Monster Hunter Stories 2 just added Palamute DLC Monsties for free

Grab the Palamute update now

Monster Hunter Stories 2, like mainline Monster Hunter games, seems to be getting a ton of free post-launch DLC. One of the first big ones just dropped this week shortly after the game arrived, and ꦜit involv🍰es those trusty Palamute DLC companions!

This time around they’re “Monsties,” though, the game’s term for creatures you can ride and follow you into combat. Stories 2 now sports five star Palamute DLC Dens, as well as eight star Palamute Homes, and Capcom threw in an extra sidequest called Throw Me a Bone (eight star) for good measure. As Capcom notes, in orde🦂r to play the DLC (and onlin꧅e), you need to have the latest version of the game.

Also note that this doesn’t automatically score you a Palamute to use immediately. You get a ticket with the update, at which point you need to go on the five star quest to explore a Palamute Den: then y𝔍ou get the egg you can hatch int꧅o your Monstie. You can climb vines with it, FYI, in case you need one of those!
