While playing Wild Hearts, your only task will be to hunt down giant monsters known as Kemono. And today we’re talking about how to find all Kemono in Wild Hearts.
Why is it so important to hunt them down? Aside from story progression, you will also use the drops to upgrade your arsenal.
However, not all Kemono can be found as you start the game. As you progress through the story you will encounter more of them.
These Kemono tend to roam the areas, but they are known to appear in specific locations. The ideal way to find them is to use Hunting Towers and let those ping the locations for you.
As you play through the game you will find the normal form, but in later chapters, you will unlock an extra form called “Mighty Kemono”. The Mighty Forms have the same moves and attacks but are larger.
In this guide, I will go over the chapters and the biomes that these Kemono are known to appear.
