Here are some Wild Hearts tips and tricks to get you started on your Kemono hunting adventure.
The tips and tricks we’ve got here will help you survive more Kemono battles with slightly less damage. This game has a vast world to explore as well as a truly staggering array of monsters and attacks to battle, and while it is always your choice to learn everything on your own, and it is commendable, you may find a few tips and tricks helpful in making the process a little easier.
If you’re not sure which end of the sword to point at things, or even if you are an expert at hunting monsters, these tips are for you. There are enough things in Wild Hearts that are different to make it worthwhile for more attention, even though it will feel somewhat familiar to some people.
Wild Hearts tips and tricks might seem obvious, but we guarantee you they will all be helpful. A single slip-up or lapse of focus can and will get you killed, and you only need to do that a few times in a single hunt to have to start it all over.
You’re always within range
Generally, games like this play around with range and distance, but Wild Hearts does something different by giving its monsters a variety of ranged attacks to use. There’s a chance you will think you’re safe from the kemono you’ll be fighting if you go for a ranged weapon–and the bow is very impressive, so nobody will blame you. Monsters are capable of traveling a long distance in an instant, and even if they do not charge you, they still have ranged attacks. Don’t get complacent, just assume you’re always within range.
There is a wider distance between objects in the field than it appears.
Keep your health in top shape
Keep your health at the top of your mind in the same vein as that tip. Wild Hearts monsters hit fast and fiercely, and even though they’re less likely to combo you into nothingness to begin with, they’re still very likely to drain your health. The most effective way to stay alive is to always keep your health topped up. Managing items is easier than it is in Monster Hunter.
Be sure to pick everything up
Although not everything glitters, that doesn’t mean it’s worthless. Nearly everything you pick up can be useful at some point, so take advantage of it. You’ll find healing water on plants all over the map, especially in small areas. It’s critical to take these as often as possible to stay healthy, and we all like not dying.
Weapons experimentation
There are many cool weapons in Wild Hearts, and no matter what you’d normally use in other games, try them all semi-regularly to see which one you’ll enjoy the most. Since upgrades can be rolled back fairly cheaply in Wild Hearts, upgrading your weapon type to try out isn’t a waste of materials or effort. Plus, variety is the spice of life, too.
You should check out that map
Wild Hearts’ map is an invaluable resource. It shows you where monsters roam, where your buildings are, as well as any Dragon Pits you’ve accessed, or are still in. It is even possible to upgrade them from your map. You can also see where missions are, launch missions from your map, and keep an eye on everything–so keep an eye on it.
Use your Karakuri to its full potential
In Wild Hearts, the Karakuri is one of the most surprising features, at least if you haven’t been following the trailers. Basically, you can summon boxes, springs, healing items, walls, torches, and ziplines to help you with traversal and combat. Some of these items are easy to summon, while others require combining several items. Initially, they may feel clunky, but as you unlock them you can learn some of the combinations.
The settings can be adjusted
As with any game, this advice is worth noting here, especially since there are so many options available. You can adjust a lot of accessibility options in addition to basic stuff like graphics and sound quality. This includes whether you have to hold the button to interact with certain items. In any case, it’s worth checking out, because playing games should be fun, and it’s annoying to hold buttons.
