Start Your Week With New Event Quests
In this week’s Monster Hunter Wilds update, things get both strange and exciting. The Event Quest board has been refreshed, and hunters are diving into a trio of fresh encounters. If you haven’t yet checked in with the in-game News cat, it’s time. They’ll flag your new limited bounties and clue you in on what’s new.
As usual, complete those bounties for your pick-a-meal vouchers and other rewards. It’s a great way to build momentum before you start clearing out the new quests.
Kutu the Forest Conqueror: Hunt With Humor
The first quest to tackle is titled Kutu the Forest Conqueror, and it’s exactly the kind of quirky encounter that makes this franchise special. You’re up against a tempered Yanduku—yes, the classic bird wyvern. It’s set in the stormy Scarlet Forest, offering a mix of nostalgia and fresh chaos.
Despite its title as the “protector of doom and chaos,” this isn’t a terribly difficult fight. However, it’s fun, fast, and loaded with personality.
Farm the Woodwood Treasure for Crafting Materials
What makes this Yanduku quest worth doing isn’t the difficulty—it’s the event-exclusive rewards. Most notably, you’ll receive the Woodwood treasure, a special crafting material that’s key to unlocking one of the wildest Palico sets ever added.
You might also earn a few rarity 5 decorations and bonus shinies during the hunt. Not the rarest drops, but worth the time for those looking to max out every reward.
Unlocking the Wacky Woodwood Palico Armor
Now for the highlight of the week—Wacky Woodwood Palico Armor. This isn’t just another cosmetic; it’s one of the most charming and imaginative sets the series has released.
Once you’ve hunted down enough Woodwood treasure, head over to the Smithy. The armor isn’t found under your typical sets—this one’s all for your Palico. And trust us, it’s worth the materials.
What Makes the Wacky Woodwood Set So Special?
The Wacky Woodwood Alpha and Woodwood Guys Alpha sets are visually bizarre, borderline hilarious, and incredibly well-designed. Imagine your Palico as a fuzzy wooden log with googly eyes and a spiky fruit weapon—that’s the vibe here.
It’s goofy. It’s lovable. And it might just be the best Palico armor in Monster Hunter Wilds right now.
Armor Restrictions and Equipping Tips
One thing to note—this armor set must be equipped as a full suit. You can't mix and match the helmet and chestpiece with other sets. That means no hybrid builds for your Palico here, but honestly, this set is such a standout visually, you won’t want to.
The weapon included is a fruit lashed to a stick, dubbed “Spidey Pokey.” It’s delightfully ridiculous but fits perfectly within the playful side of the Monster Hunter universe.
Second Event Quest: Zoo Woo Ingredient Hunt
Moving on to the next quest—Zoo Woo. This three-star purple-ranked event is geared toward HR21+ hunters and brings another ingredient farming opportunity.
The monster itself is relatively standard, with no major surprises in the encounter. However, what sets this quest apart is its focused reward pool—especially if you’re after new food ingredients like garlic.
Ingredient Rewards: What You’ll Earn From Zoo Woo
The garlic drop rate seems solid, and the quest includes a selection of other culinary components. While it’s not the most efficient ingredient farm overall, it’s still worth running once or twice if you’re trying to expand your meal options.
You’ll also get standard armor and weapon decorations. The drop rates aren’t outstanding, but it’s a reliable filler quest between more serious content.
Stalking Supper Returns: Cheese-Focused Ingredient Quest
Also on the rotation this week is Stalking Supper, another food-focused quest. This time you’re facing a regular Khezu in a three-star challenge. This quest ties in with last week’s series of Khezu events, continuing the Qumetries ingredient farming trend.
You’ll be targeting Kafa Cheese, with the rest of the loot table padded out with generic meal items and basic drops.
Why Run These Ingredient Quests at All?
You might be wondering why these ingredient quests matter. The answer is simple—better ingredients mean better buffs from your meals. These quests may not be exciting hunts, but they’re the key to consistently activating the best food bonuses before tougher challenges.
Preparing for the Arch-Tempered Rey Return
Looking a bit further ahead, there’s some exciting news on the horizon for veteran hunters. The Arch-Tempered Ray is officially confirmed for a return in the upcoming weeks. If you missed this fight the first time around—or want a second shot at it—this is your chance to get back in the action.
While this fight isn’t live yet, it’s worth mentioning here so you can start preparing your loadouts, meal builds, and armor sets. If you haven’t fought an Arch-Tempered monster yet, expect increased aggression, damage, and unpredictability. It’s not just a harder version of a standard monster—it’s a full-tier jump in challenge.
What You Can Expect From the Return
Although we don’t have all the details yet, we do know it’ll likely launch before the end of June. Capcom has hinted that Title Update 2 is also still scheduled for release by month’s end, so the Arch-Tempered Ray Return may tie into that.
If you’re looking to gather materials or complete any unfinished builds, now is the time. The Arch-Tempered fight may offer exclusive decorations, higher-tier gear unlocks, or even new cosmetic armor, so make sure your hunter is ready.
Why This Week’s Event Quests Matter Long-Term
While none of this week’s hunts are particularly brutal, they still serve an important role. These kinds of lighter, ingredient and reward-focused quests are perfect for in-between patches. They help you gear up, gather rare materials, and get your loadouts in shape without the stress of high-stakes battles.
That’s especially important with tougher content—like Arch-Tempered monsters—looming just ahead. Think of these quests as prep rounds. Grab your ingredients, outfit your Palico, and stockpile useful rewards so you're ready for whatever’s next.
Is the Wacky Palico Armor Worth It? Absolutely
To circle back: the Wacky Woodwood Palico Armor is the true standout of the week. Even if you don’t care much about ingredient quests or easy event hunts, this armor is such a visual masterpiece that you’ll probably end up crafting it anyway.
It may not boost your Palico’s stats in game-changing ways, but this set proves that cosmetics can still steal the show. With spiked fruit, log armor, and over-the-top flavor text, it’s classic Monster Hunter humor at its best.
How To Efficiently Farm the Woodwood Treasure
If you're grinding for that armor, focus your efforts on completing the Kutu the Forest Conqueror event multiple times. The Woodwood treasure doesn’t seem especially rare, but you’ll want to stack it up to craft both the body and weapon components.
Equip decorations that increase material drop chances, eat a meal for gathering bonuses, and clear the quest quickly by targeting weak points. The faster you finish, the more treasure you can farm in less time.
Don’t Skip the Arena Rewards
While this week’s highlight is definitely the Palico armor and event hunts, don’t forget that the Arena also has fresh rewards. Nothing groundbreaking, but if you're missing arena-exclusive gear, it's another source of materials.
Check the Arena board and see what’s up this week. You might also find additional pick-a-meal vouchers or rare decorations as small bonuses, which can add up fast.
What Could Be Coming in Title Update 2?
Looking ahead, Title Update 2 is still somewhat of a mystery. We know it’s supposed to arrive by the end of the month, but Capcom hasn't revealed what it includes beyond vague hints and one confirmed fight.
Speculation points toward more Arch-Tempered monsters, a potential new biome, or another limited-time crossover quest. Whatever it is, prepping with this week’s lighter content is a good move—especially if you’re aiming to dive into new content on day one.
Tips To Make the Most of Event Weeks
Event weeks like this are great for relaxing grinds, collecting gear, and testing new builds. Here's how to make the most of them:
-
Use your most efficient loadouts to speed-run quests.
-
Farm multiple runs in one sitting to minimize gear switching.
-
Team up with friends or randoms to add some variety.
-
Prioritize the new Palico armor first—it’s the only time-limited cosmetic set this week.
Get In, Gear Up, and Look Ridiculous Doing It
Monster Hunter Wilds is at its best when it's a mix of absurd and intense. This week nails that balance. You’ve got silly, lovable Palico gear, ingredient quests that let you relax a bit, and a massive Arch-Tempered fight on the way.
Use this downtime to prep. Build your meal loadouts, clear out your decorations, and make sure your hunting crew is ready. Then when the challenge drops, you’ll be more than prepared.
Final Thoughts on This Week’s Update
In summary:
-
Don’t miss out on the Wacky Woodwood Palico Armor
-
Run the Kutu, Zoo Woo, and Khezu quests at least once for rewards
-
Keep your eyes open for the Arch-Tempered Ray Return
-
Enjoy this short break before the game throws tougher content your way
