I still remember my first attempt to set up a camp in Wiles. I thought it would be as simple as it would be to drop tents in the woods, probably fry some meat on the fire and call it one day. Oh, how wrong I was. Instead, I began to back the center layout with a demon, I felt that I had lost interest. Learned lessons: Preparation in Monster Hunter lives.
So let’s dive deep in the way Demon Hunter Wilds set up camp, why it matters, and how to use it strategically. Towards the end of this guide, you will not only know the steps, but will also understand the small tricks that can make you a smart, more effective hunter.
What You'll Discover:
Why camps are an unsettled hero of Demon Hunter Wilds
Before we go to Nitti, Gitty to set up camps, let’s talk about why they mean something. Think of camps like your individual safe house in nature , like the points in the old RPG, but in a more dynamic way.
What do camps give you here:
A safe shelter , you can relax peacefully, relax and fix. No monster is going to jump here.
Fast travel points , camps are quickly bothering you on the map. This is a game, cheat when HUNT takes you from one biome to another.
Resource access camps often have supply boxes, and sometimes you can eat or make crafts even without worrying about being interrupted.
Strategic benefits , establishing a camp near the area of a demon can reduce shutdown and maintain pressure under prey.
When I first realized this, it clicked for me: camps are not just alternative luxury , they are living hubs.
How to set up a camp in Monster Hunter Wilds
Now for the meat of this guide: to set up camps. When I first discovered it, I found scattered tips, semi , baked explanation and forum debates. So let’s bite through the noise with a step by step break.
Step 1: Find a suitable location
Camps can’t be installed just anywhere. You need to find out the specified areas on the map.
These regions usually look like open clearing or tuck up spots, often manifested through exploration.
Pro Tip: Look for places that seem safe, shelter and to some extent the central regions.
Personal Note: I destroyed once 20 minutes and tried to set up camps on a rock because I felt it had a killer scene. SPOILER: The game doesn’t care about your beauty options , it cares about practicality.
Step 2: Clean the Demons area
If the enemies are nearby, you cannot set up camps.
First defeat or operate nearby organisms. Even small demons can destroy your installation.
Think of it like punching a tent in the woods , you don’t want you to rub around your supply while you bet.
Step 3: Collect the required material
Camps usually need to install specific resources.
These may include:
Wood or roll for structure
Stone or ore for reinforcement
Monster parts (sometimes required for stardier camps)
Keep a storage ready, especially if you know that you reach the depth of an inexplicable zone.
Step 4: Conversation and Construction
When fulfilling the requirements, you can interact with the specified location.
A hint will appear so you can set up the camp.
Look at your hunter (and maybe your palico) get to work on the construction of the base of your temporary house.
Step 5: Unlock Fast Travel
After the design, the camp becomes a quick travel point.
You can come back here when you need to heal, make or reorganize.
Boom. That’s it. You have just made a lifeline in the forest.
General errors while setting up camps
Let me protect you from the mistakes of some misunderstandings, which I did personally (and later laughed.Okay, crying sometimes).
Trying to build in war
No. You can’t hit a tent with breathable Rathalos under your neck. Always clean the area first.
Forget the material
I once pulled halfway on a map, found the right place and felt that I did not have enough ore with me. To retire and destroy 30 minutes. Crook trick.
IGNORE CARD SETTING
Establishing camps away from monster areas can feel safe, but it defeats the purpose. Camps should reduce travel time, it should not be included.
Do not unlock many camps
Do not stop on one. The more the camp you unlock, the more flexible you hunt.
Best places to set up camps
Each hunter has its own priorities, but here are some common strategies:
Central location: Great for quick access in many regions.
Near monster close: risky, but fantastic to shorten the chase.
Resource , rich region: Perfect if you are agricultural material.
High Ground Spot: Give you a practical point and protection against ground based ambush.
Example: In a desert biome, I always put up camps near an oasis. It gave me water to cool, the surrounding resources, and half was enough to cut the travel time in two.
Camp as part of a major strategy
Here the camps go from “good, to, the, recent” to “Required strategy”.
Think of the camps like your Midtre, Shikar post. Instead of going back into the base (wasting time and endurance), you can point from a nearby camp. It allows:
Fast recovery: Legs and jump back without losing speed.
Skilled agriculture: Farms and resources in cycles without long breaks.
Team coordination: In multiplayer, acts as a rally point to organize the camps again.
I once played a four player chase where we all had different camps. During the middle hunt, when things became chaotic, we quickly traveled in the same camp and organized again. The simple trick saved the prey.
Troubleshooting: Why can’t I put the camp?
Sometimes the game refuses to set up the camp and it can feel misleading. Here’s the reason:
The demons are very close. Clean the first area.
You have a lack of necessary materials. Always check your inventory again.
This area is not a valid campsite. Not every open area is eligible.
You have not made great strides in history. Some camps unlock only after specific assignments.
Personal Travel: From Cloules to Camp Pro
When I started dismantling Hunter Wiles, I was Claul. I treated camps as an alternative fluff and ran back to the base after unconsciousness. It wasn’t until my third unsuccessful attempt to take down a particularly dirty animal that I realized that I was healing.
For the first time I established many camps properly, it felt like a revelation. Suddenly the victim became smooth. I didn’t waste time. I was nervous when my health fell. I had options.
And this is the beauty of the demon hunter , it teaches you through testing, mistakes and endurance. The installation of the camp is not just about keeping the tent down , it’s about preparing, adapting and learning to survive.
