There is no fall damage for your Hunter in Monster Hunter Wilds, but monsters take fall damage if they are crashing down from a substantial height.This statement might feel complex, and this article will explain all the intricacies behind it.

Is There Fall Damage in Monster Hunter Wilds?

As mentioned before, there is no fall damage for the Hunter in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can jump from a massive cliff (like the one in theJin Dahaad fightarena) and take no damage. I have often jumped myself instead of having mySeikretjump and glide during the game, and each time I landed safely. Not a speck of the health bar goes away, and you do not get any other special debuffs as well.

On the other hand, monsters take fall damage, although there are certain conditions. A monster must fall from a significant height to actually take fall damage. The most common example of this is once again the Jin Dahaad fight, where the monster falls with the Ice Pillars, taking damage. On the other hand, aerial monsters likeRathalosor Rey Dau do not generally take fall damage. These monsters mostly hover above the ground instead of actually flying. As such, they do not take any damage when you use a Flash Pod to bring them down.

That said, if you may time your Flash Pod in a way that the monster has attained maximum flight height, then it will come crashing down and take a lot of damage. Note that this is inconsistent, since monsters tend to mostly relocate once they have attained maximum flight height.
