Captured Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds Depart After Capture, Players Discover

Monster Hunter is renowned for hunting, but capturing creatures is equally vital. Players of Monster Hunter Wilds have noticed that lingering after capturing a monster triggers a humorous interaction.

Reddit user RDGtheGreat shared on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit that waiting near a captured monster reveals a charming detail: the creature rises and exits the scene.

After capturing a Nu Udra and staying nearby, the massive cephalopod simply stands and departs. Players likened it to a film set wrapping up, adding a lighthearted touch.

In-universe, the absence of large cages suggests a catch-and-release approach by the research team, aligning with Alma’s ethos and the game’s narrative.

This quirky moment is enhanced by Capcom’s thoughtful animation, avoiding a simple fade-out. The sight of a limbless monster scurrying away is amusing yet offers insight into Alma’s research methods.

Patch 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds recently launched, resolving quest progression issues and bugs. Performance improvements are still pending, with the game holding a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
