Art of Battle Hunts

Monster Hunter Wilds, fought with FOR HONOR's guard.

Hold one of three stances: left, top or right. A ring by your hunter shows your guard in white and, in red, the side the nearest monster's attack will reach you from.

• Block - your stance matches the side of the attack. The hit is stopped; only a little chip damage gets through, and chip damage never kills.
• Parry - switch into the matching stance in the last third of a second. No damage at all, and the monster takes Wilds' own parry reaction.
• Wrong guard - the attack lands as usual. Attacks Wilds marks as unguardable can't be stopped.
• Projectiles and clouds count too: guard the side they come from.

The clashes are FOR HONOR's own. Every block, parry, missed guard and stance switch plays one of FOR HONOR's real weapon sounds - blades on plate, chainmail and leather, light and heavy swings - read straight from your installed copy of FOR HONOR while Wilds runs. Nothing from FOR HONOR ships with this mashup or is copied anywhere.

Good to know

• Solo. Nothing is sent to other players.
• The first launch reads FOR HONOR's sound archives once, in the background (about ten seconds).
• Needs Monster Hunter Wilds and FOR HONOR installed on the same PC (Steam, Ubisoft Connect or Epic).
