Tundra



The Tundra is an icy land, harsh on life. A glacier floats by certain areas, whilst Popos forage in the snow. This area is known for both its lightly forested areas and terrifyingly dark caves. Unlike the Snowy Mountains, the Tundra contains no high-altitude areas, and like the other general areas in the game, has been given a more creative and elaborate name. Hot Drinks or the armor skill Cold Cancel (High) are needed to stop your stamina level from depleting faster than usual. Hunting in the tundra when it is night if warming effect is not active decreases stamina quicker. All areas actually need the Cold Cancel (Low) armor skill to stop the stamina depleting effects, as shown by the dull blue and grey colors of the areas on the map. However, Areas 2 and 6 interchangeably require the Cold Cancel (High) armor skill, due to blizzard-like conditions present in those areas, depending on night and day respectively. This is shown by the bright blue coloring of these areas on the map depending on whether the hunt takes place during the day or during the night.



Gigginox, Gigginox Subspecies, Great Baggi, Baggi, Barioth, Barroth Subspecies, Urukususu, Agnaktor Subspecies, Jinouga Subspecies and Popo are all exclusive to this area. The fierce Tigrex can be seen here feasting on Popo.

 * The path from Area 3 to Area 5 is no longer one-way.
 * Mining is done from cracks in the wall as in MHFU, instead of random spawning crystals.
