In this guide, we show you when monsters will respawn, despawn, and reset in Monster Hunter Now. Get ready to go on a hunt with this info.
A crucial part of Monster Hunter Now is searching for monsters. Now, if you are an avid player who grinds through the game often and vanquishes these beasts fast, then you will be happy to hear that monsters are capable of spawning throughout the explorable map.
The developers have made it clear that monsters, both small and large ones, are capable of respawning and despawning in the game. However, knowing the exact times when these things occur is critical if you want to maximize how efficiently your hunts go.
So to help you out, here is a look at when monsters spawn in Monster Hunter Now
When Do Large Monsters Spawn In Monster Hunter Now
In Monster Hunter Now, large monsters spawn at the start of three-hour intervals regularly held throughout the day. Specifically, large monsters respawn and despawn at 12 AM, 3 AM, 6 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, 6 PM, and 9 PM UTC.

If you are looking to maximize the most out of your exploration without spending too much time in your game, you can always hunt monsters around your area 10 or 20 minutes before this respawn time. This will prove to be the most efficient way to hunt monsters in the least amount of time.
Needless to say, large monsters offer more rewards when you slay them. So, these should be your prime target if you are looking for good loot. But be warned, large monsters will be harder to take down compared to small monsters.
When Do Small Monsters Spawn In Monster Hunter Now
On the other hand, small monsters usually spawn faster and do not follow the spawn intervals like large monsters. Instead, three to five monsters will spawn around you on the map after you walk some distance away from your current position.
If you do not leave your current area, you might have to wait some time for monsters to respawn around you as the developers want to encourage players to explore more rather than be stationary. That said, the stationary respawn time is quite long and can take longer than 10 minutes.
Closing Monster Hunter Now and relaunching it within a short space of time will not instantly respawn any monsters around you.
