Pause Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* thrives on the camaraderie of multiplayer sessions, diving into solo adventures has its own charm. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to pause your game in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Pause Game During Quests and Hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds

To pause your game in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply press the Options button to bring up the menu. From there, navigate to the Systems tab using L1 or R1. Once you're in the Systems tab, select the Pause Game option by pressing the X button.

This feature is incredibly useful, allowing you to pause the game at any point during your solo adventures, whether you're in the midst of a thrilling hunt or engaged in combat. To resume, just hit the circle button or R3, making it easy to get back into the action when you're ready. This is particularly handy when real-life interruptions occur, ensuring you can step away momentarily without losing progress.

Note that this pause functionality is available even when you're online, as long as you're in single-player mode without any other players in your lobby or party.

Can You Pause While Playing Multiplayer?

Unfortunately, pausing the game is not an option when playing *Monster Hunter Wilds* in multiplayer mode. If you have other players in your lobby or linked party, you won't be able to pause. In such cases, your best strategy is to position your character in a safe spot to avoid taking damage while you're away from the controls.

In an online session, traditional pausing just isn't feasible. Additionally, remember that monsters have larger HP pools in multiplayer, so it's important not to stay away for too long, as your team might need your assistance to take down the beast.

That's everything you need to know about pausing your game in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, make sure to check out resources on The Escapist.
