Your Palico is more than just a companion; it's a vital ally in Monster Hunter Wilds. Learn how to deploy your Palico effectively in combat, utilizing its unique skills and support capabilities to turn the tide of battle. Strategic Palico deployment can mean the difference between success and failure.
The journey begins with character creation, where you'll des both your Hunter and your Palico. Your Palico can be customized later at the Base Camp tent. Early in the game, you'll witness your Hunter heroically leap onto a Seikret to save a child, initiating the main quest. Your Palico will be with you from the start, offering support. As you progress, you'll gain access to the smithy, where you can forge and upgrade Palico equipment. Pay attention to any tutorials or NPC interactions that explain how to command your Palico in battle, such as directing it to attack specific monster parts, use support items, or draw monster aggro. Different Palico types or gear might offer specialized abilities, so experiment to find the best synergy with your hunting style and the monsters you face.
