"Monster Hunter Wilds: Captured Monsters Vanish from Stage"

Most people associate Monster Hunter with the thrill of hunting monsters, but capturing them is equally significant. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful and humorous interaction that occurs after capturing a monster and sticking around.

As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, if you linger near a captured monster, you'll witness a charming behind-the-scenes moment. After capturing a Nu Udra, the giant cephalopod surprisingly gets up and leaves within a minute of its "nap." This amusing scene has led to light-hearted comparisons to a film set wrap-up, adding a touch of humor to the game.

For those curious about the in-universe 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 approach, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the storyline.

This playful interaction is a testament to Capcom's attention to detail. Rather than opting for a simple fade-out, the developers crafted a unique animation where the monster, albeit missing several limbs, scuttles off into the distance. It's a quirky yet insightful glimpse into how Alma and her crew conduct their research.

The recent Patch 1.000.05.00 for Monster Hunter Wilds addressed quest progression issues and fixed several bugs, although performance improvements are still in the pipeline. The game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
