A Living World
A world with an ever-changing climate.
Life here has learned to adapt to the harsh environments, the wildlife developing its own ecosystem,
and the humans developing their own culture within it.
Changing Environments
Experience two distinct seasons in the massive, ever-changing environments found in the game.
Fallow, a period where hungry predators roam the land for food, is followed by an ecology-altering Inclemency, leading to a rich period of Plenty.
The same locale may look completely different between depending on the two seasons.
Each environment is inhabited by its own apex predator, which will appear during the area's Inclemency.
Discover how the people and monsters have adapted to the wild changes of the land.
Each area contains settlements established by peoples that have called that environment home for generations.
Experience how each community has grown and adapted to their environment, and how their culture and daily lives have been shaped by this adaption.
In the Forbidden Lands, you'll encounter not only herds of small monsters—some of the large monsters of the region may also form packs.
Each group has its own place in the ecosystem, with its own unique movements and behaviors.
Windward Plains
The Windward Plains are a diverse region filled with sandy deserts,
swaying grasslands, twisting rock formations, and other natural features.
As a member of the Research Expedition charged with investigating the Forbidden Lands,
the Windward Plains is the first new hunting locale you'll visit.
This land experiences an Inclemency known as the Sandtide, a great sandstorm roiling with thunder.
Kunafa, Windsong Village
A settlement located in the Windward Plains, and the home of the Seikret.
The cheese produced by the livestock the people here keep is an essential part of their diet.
Monsters of the Windward Plains
Rey Dau
"From the look of it... That must be this region's apex predator."
A Flying Wyvern that rules the Windward Plains as its apex predator.
It has adapted to the lightning that accompanies the Sandtide, with most sightings having occurred during the storm.
Its ability to discharge electricity in powerful attacks pose a threat to even the most experienced hunters.
Balahara
Desert-dwelling leviathans that use their supple, serpentine bodies to create quicksand traps for unwary prey.
Quematrice
Brute wyverns with disproportionately long tails.
They spread a flammable substance, then ignite it by dragging their tails along the ground.
They can often be seen fighting with other, smaller carnivores over carrion.
Doshaguma
Rugged, territorial fanged beasts that exhibit an aggressive disposition and inhabit a large range. Sometimes observed in large packs.
Chatacabra
A large species of amphibians that use the adhesive quality of their saliva to affix stone to their forelimbs in order to power up their attacks.
Scarlet Forest
Following the river found in the Windward Plains will lead you to the verdant Scarlet Forest, with its towering trees and abundant water.
As you take your first steps here in your journey, your eyes are drawn to the peculiar red-colored water found on the forest floor...
This land experiences an Inclemency known as the Downpour, a torrential rainstorm that floods the surrounding area.
Wudwud Hideout
A Lynian tribe called Wudwuds inhabits the Scarlet Forest.
Tucked away deep in the forest is the Wudwud hideout, where the creatures reside.
Monsters of the Scarlet Forest
Uth Duna
"This is its territory. And we're intruders..."
A Leviathan that rules the Scarlet Forest as its apex predator.
It has adapted to water-rich environments and is sighted most often during the Downpour.
It makes use of the moisture and its own bodily fluids to create a protective veil around itself.
Lala Barina
A Temnoceran that resides in the Scarlet Forest.
Its thorax, which can be opened at will, resembles a rose in bloom.
Oilwell Basin
A unique locale where, as its name suggests, oil wells up from the ground and accumulates in deep pools of oilsilt.
This land experiences an Inclemency known as the Firespring, a phenomenon in which fierce fires blaze.
Azuz, the Everforge
The village of Azuz formed around its large forge.
Its people live as skilled craftsmen, utilizing the unique materials of the region and techniques passed down through the ages.
Monsters of the Oilwell Basin
Nu Udra
"The Black Flame..."
A mysterious monster whose tales are passed down through generations by the people of Azuz.
Rompopolo
A brute wyvern that inhabits areas of deep oilsilt.
A brute wyvern that can spray toxic gas from the tip of its tongue and inject gas into the ground with its tail, causing noxious explosions to well up from underfoot.
Ajarakan
A fanged beast characterized by the flame-like protrusions that cover its back.
A fanged beast that will scrape its claws against its metal-infused carapace to create a red-hot, molten-like effect.
The region's greatest threat becomes active during the Firespring.
Iceshard Cliffs
A frigid land swept with snowy blizzards.
Monsters of the Iceshard Cliffs
Jin Dahaad
"How can a creature be that big?..."
Hirabami
A leviathan that inhabits the Iceshard Cliffs.
Razor-sharp claws at its tail and a wind-catching membrane on its neck allowing it to float makes the Hirabami a uniquely dangerous foe.
