In Monster Hunter World, only one player can enter the Training Area. In Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise), you will be able to practice in the Training Area with your freinds!

How to Play Online: Local Co-op and Demo Multiplayer

Unlimited Items

While in the Training Area, all your items will not be consumed. This is useful when you want to know the effects of certain consumables like Dash Juice or Demon Powder on your overall playstyle. You Bow Coatings and Bowgun ammo don't get consumed too!

Test the Capabilities of Your Buddies

拡大

The Hunter (or Hunters, in multiplayer) can bring Buddies inside the Training Area. This can also be a way to test out different Buddy equipment for you to use!

Buddy Equipment

Practice Your Gunner Skills

Ranged weapons (Bow, Light Bowgun, and Heavy Bowgun) can be practiced here without wasting resources like ammo and coating. Improve your aim and damage dealt here!

Adjust Settings from the Training Area Arena

拡大

It seems you can change the different settings for Toadversary and the target range by accessing a menu while inside the Training Area arena.

To do this, head over to the Start Menu by holding the Plus (+) button then go to Quests Tab (Tab 2) → Training Options. From there you may choose to change Settings for:

• Head Position
• Direction the Dummy is facing
• If the Dummy will track the player
• Set the action setting for the Dummy (Standby, Projectile Attack, Stomp)
• Set whether the Targets for the Firing Range is moving or not
• Set the number of Wirebugs (2, 3, Infinite)

Training Area Facilities

Toadversary, the Tetranadon Dummy

拡大

A huge dummy in the middle of the Training Area called Toadversary resembles that of a Tetranadon. The dummy's action will depend on the Training Options set by the player!

The Dummy Has Moves!

Depending on the Training Option settings, the dummy will have either a melee attack (Stomp) or a ranged attack (Projectile). This is a huge help especially with practicing the timings for all the counterattack moves and silkbind attacks introduced in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise).

The Dummy Can Be Stunned

When hit with blunt weapons, the dummy can be stunned. This can effectively give you an estimate of how effective your blunt attacks can be.

Gunner Practice Range

A practice range for gunners (LBG and HBG users rejoice!) is present in the Training Area. This can help refine your aim to aid for when you are fighting the real thing!

Cannon and Ballista Practice

拡大

Cannons and Ballistae are present in the Training Area. You can use this to practice for when you need to use them in Rampages or in the Final Boss fight.

How to Unlock the Training Area

Go to the Buddy Plaza then Move to the Training Area

The Training Area can be unlocked for the first time by first going to the Buddy Plaza. Buddy Expert Shirubei will introduce you to all Buddy Plaza facilities including the way to get to the Training Area.

Approach the boat then move to the Training Area! Once you've been to the Training Area for the first time, Training Area fast travel via the Village Map will be unlocked.

Training Area Secret Mural

There is a secret mural on top of the waterfall behind the dummy in the Training Area. The mural looks centuries old and may hold secrets regarding the Rampage!

How to Get to the Training Area Secret Mural

Optimal Route to the Secret Mural

This is the optimal route to get to the top of the waterfall where the mural is located.

See Optimal Route

#	Steps
1	拡大 Go up the vines to the left of the Training Area facing the dummy. They are very hard to miss because they cover most of the cliff face.
2	拡大 Wiredash up the first cliff to the right near the waterfall after climbing the vines.
3	拡大 Wiredash up another higher cliff across the waterfall. Aim very high using zL + zR so you could reach the flat cliff face - you will fall when you run up the angled cliff face.
4	拡大 Wiredash up the final cliff which gets you at the top of the waterfall.
5	拡大 Finally, follow the river upstream until you find a very old and moldy mural.

Use The Infinite Wirebugs Option

The fastest way to get to the mural on top of the waterfall is to set the Wirebug Gauge to Infinite Use in the Training Options then wiredash your way to the top! We suggest spamming zL + zR then point the reticle towards the top of the waterfall!

Secret Mural Drawings

The drawings on the secret mural depict the people of Kamura fighting against the Rampage. Not only that, there are silhouettes of specific monsters impressed on the mural - with the six of them confirmed to have Apex versions in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise)!

We think there is a pattern here and that we're going to get Apex Crimson Glow Valstrax in future updates but we don't know for sure until it's confirmed! Nevertheless, we are very excited!
