|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Training Area |
 Suja, Peaks of Accord |
 Wounded Hollow Basin |
|||||||||
The Training Area is a special in the Plains Base Camp where you can practice combos and test builds on a dummy monster. The dummy's behaviors can be changed to allow you to practice other mechanics such as using your weapon's Offset Attacks.
Training Area Location and Features
Suja, Peaks of Accord is a small Wyverian town on top of the Iceshard Cliffs. Here you can access the services of Vio the Melder to transform unwanted decorations into another random decoration through Appraisal Items.
The Wounded Hollow is a special area where hunters can test their prowess against monsters in a small, enclosed space. This area functions similarly to the Arena from previous Monster Hunter games.
All of the Pop-Up Camp locations are places you would have to discover before being able to build camps. These locations allows you to place a Pop-Up Camp in where you can manage items, equipment, or cook food.
Fishing spots are sometimes tricky to find because the map doesn't exactly pin where fish can be found. We've set up a map of all fishing spots as well as tag the fish you can find there.
All Fishing Spots and Aquatic Life Locations
Bonepiles contain valuable monster bones which you need to craft several Armor and Weapons with. Each location in Low Rank and High Rank will yield different types of bone items.
Mining Outcrops yield precious ores that will help you craft powerful Armor and Weapons. The type of ore you mine is determined on the location and whether you're in Low or High Rank.

 HUD Settings |
|
| Recommended HUD Settings | |
|---|---|
| Minimap | Small, Default, or Large |
The HUD options on the Game Settings allows you to disable or resize the minimap. The size is entirely preference, but it's heavily recommended to not set it to Hide as the map displays many essential information you will need to traverse the various locales and hunt monsters.

|---|---|
| Town Areas | Large |
| Aim/Focus Mode | Small |
| Combat (Large Monsters) | Small or Default |
| Holding L1 / LB / Ctrl | Large |
The size of the minimap can be set to dynamically change based on your character's status or your button inputs. We recommend setting it to small for times where you have to focus on fighting a monster, and large when you're in town or traversing the map.
 Different Minimap Zooms |
|
| Recommended Minimap Scale Settings | |
|---|---|
| Town Areas | Large |
| Aim/Focus Mode | Default |
| Combat (Large Monsters) | Default |

The Minimap Scale option in the Game Settings dynamically changes the zoom level of your minimap depending on your button inputs or the status of your character. We recommend to set this to Large when in town or when pressing L1 / LB / Ctrl when you're exploring.
 Minimap Rotation Settings |
|
| Recommended Minimap Rotation Settings | |
|---|---|
| Minimap Rotation | Rotating |
The Minimap rotation option in the Game Settings enables the rotation of the minimap based on where the camera is facing. We recommend using the “Rotating” option to access important directional information quicker during hunts.
 Minimap Angles |
|
| Recommended Minimap Angle Settings | |
|---|---|
| Minimap Angle | Align Angle with Camera |
The Minimap rotation option in the Game Settings lets you control how the minimap displays the 3D layout of the map. Using the “Align Angle with Camera” option is recommended as it allows you to have both and overview or angled view of the map.
