In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the Forbidden Lands experience two distinct seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game commences during the Fallow season, characterized by a harsh environment with severe weather events and a scarcity of resources. This scarcity leads to heightened aggression among monsters, who are more likely to engage in combat with each other, intensifying the challenge for hunters.

Conversely, the Season of Plenty brings a warmer, more vibrant atmosphere with an abundance of flora and less hostile small monsters. The environment is filled with colorful changes, and resources like Endemic Life and various plants become easier to find. This season is a time of celebration for both the villagers in the Forbidden Lands and *Monster Hunter Wilds* players.

Between these seasons, brief but intense weather events known as Inclemency occur. These events amplify the weather's intensity and often set the stage for epic battles against Apex Predators. For instance, during the Pinnacle of the Pack Assignment, hunters face the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the Sandtide, a dramatic lightning-filled sandstorm. Throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll encounter various unique weather events that add thrilling challenges to your hunts against Apex Predators.
