Monster Hunter Wilds has a quite large roster of monsters for the skilled hunter to beat, and they’ve all got a weak spot.
As expected, some of them are easier to beat than others, but in the end, you won’t get far without the best weapons, upgraded armor, and maybe, the best settings for max FPS. Once you reach endgame, perhaps that won’t be enough – you’ll need to know where to hit those monsters hard.
