As a dedicated fan, I must confess that the current critical acclaim and robust commercial success of Monster Hunter Worlds is quite a departure from the more modest origins of this beloved series. In stark contrast, the initial Monster Hunter on PS2 was met with widespread criticism by critics and failed to make waves commercially in North America. This lackluster performance led to its sequel being exclusive to Japan, due to the series’ overwhelming popularity in that region. However, over time, the franchise has managed to carve out a substantial presence in the Western market, eventually earning a place among Capcom’s most prominent intellectual properties. The release of Monster Hunter Worlds (and its impressive sales numbers) marks a significant milestone for the series, as it feels like we’ve come full circle and witnessed the realization of its true potential.

Today, Capcom revealed that they will release patch version 1.000.05.00 on March 10th. This update is significant as it aims to rectify an issue that has been preventing players from progressing in Main Mission: Chapter 5-1 ‘Omens.’ Previous patches have addressed numerous bugs hindering game progress, but this particular bug seems to have gone unnoticed.

In simpler terms, First Aid Medications are exclusive items given at the start of a quest and can’t be found elsewhere. To store these meds in your personal inventory for use in battles, you need to interact with your Secret Pouch (use the left arrow on your D-pad while engaging with the creature). This way, you can transfer the First Aid Meds into your pouch and utilize them during fights to restore health.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, your Palico companions will advance in rank following missions and gain new skills. Some of these skills will automatically improve as you progress through the game, while others require completing side quests for unlocking or upgrades. However, it’s important to note that players don’t have direct control over when their Palicos use these abilities; instead, the AI is clever enough to decide when it’s appropriate to deploy them. Among all the skills available in the game, these ones are particularly beneficial.

As an eager fan, I’m thrilled to share that Nexon’s newest addition, “The First Berserker: Khazan,” is set to make a grand entrance in the beloved Dungeon and Fighter universe. For those who wish to sample the game before diving in deep, a free demo is available on Steam at present, offering a glimpse into both the gameplay mechanics and the intriguing narrative. Mark your calendars, fellow enthusiasts, as this Souls-like masterpiece is scheduled for its official release on March 27, 2025!
