Like so many of today’s games,Wild Heartsfeatures a fully customizable protagonist. This means that if the player wants their Kemono hunter to have pink dreadlocks and a fully tattooed face, it won’t be a problem. Regardless of whether it fits with the overall aesthetic of the world,Wild Heartswill let players customize to their heart’s content.
With many games, the only problem with having a beautiful and unique character is that their one-of-a-kind monster killer gets completely covered up by a massive helmet or some other protective gear.Wild Heartssolves this issueby allowing players to hide their headgear without removing their benefits to the character.
How to Hide Your Helmet in Wild Hearts
Character Customization
When players first create their characters, after meeting the mysterious musician that sets the hunter on their path to Minato, they will have the ability to select “Hide Headgear” and “Hide Collar.” There’s no need to worry if this was missed during initial character creation though, as it is not the only method to hide the hunter’s headgear.
The 01.00.01 update brought with it the inclusion of the newLooking Glass Dragon Karakuri,which allows players to revisit the character customization screen anywhere in Minato. Unlocking this Karakuri does require moderate progression to have been made inWild Hearts’main story, as there is a considerable number of Karakuri that must be unlocked first.
Change Equipment at Forge:
Once payers complete the tutorial section, they will come acrossWild Hearts' first monster hunt. The hunter must rescue Natsume from the Ragetail, which will result in theforgebeing unlocked inWild Hearts' Dragon Karakuri menu.
Once available, players need only open the Karakuri menu by holding L1 and pressing up on the d-pad. They should then place the forge anywhere in the cave campsite to allow for convenient access. After it’s been crafted, they’ll be able to approach the forge to access its menu. The “change equipment” option is the third choice in the menu, which leads toWild Hearts’equipment customization menu. Unlike the original character creation method, hiding the character’s headgear in this menu is as simple as pressing L3.
Some headgear, like theFresh Fern Headgearthat Natsume forges, have more than a simple “on/off” option when using the L3 prompt. This piece of equipment has a setting that simply removes the hood, but keeps other elements present. While not all headgear has this unique option, it is worth keeping in mind whenever trying out new helmets for the first time.
At the moment,Wild Heartshas this special optiononly for headgear, though that may change in future updates.
Wild Heartsis available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
