Monster Hunter Wilds is huge, for new players and veterans alike. There are so many new mechanics and things to learn that are easily overlooked. So many things that veterans take for granted as something newbies probably know what they are talking about.

So let's go through the beginning moments of the game together and talk about a lot of things a newbie will need to know! That is, without trying to explain what every button does at every moment.
