"Monster Hunter Wilds: Captured Monsters Escape, Players Confirm"

Author : Oliver May 04,2025

Most players think of Monster Hunter primarily as a game about hunting monsters, but capturing them is equally significant. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful interaction that unfolds after a successful capture.

As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, sticking around after capturing a monster can reveal a charming behind-the-scenes moment. After capturing a Nu Udra and patiently waiting, players witness the giant cephalopod simply getting up and leaving the scene. The community has humorously likened this to a film crew wrapping up a shoot, adding a light-hearted touch to the experience.

For those curious about the in-game rationale behind this phenomenon, it's worth noting that the research team in Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't use giant cages. Instead, the game adopts a catch-and-release method, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the research crew throughout the storyline.

This amusing little moment showcases the thoughtfulness of Capcom's developers. Rather than simply fading out the scene, they've included a unique animation of the monster, albeit missing some limbs and appendages, scurrying off into the distance. It's a quirky detail that not only adds humor but also offers a glimpse into the research methods of Alma and her team.

Patch 1.000.05.00 has recently been released for Monster Hunter Wilds, addressing quest progression issues and fixing bugs. While performance enhancements are still in the works, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
