Monster Hunter Rise has arrived, offering gamers a legitimate MH game that they can play on the go via Nintendo Switch. Very exciting stuff! Whether you’re playing on the docking station at home or on the go, there may be times when you want to increase or decrease the difficulty. Here we explain how the difficulty works in Monster Hunter Rise and if you can change it.
How to change the difficulty in Monster Hunter Rise
Let’s start by being very clear about something: there is no direct way to change the difficulty in Monster Hunter Rise. By this we mean that you cannot go to options and select easy, normal, or hard.
Having said that, you can indirectly change things up in a number of ways in Monster Hunter Rise to pose more challenges or make your job easier.
Higher rank hunts are by nature more difficult than lower rank hunts, so setting your search to something lower in rank will make it easier for you.
Also, the difficulty changes depending on the number of players playing the game, as the monster’s health will depend on the number of people who hunt it.
If you have four dressed hunters working together, you will probably have an advantage when working as a team. However, if there is a deadlift, adding more people will make the fights more difficult.
That’s all you need to know to change the difficulty in Monster Hunter Rise . While you can’t exactly change it, at least you now have an idea of what affects the game’s difficulty.
