuest Menu\u201d option with the quest marker icon on a page.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cPost\/Join Quest.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down to \u201cSOS Flare Quests.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Fill out the information, if you\u2019re looking to help out with a specific hunt.<\/li>\n<li>Hit \u201cSOS Flare Search.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A list of available flares to answer should come up.
