While many players dive into Monster Hunter Wilds with the primary goal of hunting monsters, the art of capturing them is equally significant and can lead to some amusing interactions. As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, lingering after a capture can reveal a playful behind-the-scenes moment. After capturing a Nu Udra, players who wait long enough will witness the giant cephalopod simply getting up and leaving, much to the amusement of the community. Some fans even likened the scene to the end of a film shoot, adding to the fun and light-hearted atmosphere.
In terms of lore, the reason behind this phenomenon isn't entirely clear, but it aligns well with the game's catch-and-release philosophy. The research team, led by Alma, doesn't use giant cages, suggesting a more humane approach to studying these creatures. This method fits seamlessly with the narrative and the overall ethos of the Monster Hunter Wilds storyline.
These whimsical moments showcase the attention to detail by Capcom's developers. Instead of a simple fade-out, they've included an animation where the captured monster, albeit missing some limbs, scurries off into the distance. It's a humorous yet thoughtful touch that offers a glimpse into the research methods employed by Alma and her team.
