How To Use Field Guide in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Monster Hunter Wilds Field Guide provides a comprehensive overview of each of the four options mentioned before. Its most used case is when we consider the information available within the Large Monster Field Guide section.
You need to keep in mind that the Field Guide is updated the more you successfully hunt a particular monster. You will notice a question mark sign and an “Unknown” prompt if you haven’t killed/captured that monster enough times. With that said, we get roughly the following data set of a monster:

- Breakable parts and tips
- Recommended Elemental Attack
