As you get deeper into Monster Hunter Wilds, the action ramps up with more monster fights.
Our guide is here to give you tips while clearly showing each objective.
All you have to do is speak with Alma to leave the Base Camp via a cutscene.
Once the cutscene ends back in Kunafa, The Investigation Continues mission does as well.
But the objectives imply you could use Screamer Pods tofight the Balaharas.
Fortunately, you only have to fight one.
The Balahara introduces another status effect, Waterblight.
This one drains your stamina which can be annoying if you ignore it.
You’ll need to either use a Nulberry or dodge a lot to remove it.
To avoid Waterblight, evade the Balahara’s gross mucus that they frequently spit and spray.
And unfortunately, they can reach the side of their body using their tail.
However, the Balahara telegraphs their tail attack since they raise it before hitting.
Similarly, Balahara will also raise their head high before spitting or lunging down at you.
Occasionally they’ll do this before swiping forward with their hand.
If you’re quick enough, you might use one when they go underground.
This will stun them, giving you an opening to safely deal damage.
Another quick opportunity to attack is when they’re tunnelling underground.
And if they’re enraged, they’ll do it quickly.
One final tip is to use your slinger to knock them down from the Fulgurite Pillar they will climb.
When the cutscene ends, use your slinger to release the livestock as a distraction.
This turns into a linear chase sequence where you’ll eventually need to get the Alpha Doshaguma’s attention.
I recommend hopping off your Seikret since it’s easier to attack without their erratic movement.
Once you’ve done enough, you’ll end up back on the Seikret for a second chase.
This leads to another cutscene before triggering the Alpha Doshaguma hunt quest.
As the Doshaguma gets lower in health, you’ll wound them more easily.
especially if you could successfully mount them to open wounds quicker.
Regardless of what monster you’re fighting, wounds are always worth focusing on to make a monster vulnerable.
After defeating the Alpha Doshaguma, follow Alma back to the Kunafa village.
Once the cutscene ends, you’ll have finished A Hunter’s Pride and Chapter 1-4.
This leads into our next Monster Hunter Wilds walkthrough forChapter 1-5.
