Notes

• The apex monsters of the Wildspire Waste are Diablos and Glavenus.
• The Wildspire Waste's water is sourced from the Ancient Forest.
• The Wildspire Waste is filled with large ant mounds, hence its name in Japanese.
• Unlike the past deserts, this area has mudflat wetlands.
• Despite being at the top of the food chain, Diablos and its female counterpart Black Diablos, are actually herbivores.
• A gate leading back to Astera can be found near the southeast camp.
• Nergigante can only be fought in the Wildspire Wastes in the demo, and does not appear normally. However, you can find Nergigante tracks in the story.

• The Rathian nest area contains several patches of a tar-like substance that burst into flames when struck by a monster's fire attacks.
  • This substance is a result of the nutrients from the decaying matter that makes up the Rathian's nest seeping out and accumulating as a flammable oil.

• The Fissure Environmental Trap in area 8 of the Waste requires the presence of a non-aggravated Diablos/Black Diablos within area 13 or 14 to work. It is so far the only Environmental Trap that requires the participation of specific monsters.
• As of the 4th free title update of Monster Hunter: World, Cactuars have become a permanent gameplay element of the locale, being accessible even outside of FFXIV collaboration quests. They can be chased and captured, or attacked to trigger their "Thousand Needles" AoE attack.
  • These Cactuars deal 100 damage per roughly 3 seconds throughout all Ranks. This makes them extremely deadly against Low Rank monsters, but less effective against Master Rank monsters
