Prepare for the Monster Hunter Wilds Chapter 1-2 using our guide to learn a new monster.

When you’re finally ready, you’ll explore the Windward Plains a bit before fighting a new monster.

However, your options are limited for now since you’ve only fought the Chatacabra.

Once you’ve completed the objectives, make your way to the Expedition Command tent.

You’d almost not realize it exists if you didn’t check the mission list.

All you have to do is speak with Alma to complete The Beginning.

Similar to the Monster Hunter Wilds intro, you’re along for the ride as you follow Y’sai.

Watch for an optional objective where you’re able to observe different small monsters.

Soon after, you’ll come across the honey you need.

you’re able to either grab it using your slinger or by running up to each beehive.

Once you grab from at least three beehives, you could follow Y’sai to his village.

Unfortunately, you’ll lose the luxury of travelling by Seikret upon arriving.

You’ll get a chance to fight some small monsters, the Bulaqchi.

Afterwards, you’re free to continue returning to Base Camp.

Then, speak to Jack and you’ll unlock a shop to buy and sell items.

Jack will also give you new gadgets to play with like your Capture Net.

Once you’ve finished talking to each character for your objectives, it’s back out into the wild.

Prepare for the Quematrice fight

Fighting the Quematrice introduces the Fireblight status effect.

This deals damage to you over time but you could quickly remove it using a Nulberry.

Otherwise, you’ll have to dodge roll a lot.

With a monster like this, you’ll mostly aim for their legs.

But, don’t be surprised if you get caught off guard by tail attacks.

Once you’ve slain the Quematrice, you’ll teleport back to Base Camp for a cutscene.

This is where you get your own Seikret and a special saddle to carry a second weapon on them.

Afterwards, you could speak with Ferdinand to unlock the Monster Field Guide and Tom at the Ingredient Center.

There are two more characters to speak with here before getting back to the action.

If you’re not sure where they are, you could open your map to check.
