Monster Hunter Wilds: Walkthrough & Boss Guide

This is a story overview with notes on seven monsters (Guardian Doshaguma, Quematrice, Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, Zoh Shia and Arkveld). The game has far more story monsters than that, so it is not a complete walkthrough. The chapter and quest order follows PCGamesN's quest list, the plot summary follows Wikipedia, and weaknesses follow the Fextralife wiki and Gamer Guides.

Per Wikipedia, explorers led by former hunter Fabius find Nata, a boy from the Forbidden Lands, after his people, the Keepers, are attacked by the White Wraith. Your hunter and palico join the Avis Unit to investigate and escort Nata home. The White Wraith is Arkveld, a Guardian monster from the ancient civilization of Wyveria that has gone out of control. Zoh Shia, another Guardian, feeds on the Dragontorch. Gore Magala later spreads the Frenzy Virus, and the Oil-well Basin story ends with the Guild killing the elder dragon Gogmazios.

PCGamesN lists the first story hunt as Chatacabra (1-1). Chapter 1-3 sends you to the Scarlet Forest to hunt Lala Barina and Congalala, 1-4 has Balahara and a Doshaguma pack, and 1-5 ends with Uth Duna. The Focus Mode and wound system, in which repeated strikes create wounds that a Focus Strike can destroy for heavy damage and a stagger, is a core combat mechanic according to Wikipedia.

Chapter 2 begins with Rompopolo (2-1, weak to Water per Fextralife) and Rey Dau (2-2). Chapter 2-3 lists Nerscylla and Hirabami, and the chapter ends in 2-4 with Ajarakan and Nu Udra.

Chapter 3-1 involves Guardian Doshaguma and Guardian Rathalos, 3-2 Jin Dahaad, and 3-3 Guardian Ebony Odogaron and Xu Wu. Chapter 3-4 lists Guardian Arkveld and Zoh Shia, and 3-5 ends with Zoh Shia. PCGamesN notes that High Rank begins after Chapter 3-5.

In PCGamesN's list, Chapter 4 begins with a Yian Kut-Ku capture (4-1) and includes Frenzied Nerscylla (4-2) and Tempered Lala Barina (4-3, requires HR 20). Chapter 5 includes Jin Dahaad (5-1), and Chapter 6-1 has Arkveld. The article also mentions a post-game chapter without listing its monsters. Wikipedia says Gore Magala spreads the Frenzy Virus, which infects Arkveld, and that the hunter kills the infected Arkveld at Nata's request.
