Wild Hearts - Ultimate Advanced Guide: Everything You Need for End-Game

[@FightinCowboy]

Be sure to check out the Beginners Guide for stuff you should be early on if you're just starting!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYKkiJ6Jmb2jaLM If you're looking for camp locations, I've added screens of those here on Twitter: twitter.com/Fightincowboy/status/1627432883961856000

So basically the best way to prepare food is to dry it and then smoke it. Since they boost buffs, especially drying. Pickling changes food stats with elemental buffs depending on the seasoning. So the best elemental food preparation appears to be: Pickling > Drying > Smoking. Edit: Nevermind on the pickling to drying part. It appears you can't dry pickled food. I guess it would be "too overpowered".

[@thekittenwithnoname]

Good...bc I legit just made random food...is it actually possible to make the food worse by drying/pickling/fermenting?

[@thekittenwithnoname]

Damn I guess so...no wonder why all my food is disappearing. Any good meat farms?

[@Ghoulbladezilla0107]

@@thekittenwithnoname while I don't have the game nor a playstation 5, but im definitely going to get them the first chance I get. Looking at the video, I don't think you can make the food worse. Drying and smoking enhances the skills. Pickling just changes the skills (depending on the seasoning) to like fire resistance or something similar.

[@Yordyc16]

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been watching your stream while I play and I’m obsessed with this game. I hope they fix the performance issues that I’m having so I can keep playing all day long

[@mightyowl5793]

Dude I've been watching you for years now. All these waifus and no how to make waifu guide. Give the people what they want. Deep analysis guides on what a waifu is and how to make one in a character creator.

[@mightyowl5793]

Seriously thanks for another quality guide from cowboy!

[@Kwat224son]

This game is better than monster Hunter by a mile! I love all the building things you can do while fighting the monsters and traversing the world. Also the combat feels so much more normal. No more swinging at air while the monster is slightly to my left. lol

[@ultimateblue2197]

Lol what in the world are u smoking I just started playing this game and it is completely dead as far getting players to join hunts plus the monsters in this game auto lock on to u even when u dodge and that's really annoying atleast in monsters hunter when I dodge successfully I know I'm not gonna get bs hit

[@zipjr2k2]

I personally love the spring board with the staff for the 4 cost finisher that hits pretty hard and is easy to pull off if you don’t have a window for the full finisher. Incredibly satisfying to pull off as well and good for high body parts you want to focus!

[@Lotus_on_YT]

You could probably do a whole video on camp & flying vine placement. I've been having tons of fun just trying to figure out the best way to set up my maps for optimal transport, tbh I've long forgotten about the main quest in favor of getting mats to place more dragon karakuri!

[@FightinCowboy]

I screen shot my placements and added them here: twitter.com/Fightincowboy/status/1627432883961856000

[@CAiNiAC]

​@@FightinCowboy this is awesome. Would love a guide for what you optimal line placements as well. Would be epic

[@makkura9245]

Wild Hearts and Wo Long marks a new age of Koei Techmo games to me. It has been a long time since we’ve seen new IPs that feels polished and actually worth purchasing and investing time into. They have been recycling content for so long (and they still do with these titles, but on acceptable levels), the graphics are still a notch behind modern standards, their Art style still carries around the “PS3 games with good lighting” feels, but it’s improving none the less. I am quite optimist for Koei’s future titles. Thinking that Wild Heart was brought to us by Omega-Force of all Koei teams, impressive. Sometimes we forget they can do something else than recycled musou games..!

[@jonoki]

Just hit chapter 4 and this is going to help me so much! Thank you Cowboy!

[@GoToBedSheeva]

Love how you mentioned smart placement.

[@aerostrafe1075]

I always have a hard time putting the spring down since I like the I frames in a lot of the hunts in this game.

[@Steadymobbin711]

Thanks man this was super helpful!

[@Tech_D3mon]

Looks like they took that whole "fashion being the endgame" thing a little bit too seriously 💀

[@cannedsoup83]

i love this game!?! i thought it was gonna be negative but there a 10 trial on game pass (xbox) its dope and the bladed umbrella is sicc!!!

[@JRFG]

Gotta say. You have very well thought out videos. While I was watching, I ended up having a question, turns out the answer was a few short minutes after I had that thought. Same with all your OG MH vids. So thank you 🙏🏼

[@Lorhin]

Thanks a bunch for these guides! Just started playing a couple days ago, and am having a lot of fun.

[@zikarisg9025]

Thanks for the guide, I see my mining operations are not expansive enough. The input for fusions in multiplayer is super frustrating, you press to fast and you will end up with a pile of garbage in front of you through which the monster will come crashing in comical fashion.

[@KainZC]

Just finished final boss last night and i was a bit confused what is this endgame about but now it's quite clear, it's for talisman farm and those layered armors orbs... And i will see myself wearing the garuda set forever then

[@MrBrandonakaB]

Man its sucks having a disability that keeps you from working. 2023 is a great year for gaming and I feel like I'm just going to miss out this year now that i lost my job from my type 1 diabetes. I'm so thankful for these great Indepth videos that FC does though cause although I'm unable to play I can still get a great look into all the systems and functions of these great games. Keep up the great work @FightingCowboy

[@tdchaps]

Have loved your footage of the game, Cowboy! You made me hyped for this…got it Friday on PS5 and can’t put it down 🎉

[@AcidRelic]

Thank you, I hope a lot of people watch this. The camp situation when helping others drives me crazy when they don't have a layout.

[@FightinCowboy]

Yes it's baffling

[@Trohall]

Because they don't have the resources. And why ist that... Because they ignore the three dragon pits, they come across during the hunt...

[@ravenousglavenus7656]

@@FightinCowboy ​ With all due respect, it's really not. The examples you've shown were clearly set purely for the sake of progression and otherwise neglected in favor of trying to get through the story/rush to endgame/etc. There's no need to be condescending about it like you were in the video, because while these camps absolutely need improvement and should be worked on it's also very easy to understand how some players might have a bit of difficulty convincing themselves to go back and take things slow when there's something new and exciting right around the corner. Personally, I love setting up a map to fit my needs and trying to plan things out - but even I have a few maps that are completely neglected because I've been too distracted by the grind and/or story. Nothing wrong with being frustrated by it, but I don't think it's that difficult to understand how and why it happens.

[@FightinCowboy]

Whenever I got to a new zone it took about 30 mins to run around and explore while looking for good camp zones while collecting dragon veins and requires very little effort. Your map having 1 camp tells me one thing: you're lazy. It's no different from people in monster hunter that are end-game with only the base camp. If we're hunting mighty kemono or volatile and your map isn't developed? Yikes

[@ravenousglavenus7656]

@@FightinCowboy Eh, to be fair my response was a little more in regards to your concerns about tower placement & flying vines. I'm especially on your side when it comes to camp placement, but in the video you go over more than just camps and that's the part that I personally disagree with. Speaking on behalf of myself with this one, but I don't really like setting up Flying Vines until I'm more familiar with a map's overall layout and where I'm going to be encountering Kemono the most. And I imagine this is especially true for people who are less likely to take their time and are instead trying to rush through the game. I'd wager they don't generally make it to that step where they're actually setting up transportation lines, unfortunately. Regardless, it comes down to a little more than just effort and often can reflect things like available time, attention span, and more. The whole "If I can do it, anyone can" thing doesn't really work when players like yourself and I tend to go hard in these types of games but the average player generally does not. Which brings me back to my overall point, it's not about whether or not it's right. This is literally the most frustrating way to go about progressing through the game - especially if you're asking for help and effectively handicap your teammates by giving them no transportation resources to work with. You claim it's baffling, you suggest you don't understand it, but it's very obvious how and why this happens.

[@carlito3810]

Dude - you were taking nots on stream yesterday and today you release the video!! It really helped me out! esp with the setup for cages and farming. Would you mind Taking Screenshots of your maps so I can try to rebuild mine after yours? And provbably show those on twitter?

You can use the flame torch for weapon as spring if you spawn 2 fast and on top of each other. A jump attack with flame buff is good and easy to spam.

[@TheOniklaz]

Transmog could use an overhaul, it's way too expensive to craft 1 piece of gear, even doing sub 2 min runs

[@randiannahdi]

Seriously bro the droprate for respective place orb was kinda abyssmal.

[@albertogasparella4853]

Do you know anything about the “dismantling weapon power up” for retrieve the materials used at the cost of a little fee? I’have seen something in some written guides but I’m at the end game and not yet unlocked. Thank you for the amazing guide.

[@Luke_Wentz]

Agreed transmogs are punishing can't even dye them like the armor

[@irondisciple2984]

These games need to include some sort of endgame to keep the players playing. End game shouldn't be farming mats to craft trans or talisman/decorations. End game should be like arenas where solo players or groups compete against other players to see who kills the monsters faster for unique rewards. Put two groups in one arena with both monsters each group needs to take on. The assigned monster for each group can't harm the opposing monster but they can help it in staying longer alive by disrupting the other groups progress with traps laid out or specific mechanics. You know something fun. A ranking system for fastest monster kill etc get special rewards.

[@corywertz9268]

Last night I started going around optimizing my maps cause my buddy's were horrible lol. I hated finding a sick spot for a camp and not being able to put one down, stupid dragon pits. Also, I have like 550 on my katana, one spot up left where Cowboy finished, but I still only do 7 damage on hits? That is super annoying, even if soft spots and bigger attacks do hit harder, one swipe shouldn't do that little.

[@brettseaberg5033]

Has the button inputs for your kuri always been in the top right corner?!? Or is it a setting? I can't be that blind in a hunt! I'm going off memory.

[@FightinCowboy]

You turning on the options if it's not

[@Doniwritesstories]

I love your guides. Actually you made me buy the game and I'm trying to follow your guides :) Just that I can't get warm with the combat system... it feels so clunky...:( Wish there was a life-skilling thing and you can trade with other people. I'd be supplying everybody 😂

[@Abdool777]

is there a point to playing at "low rank" or is this like monster hunter where im practically wasting time by not rushing to high rank? I've heard the ps5 performance takes a nosedive in later chapters so im still in chapter 2,taking my time farming stuff,collecting the balls but it'd be good to know if it actually matters in the long run or all the mats ive collected are useless

[@FightinCowboy]

Honestly just take your time and have fun, you'll need those lower rank mats anyway.

[@ineedmoneysp]

My forest area I have set up pretty well. I don’t have as many tent as I would like cause I don’t have my pits upgraded enough right now but I’m happy where it’s at. My isle is a mess though. I go through and unlock all the pits first then start making towers and putting tents where I think would be good but I’m not as good putting up those vines that carry you around like you have all over the place.

[@FightinCowboy]

That's basically the same approach I take

[@ineedmoneysp]

@@FightinCowboy awesome. I’ve been watching some of ur videos and was thinking and copying where you have ur vine things at. I do understand what you were saying about doing co-op and going to other peoples worlds. I’ve joined a few sessions to complete quest and majority of the worlds I went to the person only had 1 tent up and if they weren’t fighting the monster already, the. They only had 1 tower and we had to go around trying to find the monster to fight. That only happened to me a couple times though. Most of the time the person is already fighting the monsters or has at least 2-3 towers up and the monster can be seen.

What option lets you turn on the fusion prompts in the top right? I don't seem to have that and would very much like it on.

[@Gamin_Guy]

Hey @fightincowby do you need to pick up the mats in the chapter 3 regions to make it so the huts will give you that ore or will it do it for the region depending on the chapter you are on

[@FightinCowboy]

Region specific ore will come once you're into mighty hunts in those regions.

Transmog is the true end game

[@Yordyc16]

Genuine question here. Where did you get the info about hunter’s arm giving you better talismans?

[@FightinCowboy]

It's mentioned all the way back in the tutorial in a tooltip but everyone overlooks it. Also it was explicitly mentioned in the reviewers guide. Learn to Use Hunter’s Arm You can get a super-charged burst to your Celestial Thread capacity by climbing Kemono and using your Hunter’s Arm ability on their glowing blue spots. This is the best way to improve the drop chance of powerful Talismans, which you can equip up to 5 that provide passive perks.

does anyone have detailed info about the savage perk? how much does it increase my attack at +1 for example? and would +2 just be doubled +1 increased damage? or more? or less?

[@TheJ1zzINurEyE]

Well take into consideration that ironclad defense +1 literally gives you plus 1 to your defense so if you had lets say 50 now you have 51 i would say the same work for the savage skill as well then again i could be completely wrong as of now tho the info in skills is extremely limited so just use the skill or don’t its not going to make a difference when on a hunt cause your karakuri and base weapons dmg is where all ya dps is at skill just add on to it

[@jenova2916]

@@TheJ1zzINurEyE how do you know that ironclad gives you +1 defense? it's not shown in the stat screen is it? same goes for savage. I would still like to know. If you argue like that every perk is useless

[@jenova2916]

okay so actually the stat screen of your character (edit: NOT the forging/equipment/upgrade screen of your Weapons/Armors) shows the stat differences for anyone who bothers. Its +5 attack per savage +1 on the stat screen. For bows it seems to be less effective since they have a low base damage. The actual damage increase at least from what i can tell is +1 damage per +2 savage on horizontal attacks. haven't tested it with other weapon types yet

Haven't watched your streams on it but I hope when you do the clawblade weapon guide you know of the "hidden" attack that the game doesn't tell you. I love this game but man I hate how some attacks aren't in the tutorials for the weps at all and thats the best one on the damn wep lmao

[@FightinCowboy]

Hidden? Do you just mean the burst finisher that comes from using Y?

[@N_Human]

@@FightinCowboy nah so using X gives you the vertical spin when you're attached MOST people don't know that using left or right input + X will use a horizontal spin attack that is usually the safest AND highest damage move with clawblade. Also the more you glow the longer it lasts and obviously more damage it does. It's sick and the game doesn't ever tell you that. Most of my hunts are 2min because of it.

[@FightinCowboy]

I've always used X to drop and then Y to dash on in.

[@N_Human]

@@FightinCowboy X has TWO different attacks is what I'm saying. Normally and the way you showed in your tutorial was just the vertical slash. Use a left or right input + X and watch the dredel spin of death. Especially when you get the glow going you can spin forever.
