How To Collect Vigorwasps For Your Palico In Monster Hunter Wilds

by

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the Hunter encounters numerous additional missions that offer remarkable prizes upon completion. Notably, some of these tasks demand more than just monster hunting, making them initially difficult to accomplish.

In the game, your Palico functions as an exceptional ally, particularly during battles. Not only does it provide crucial support by healing you and distracting monsters, but you can make it even more useful by finishing certain side missions.

How To Begin The Healing Help Side Quest

To initiate the “Healing Help” side mission, simply engage in conversation with your Palico companion, who can be found near your tent within the base camp once you have finished Chapter 3 and defeated Zoh Shia.

In your adventure, you need to find and capture a creature known as the Vigorwasp. Please note that this is distinct from the Vigormantle bug, which instantly restores your health and can often be spotted attached to the surrounding landscape.

How To Catch A Vigorwasp For The Healing Help Side Quest

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share a tip: Vigorwasps are prevalent worldwide, but if you’re seeking them out, why not venture to the serene Oasis nestled within the Windward Plains? Here, you’ll encounter not one, but two Vigorwasps that are perfect for capturing. Alternatively, you can instantly transport yourself to the Pop-Up Camp at Area 13, which will drop you right next to the Oasis in the Windward Plains region. Happy hunting!

To trap a Vigorwasp, it’s essential to change to a capturing tool, often found within the inventory wheel labeled “Essential Items.” After choosing this item, look for a grid-like sight when aiming with your Slinger, signifying you’ve selected the capture net.

As a gamer, when I get close to a Vigorwasp and line up my shot with the capture net on my Slinger, I’ll see the crosshair darken. This tells me that I’m within range for capturing a valid target. So, I pull the trigger, much like when I shoot any other type of ammo from my Slinger, and a net flies out, ensnaring the Vigorwasp.

Rewards For Completing The Healing Help Side Quest

Once that task is accomplished, it’s time for you to return to base camp for a chat with your Palico, which is essential to finish the quest. Following this conversation and the completion of the Healing Help side mission, your Palico will gain the ability to summon a Vigorwasp in combat.

In combat situations, a Vigorwasp proves incredibly useful compared to Vigormantle Bugs. Unlike them, the wasp creates an ongoing healing zone that lasts for quite some time, and more importantly, it continuously restores your health as you stay within its healing zone.
