Monster Hunter Wilds – Large Monsters Guide

This Monster Hunter Wilds (MHWI) Large Monsters guide lists all 29 large creatures. These particular monsters are mostly main story related, so expect to encounter them as you continue with your journey.

As one would, perhaps, expect these monsters all have their own unique weaknesses. Some are weak to Fire, others Lightning or even Dragon. Knowing what your target’s strengths and weaknesses are will come in handy in making sure you get that ultimate victory over them.

After you are done defeating a Large Monster for the first time the game will, then, automatically add the monster to your quest and bounty list. Simply speak with Alma to initiate and repeat fights with these monsters as many times as you want. Which makes collecting materials and those, rather frustrating, crowns so much easier.

Let’s see their locations, strengths and weaknesses!
