The Old Swamp first appeared in Monster Hunter. It is a large swamp with numerous caves and a very wet landscape. Dense fog can make visibility low in some areas. In other areas, the ground is too mushy to lay down pitfall traps.

The numerous caves, while freezing, hold large clusters of beautiful crystals. In the North-Western areas, the rolling thunder of a distant storm can be heard. The Old Swamp is teeming with insect nodes, as well as numerous plant and mushroom gathering spots. In most areas of this environment a blue tinge is visible in the sky and fog.

Notes[]

  • If a hunter sneaks up on a Gypceros in zone 10, it can occasionally be observed drinking water from one of the larger puddles.
  • Sometimes hunters will find large Bullfango in the cave areas. These giant boars have more health and deal slightly more damage than their smaller counterparts. However, they are not considered Bulldromes.
  • It is possible to hide behind trees and in bushes in areas 1, 2 and 3 to avoid monsters from spotting you.
