Map of the Desert Area

The Desert Region features the most extreme and varying weather conditions in Monster Hunter 2. Like its predecessor, it incorporates both sandy and rocky areas.

Geography

Before embarking, pay attention to whether you will arrive at night or day!

The extreme weather conditions will severely handicap the unprepared hunter. The desert is extremely hot during the day and cold at night.

Base Camp

As well as the Supply Box, the Delivery Box and the Rest Bed, there is a Well.

When you climb into the well it drops you directly down into Area 6.

Area 1

Small pond to one end, surrounded by sand.

During the day it is very hot, bring Cool Drinks. During the night it is very cold, bring Hot Drinks.

Melynx, Felynes, Cephalos, Apceros and Hermitaurs favour this area and are most at home here.

Many bugs and some fish can be caught here. Berries and plants also grow here.
