   A guild appointed handler who relays monster hunt requests and authorizations, and also manages the player hunter’s quests in Monster Hunter Wilds. Alma will join the player in the field and throughout your adventure, providing useful information and helping keep track of your quests and supply items.

   Adventurer Archaeologist: While her current assignment is being a Handler, Alma is actually an anthropologist with a special interest in archaeology, and has a collection of old artificial archaeological relics she is very protective of. Bespectacled Cutie: She's a glasses wearing and geeky Cute Bookworm who can be rather endearing with her positive and caring personality as well as her enthusiasm for her work and subjects of interest. She's very proud of a special pair of glasses made by Gemma for her and has a quest in High Rank to retrieve them after having lost them in the forest. Catchphrase: "The Guild authorizes you to hunt ."

   A blacksmith assigned to the Forbidden Lands Research Expedition, Gemma is in charge of providing the Avis Unit's hunter with their weapons and armor.

   Assist Character: Following a sidequest in High Rank, Gemma will occasionally appear in the environment as a Hunting Assistant, armed with a new type of net trap that you can lure monsters into. She justifies this as field testing needed to refine the design before it can be accepted as an official piece of a hunter's kit. Big Sister Instinct: She is quick to bond with and act like a Cool Big Sis around the younger characters like Nata, Nona and Maki. She helps Alma and the Hunter look after Nata as they try to find a way to get him home while keeping a light and jovial attitude to keep Nata entertained, and she later takes a shine to Maki due to seeing a lot of her younger self in the girl. Gadgeteer Genius: On top of the ability to make gear from previously unknown creature materials (common to important smiths in these games), Gemma is known to both invent new devices like her customized net trap and replicate tools like mantles (previously only used by the isolated New World Research Commission) after merely hearing of them. Perhaps her most impressive in-game achievement is figuring out how to retrofit scraps of ancient Wyverian technology into the powerful and customizable Artian series of weapons.

   A mysterious child that's accompanying the Expedition after being rescued on the outskirts of the Forbidden Lands. According to his recounts, his people and village were attacked by a monster known as the "White Wraith", prompting the Guild to stage an investigation into the uncharted lands.

   Audience Surrogate: Particularly in High Rank. Being an apprentice Hunter, expedition members are happy to explain monster behavior (normal or otherwise) to him in detail, allowing smooth exposition of why strange happenings stick out to them. Bookends: Thrice. Nata starts the game being traumatized and hateful of Arkveld, to the point where the Hunter has to drag him away to stop him from recklessly attacking it unarmed and getting himself killed, with Nata tearfully begging them to use their weapon to kill Arkveld. Discovering the truth of Arkveld and how it just wanted to live life as a normal animal makes him more sympathetic to it, leading to him having to be dragged away again when Guardian Arkveld ultimately must be slain as it has gone mad with its new power, with him being reduced to tears begging the Hunter to not kill them. Finally, in High Rank, when the "true" Arkveld is being driven mad by consuming the Frenzy-tainted Wylk from the apex predators, although Nata is still sympathetic to it, this time he calmly asks the Hunter to slay it while mirroring the Hunter's own words when they put down the Guardian Arkveld, understanding that it's both a Mercy Kill and to preserve the greater ecosystem. For extra points, both his first breakdown and the finale with Arkveld both take place in the Wind's Gasp with Arkveld defeating a Rey Dau. Calling the Old Man Out: After Tasheen reveals to him and the heroes the truth of the Keepers' duties and the Guardians of Wyveria including the Guardian Arkveld who attacked their village, Nata lashes out at Tasheen in horror at the Guardians' existences as artificial slaves. Nata accuses the Keepers including Tasheen of perpetuating the stagnant and inhumae conditions that eventually caused Guardian Arkveld to rebel and lash out at them, with Nata sympathizing more with Arkveld for just wanting to be free and live like a normal monster after it reawakened/relearned its natural instincts.

   The Windward Plains is a vast and diverse region, stretching from golden grasslands to arid deserts, with jagged rock formations twisting across the horizon. As part of the Research Expedition tasked with uncovering the mysteries of the Forbidden Lands, this will be the first new hunting ground you set foot in. However, this land is anything but tranquil. The region is shaped by a powerful Inclemency known as the Sandtide, a massive, thunderous sandstorm that sweeps across the plains.

   Scarlet Forest is a dense, sprawling woodland renowned for its mesmerizing crimson hues. Its red-tinted waters weave through an ecosystem where every root, leaf, flower, and fruit thrives in mutual support. Insects, for instance, play a vital role in pollination through a process called entomophily, coating themselves in pollen as they flit from bloom to bloom. It's like nature’s way of helping each other out.

   Oilwell Basin is a large rocky terrain that has several pools of oil, several stalactites can be seen on the ceilings and under the ledges. According to the Monster Hunter developers, Oilwell Basin is inspired by the deep sea, which can be seen in some images in the gallery below with both the stalactites that grow from the ceilings of the more compact areas, and the large stalagmites structures that grow from the ground up over a pool with what looks like glowing algae by the surface areas.

   This area has a changing weather cycle with Plenty that appears to be in its normal state with the sun rays shining over the oil pools, Fallow appears to have a blue hue in the area with a little fog, and lastly, Firespring glows orange, and has steam coming out of oil pockets and areas that are set ablaze. This weather cycle appears to change quite quickly or it may need an element to trigger the weather change.

   These oil pools may seem like an inconvenience as it can easily cause explosions and disrupt your momentum during combat but that will also benefit players when going against the large monsters in this area such as Nu Udra, Rompopolo, and Ajarakan. These monsters can also get into turf wars with each other when they encounter one another, a strategy here is to get a Large monster to follow you and bring it to another Large monster to initiate the turf war and ignite the surrounding oil pools to deal damage to the large monsters to get them weak. Some Large monsters in this area use the environment to their advantage when attacking you, as one can trigger the oil bubbles beneath you to pop, steam can be seen coming up from the ground before exploding, this causes you to get knocked back and deals some damage to you. Another Large monster deal fire or lava damage which can be spread onto the oil pools, causing them to have a layer of fire over it.

   Iceshard Cliffs is a brutal, snow-covered region where freezing winds and relentless blizzards shape the towering ice formations and sheer cliffs. The region’s jagged peaks stand tall against the howling storms, making navigation treacherous for hunters and explorers alike. Snow blankets the land with visibility often reduced by swirling frost and biting winds. Despite the harsh conditions, unique wildlife has adapted to the extreme cold.

   The Ruins of Wyveria are what's left of a once-great capital and is now a forgotten civilization. Once a center of power and innovation, all that remains are crumbling structures and lingering traces of the past. Recently, Olivia uncovered evidence of an unusual phenomenon within these ruins, as well as signs of a Lala Barina, a woodland species foreign to this region.

   The Keepers' village in the Ruins of Wyveria. They live on Wyvern Milk as they carry on their duty to keep watch over the Guardians.

   Sild the Keepers' Vigil Background The Keepers have preserved the traditions of this land for countless generations. Long ago, this place was known as Wyveria, the capital of a once-thriving civilization. What remains today is the outer bailey, a fortified wall that once surrounded the city's vast expanse. The people of Wyveria harnessed limitless energy, granting them the power to control nature itself. With this mastery, they built an advanced society that flourished at the height of prosperity. But in time, Wyveria fell, and its people, along with their civilization, vanished, leaving only scattered remnants of their once-great legacy.

   One such remnant is the Wyrmway, a network of energy pathways designed to transport power across great distances. These conduits continue to channel energy throughout the land, though their true effects have long since been forgotten. At the heart of Wyveria’s energy production, the Keepers remain, their lives sustained by the very force their ancestors once wielded.

   After Wyveria’s collapse, the Keepers chose to stay, dedicating themselves to safeguarding its memory. Their silent vigil has endured for ages, ensuring that the knowledge of the past is not completely lost. Within their settlement lies an archive of research journals, relics of a bygone era. However, much of their contents are now indecipherable to the villagers. The Keepers are the last descendants of Wyveria’s scholars, once brilliant researchers who unlocked the secrets of limitless energy. But today, they are simply people trying to survive amidst the echoes of their past.
