You can prepare meals at a base camp or use the Portable BBQ Grill to cook in the field. Meal ingredients affect temporary stat boosts and passive skills; grilling meat is a related in-game activity, but the available sources do not verify its exact controls or timing.

Where to prepare a meal

Monster Hunter Wilds lets you prepare meals at a base camp or in the field with the Portable BBQ Grill. PlayStation’s Starter’s Guide describes the portable grill as a way to cook “anywhere in the field.” These are two locations for cooking; the available information does not establish that one produces better meal effects.

At a base camp

Use the camp’s meal-preparation option when you are there. This is the stationary alternative to cooking while out on a hunt.

In the field

Use the in-game Portable BBQ Grill to prepare a meal without returning to camp. The grill is an item in Monster Hunter Wilds, not a recommendation for real-world equipment.

Monster Hunter Wilds Steelbook
  • Wild New Adventure – Monster Hunter Wilds follows the story of a special Research Commission investigating the Forbidden Lands. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the hunter is joined in their journey by a colorful cast of characters, including a Palico partner, Guild-appointed Handler Alma, trusty smithy Gemma, and the mysterious child Nata. Together, the team ventures into an unexplored new frontier where surprises await around every corner.
  • A Living World – The Forbidden Lands spans multiple biomes with dynamic identities, such as the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest, where the ecosystems shift between vibrant seasons brimming with life, and unforgiving climates where monsters fight over limited resources. Changes in the landscape will impact the creatures that live there and push hunters to adapt as well.
  • New Monsters and Wildlife – Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of new creatures, ranging from herds of small species to large monsters – some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every creature hunters encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors.
  • Players can also now ride atop the Seikret, an agile new mount enabling hunters to traverse difficult terrain, perform actions like sharpening weapons on the move, and switch between two weapons while out on hunts!
  • Evolved Hunting Action – The series’ acclaimed action-packed gameplay is back and more exciting than ever! Hunters can look forward to tracking down monsters with an array of new moves, special abilities, equipment, and more. The action also now flows seamlessly from cutscenes to gameplay, resulting in a new level of immersion.

Choose a recommended or custom meal

Prima Games’ meal guide describes a Recommended Meal option and a Custom Meal option. Recommended Meal is the simpler choice; Custom Meal lets you select ingredients yourself.

Ingredient choice matters: meals can grant temporary stat boosts and passive skills, and ingredients affect those results. The sources do not provide a complete, current ingredient-by-ingredient effects list, so check the choices and displayed effects in the game rather than relying on an unverified recipe.

How grilling meat fits in

Grilling meat is distinct from choosing ingredients for a meal. The Portable BBQ Grill is the field cooking tool, but the sources available here do not establish the current button prompts, sequence, timing window, meat-specific result, or progression requirements for grilling. Follow the prompt shown by your game, and consult the official online manual for platform-specific guidance. Do not assume meal-preparation instructions also describe the meat-grilling sequence.
