How To Unlock Every Palico Support Move In Monster Hunter Wilds

One fun way to enhance cats is by having them join you in battles! That’s exactly what “Monster Hunter” allows you to experience. And let me tell you, these Palicos are truly fearless. They make their return in “Monster Hunter Wilds“, remaining as helpful as ever. Besides being a faithful companion, they possess powerful abilities too.

Here’s a breakdown of your Palico’s Support Moves: Unlike previous games, you don’t need to select which moves your Palico carries; instead, focus on unlocking as many as possible. This way, you can maximize your Palico’s potential and have the strongest companion by your side. Let’s explore each move, its function, and how to unlock them all for optimal results.

What Are Palico Support Moves?

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share my excitement about the versatility of moves my Palico companion can execute in battle. It ranges from the basic, such as attacking monsters or setting up traps for me, but their true prowess shines when they bring out their Support Moves. These moves showcase their inherent abilities and the array of gadgets and tools they’ve gathered over time.

These actions involved situations such as deploying a Vigorwasp to mend you during stressful instances, or producing a device to distract a monster, allowing you to ready yourself. In all, there are twelve support moves available, although most of them have cooldown periods to prevent your Palico from becoming excessively powerful. Initially, you only possess seven of these abilities, with the remaining ones being unlocked through quests.

To view your Palico’s level and learned support skills, simply navigate to the “Palico Information” section within the game’s pause menu.

Every Palico Skill And What It Does

Each of these twelve skills can be incredibly valuable, particularly during a solo hunt. Keep in mind that you don’t have direct control over when your Palico will execute their moves, so it’s best not to count on them as if they’re guaranteed. Your Palico is generally quite adept at sensing when you require assistance, but try not to lean too heavily on them for every task.

Here are all 12 of your Palico’s Support Moves, as well as what they do once they’re upgraded:

Skill Effect Upgraded effect
Vigorwasp Delivery Your Palico uses a Vigorwasp on you when your HP is low. Vigorwasps restore more HP and can be delivered more frequently.
Purewasp Delivery Your Palico uses a Purewasp to cure any blights or ailments you have. Two Purewasps can be used at a time.
Provoke Your Palico will draw a monster’s attention away from you for a brief while. Provoke lasts longer and Palico can counterattack.
Place Paracorn Your Palico places a trap that acts as a Shock Trap. This paralyses the monster and lets you capture them. Paracorn can be used more frequently.
Let-‘Er-RRRip Your Palico fires at the monster at range, which has a chance to create a Wound. Move lasts even longer.
Sporenet: Song o’ Power Your Palico plays a song that boosts your attack power. Attack boost is more powerful.
Sporenet: Song ‘ Purrtection Your Palico plays a song that boosts your defence after a monster defeats you. Defence boost is even stronger if a monster defeats you twice in a single hunt.
Attract Vigorwasps Your Palico will summon Vigorwasps so that you can use them when you’re in need of them rather than relying on your Palico bringing them to you directly. Your Palico can now summon Giant Vigorwasps.
Flashfly Cage Your Palico will place a cage filled with Flashflies that you can use to blind any nearby monster temporarily. Flashfly Cages can be deployed more often.
Rath-from-Above Your Palico will hope into a miniature airship and fire from above. This even has a chance to knock down flying monsters. Palico will perform a final powerful attack just as Rath-from-Above is about to end.
Plunderang Your Palico will use a small boomerang that can steal materials from monsters in the middle of combat. Plunderang can acquire even more materials.
Vigorwasp Revival In the event that you are defeated, your Palico will use a Vigorwasp to revive you right where you died. This restores very little health, so make sure to heal up afterwards. More HP is restored once you are revived.

In a group hunt, if more hunters (either human or non-player characters) join, your Palico may decide to leave the chase. Therefore, be aware that you might need to rely less on your Palico’s support moves.

As a dedicated player, I’ve discovered that some extraordinary skills like Vigorwasp Revival are hidden gems unlocked through High Rank Side Quests – but fear not, essential abilities are accessible from the get-go! You’ll find yourself heavily relying on Vigorwasp Delivery since certain monsters can deal quite a blow. When you’re low on companions, expect your Palico to showcase its full arsenal of moves!

Unlocking And Upgrading Palico Skills

With our understanding of each move now clear, it’s time to work on acquiring the remaining five that you don’t possess yet. These particular moves are found in side quests, and they are located within the High Rank section of the game. Since they’re situated there, it implies that you’ve made substantial progress through the game before attempting to unlock them. Fortunately, these quests are relatively straightforward.

Skill How To Unlock
Flashfly Cage Complete Flash Course Side Quest
Plunderang Complete Purrfect Plundering Side Quest
Vigorwasp Revival Complete A Gutsy Move Side Quest
Attract Vigorwasps Complete Healing Help Side Quest
Rath-from-Above Complete Rath-from-Above, Go! Side Quest

Once you’ve mastered these moves, it’s terrific to learn that you can further enhance your Palico’s Support Abilities. Unlike the missions required for new abilities, your Palico’s abilities improve by gaining levels themselves, which is as straightforward as taking them on hunts with you.

Once you achieve High Rank, you can elevate your Palico to level 30. As you utilize their support skills during hunts, they will naturally upgrade over time, with no specific technique required. In no time at all, you’ll find that they’ve reached their maximum potential.
