Capcom announced Eager Wudwud α headgear is the latest cosmetic in Monster Hunter Wilds, and it is available via an Event Quest called “Playing the Long Game.” It is available to earn in-game until January 27, 2026. As with other missions of this type, you need to have unlocked Wounded Hollow and progressed far enough in the campaign to take these tasks to take part.
“Playing the Long Game” isn’t too difficult of an Event Quest. It has an eight star rank. You must be at minimum HR 41 to take part. The fight involves facing both Balahara and Mizutsune. If you do, you’ll get the materials and ability get the Eager Wudwud α headgear in Monster Hunter Wilds.
This makes it look like that species of Lynian is riding on your head, getting a piggyback ride from your hunter. To craft it, you need one Mizutsune Water Orb, two Balahara Black Pearls, three Hunter Symbol IIIs, and three Wudwud Likey-Likes. There are two variants to craft, with one featuring a plain Wudwud and another with a pair of glasses, scarf, and wig on.
Here are the two screenshots Capcom shared of the cosmetic we can get in the Monster Hunter Wilds “Playing the Long Game” Event Quest:
The Wudwuds are Lynians first introduced in this installment. They look a bit like otters and have a village in the Scarlet Forest area.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
