Monster Hunter Wilds: All Cooking Ingredients and Their Effects

There are plenty of Cooking Ingredients available in Monster Hunter Wilds. They provide different status effects and meal bonuses. As any hunter worth their salt will know, having a decent meal before a hunt is one of the most important steps of the preparation process. The boost in Health and Stamina can make the difference between whether you cart or not.

With Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom focused on different aspects of cooking and the ingredients the hunters get to use. The mechanic is further complimented by the animation, where your ingredient choice will determine the short cutscene.
