As Monster Hunter Wilds rises to some absolutely absurd popularity<\/a>, and the game’s most tryhard of tryhards get to grips with its armoury of systems, the playerbase has already shifted over from ‘how do I hunt monsters?’ to ‘how do I hunt these monsters in the most stylish, braggadocious way possible?’<\/p>\n

Among this secret society of elites who have more free time than I do are, naturally, speedrunners, who have made efforts to show everyone just how quickly they can kill a Ralathos or something\u2014which is totally in the spirit of the guild’s emphasis on conservation and responsible slaying. Alma’s got my back.<\/p>\n

However, some players have discovered a nifty little trick\u2014as spotted by VG247<\/a>, it turns out that you can kill a monster in under 2 seconds. Kinda, if you don’t look at the actual process too hard.<\/p>\n

In case you’re unfamiliar, let me break it down for you: Quests can either be started via Alma, the map, or by hitting a monster hard enough that Alma gives over and says ‘okay, you clearly want to hunt this thing so I’ll pretend like we were meant to slay it the whole time’. Told you she has my back.<\/p>\n

However, as shown in the video below, poison damage doesn’t trigger this incidental hunting state\u2014meaning you can slowly, arduously poison a monster over the course of around 10 minutes while your Palico keeps it busy. Doing this isn’t appreciably much different from just fighting the bloody thing\u2014in fact, it’s less efficient, especially if you’re actually good at the game.<\/p>\n
