Quick Links
Fine Windward Aloe and Great Windward Aloe are Special Items inMonster Hunter Wildsthat players can exchange for two types of Kunafa Cheese, ingredients that activate the Defender Meal Food Skill when added to a dish. For the uninitiated, that Food Skill occasionally decreases the damage that the Hunter takes, and players who are struggling to survive may want to pursue it. This guide is here to assist with that endeavor, and it will help players find the Windward Aloes that can be traded for Kunafa Cheese inMonster Hunter Wilds.
It is recommended that players have at least two levels of the Geologist skill when searching for Fine and Great Windward Aloes, as that skill level causes extra Special Items to occasionally be awarded when gathering. For full clarity, players can get the Geologist skill from Chainmail Armor,Geology Charms, and beyond.

Windward Succulents
Players who are looking for Fine Windward Aloe should fast travel to theWindward Plains, the firstecosystem inMonster Hunter Wilds. Upon reaching the Plains, players should open the local map, navigate to theFilter Iconsfeature in the bottom-left corner of the screen, and access the"Gathering"category. Players should then scroll through this category until they find theWindward Succulententry, and they should select it and choose “Set Highlight.”
Players will now find that all the Windward Succulents on the map are marked with a blue dot, and they should hover over one of the marked Succulents and press the"Set Waypoint"input that is displayed at the bottom of the screen.Monster Hunter Wildsplayersshould then use theirSeikret’s Auto-move Mode, which is initiated by pressing up on a d-pad or tab on a keyboard, to automatically move towards the waypoint. Players can then interact with the Windward Succulent for a chance to receive aFine Windward Aloe.
That said, players may only receive a regular Windward Aloe the first time that they harvest a Windward Succulent, as the “Fine” variant is a bit rare. Fortunately, there should be several Succulents on the map, giving players additional chances to harvest the Aloe of interest. As before, players can move to these additional Succulents with waypoints and theSeikret’s Auto-move Mode, making it quite easy to search for this Special Item.
After harvesting a Windward Succulent, players can hover over its icon on the map to see its respawn timer. While players who want to gather from the plants a second time can simply wait for that timer to lapse, they can also force the Succulents to immediately respawn byfast travelingto another map and then fast traveling back to the Plains.
