Arachnophobe Mode is a setting in Monster Hunter Wilds that transforms the design of certain arachnid-like creatures into a shapeless blob. With this mode turned on, you won’t even be able to tell what the original design of these monsters are like in the game.

It is an accessibility feature that enables people who suffer from Arachnophobia to enjoy the experience the game has to offer. And you can turn it on and off as and when you need to. However, you should know that the mode only affects the smaller endemic life and creatures in the game and not the larger monsters you come across.

There are two ways in which you can turn this setting on in the game. The first one occurs when you launch the game for the first time. After picking the ‘New Game’ option, a prompt appears asking you whether you would like the specific mode turned on or off.

If you didn’t turn the Arachnophobe mode on during the game start screen, don’t worry. You can turn it on from the game’s setting menu later on as well. Here are the steps to follow to toggle this mode on:

  • Step 1: Exit the game and return to the title screen.
  • Step 2: On the Title Screen, choose the Options menu.
  • Step 3: Go to the Accessibility tab in this menu.
  • Step 4: Under Accessibility, go to the Arachnophobia Assistance option and toggle it on or off as required.

Keep in mind that you cannot toggle this mode from the Options menu while you’re playing. You can only change this when you go back to the Title Screen. Also, explore all of the accessibility features in Monster Hunter Wilds.
