It’s the most important aspect of your preparation, especially as a solo hunter. Seriously, don’t forget to eat before the hunt. The Chef’s Choice is your best bet, as it almost always provides significant health and stamina boosts, along with the occasional attack/defense bump. Lastly, visit the canteen on the third level of the headquarters (the cat chef), and purchase a meal. Even small increases in attack and defense go a long way during the lengthy hunts. You won’t always have the materials needed to upgrade your armor and weapons after each mission, but it pays off to check. Also, after taking down a new monster, you can craft its themed armor - which almost always has better stats than what you currently have on. It’s a always good idea to check to see if you can upgrade any of your weapons or armor with the materials earned from the last quest. With your healing items situated, visit the Smithy on the second level of headquarters. If you have close to 10 with you at all times, you will be in good shape. Before too long, you can use them to craft mega potions (potion + honey = mega potion) which restore much more health. We suggest buying plenty and sending them to storage. If you don’t have enough resources to craft potions, you can buy them for next to nothing at the provisions stockpile at headquarters. Since you won’t have teammates to heal you, you’ll want to max those out.

You can hold up to 10 of each consumable in your item pouch at one time. Early on, you’ll start to acquire herbs and other materials that turn into useful consumables like potions and antidotes.

Always come preparedīefore accepting a quest and heading out on your way, you need to prepare. Here’s how to flourish in Monster Hunter: World as a solo player on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Rest assured, though, you can find much success as a lone hunter - it just requires you to put your best hunting foot forward. The emphasis on multiplayer lends itself to the belief that solo play may not be ideal in Monster Hunter: World. The game encourages you to team up with friends or search for a hunting party via the matchmaking system. For the first time in the series, every quest can be tackled with a party of up to four hunters. Monster Hunter: World is designed with multiplayer in mind.
