The Material Retrieval mechanic in Monster Hunter Wilds becomes available after reaching High Rank and completing the main storyline. Players can unlock it by completing specific sidequests, with the first two being "Beware the Gypceros" and "Aida's Apprehensions." Villagers in the Forbidden Lands assist players by gathering essential items. Resting in a tent refreshes the items collected by villagers, and setting them to gather 'Any' provides a variety of items. The Gathering Boost mechanic is activated by helping a settlement in distress, allowing item gatherers to collect resources at an accelerated rate and enhancing item trading limits in the region.
The fishing mini-game on mobile requires tapping the screen at the right moment. The inventory system allows for easy tapping, dragging, and placing of items. The game involves fishing in a peaceful setting during the day, but at night, a fog rolls in with dangerous creatures. Upgrading your boat with resources allows for better equipment, but overconfidence can lead to disaster. The game features excellent music, sound effects, animations, and world design. The characters encountered have compelling stories, and the mutated fish descriptions are vivid. Some islands in the game are less compelling than others, with minor irritations like vines obstructing paths.
Novacrystal is a crucial material in Monster Hunter Wilds for enhancing weaponry, particularly for the final weapon of the Ore tree and the second Rey Dau weapon. It is accessible only upon reaching High Rank. Players can obtain Novacrystal through two main methods:
1. Harvesting mining outcrops in the Ruins of Wyveria during High Rank, with notable locations near the entrance to Sild, area 5, and area 8.
2. Breaking the head of a Gypceros during High Rank hunts, which has a 30% chance of yielding a Novacrystal, while destroying its wounds has a 12% chance.
Novacrystal is a rare drop, and players may need to wait for mining nodes to reset or rest at their tent for 300 Guild Points to refresh them. Engaging with the Gypceros also unlocks villager Material Gathering in the region.
The axolotl, scientifically known as Ambystoma mexicanum, is a critically endangered amphibian that serves as a symbol of identity and resilience for the native people of Mexico. It is particularly significant in the context of the chinampas, ancient floating gardens in Xochimilco. The axolotl has gained international fame through popular culture, including its inclusion in the video game Minecraft and its depiction on the 50-peso bill by the Central Bank. In Mesoamerican mythology, the axolotl is linked to the god Xólotl and the myth of the Fifth Sun. Biologically, the axolotl can regenerate parts of its heart, spinal cord, and brain, and has dual breathing capabilities through gills and skin. It can live up to 15-20 years in captivity, compared to a few years in the wild due to habitat degradation. The health of the axolotl is closely tied to the condition of its habitat, which faces pollution and urbanization threats. Conservation efforts are essential for both the axolotl and the chinampas, highlighting the importance of community involvement in preserving these cultural and ecological treasures.
The upcoming Minecraft Movie, set to premiere on April 4, features a character called Chicken Jockey, depicted as a large, green-skinned creature riding a chicken, which has drawn comparisons to the Marvel superhero, the Hulk. Fans have reacted on social media with a mix of humor and disdain, sharing memes and GIFs expressing their opinions. The Chicken Jockey is a familiar mob in the Minecraft universe, appearing as a newborn zombie riding a chicken. The filmmakers aimed to enhance the chaotic essence of Minecraft's mobs, presenting them humorously and formidably. While some viewers find the design amusing, others worry it may overshadow the film's world-building efforts. Critics are optimistic about the film's originality but caution against an overreliance on meme culture.
