Winter is officially here and that means that Monster Hunter: World is having a bit of a party. While the newest monster is still the Elder Dragon Lunastra, there’s a lot going on in the game with Kulve Taroth once again on the loose, and some brand new challenges to obtain Winter Star Tickets for the new costumes. The console versions currently have a few monsters that are not currently in the game. Some are permanent additions, while others are limited time events and collaborations. This guide will go over the events currently live, as well as some background information of the four monsters currently not available in the PC version, including battle tips for fighting them and lore.
Ho ho ho! Merry Monsterchristmas! ’tis the season for those most seasonal of events, and Monster Hunter: World looks holly-jolly in its new event. The Winter Star Fest brings warm winter wear, a festive fondue, and cute snowman outfits for your palico catpal. Older seasonal hunts have returned too, so you can treat yourself to something nice (albeit still warm and dripping with the monster’s blood) this Christmas.
Monster Hunter World is getting in the festive spirit with its first ever Winter Star event. It's accessible now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and introduces new quests, new outfits, new Guild Card customisations, and more.
The focal point of Monster Hunter World's Winter Star Fest is Astera's Gathering Hub - otherwise known as the Celestial Pursuit - which is currently festooned in seasonal trimmings. It will remain so until the event ends at 11:59pm on December 17th on all platforms.
During the event, players will be able to collect Winter Star Tickets which can be used to craft the Orion α outfit - a high-level armour set for female hunters - alongside the standard Orion series, a low-level armour set for male hunters. Winter Star Tickets are also required to craft the Snow Set, which transforms your trusty Palico pal into an adorable snowman.
Since Monster Hunter: World’s PC version was released, we’ve seen a steady string of updates and events to keep players coming back from new monsters to collaboration events. Even after a short time away from the game, it can be rather diffucult to just leap back in for a new side quest or monster fight. So in order to level the skill gap between dedicated and infrequent players, this guide will bring everyone up to speed with what to expect in this deceptively taxing game.
Lunastra is the latest monster in Monster Hunter: World to get a confirmed release date, and it’s relatively soon. Therefore we’re updating our list of currently known events, including the current on-going limited time events and possible future collaborations. These monsters and Elder Dragons will surely test your skills as a monster hunter. The console versions currently have a few monsters that are not currently in the game. Some are permanent additions, while others are limited time events and collaborations. This guide will go over some background information of the four monsters currently not available in the PC version, including battle tips for fighting them and lore.
Yet another monster has been introduced to Monster Hunter: World, and this time it is other half of the Elder Dragon power couple – Lunastra. This azure variant on Teostra is more powerful, more prone to erupting into a fiery inferno, and its blue flame patches can have some utterly bizarre interactions with other Elder Dragon attacks. This guide will go over the strengths and weaknesses, as well as all these interactions that you should be aware of going in, while of course keeping your distance.
