This long run, undertaken by what must be a weary Seikret, highlights the impressive connectivity of the game's zones. While *Monster Hunter Wilds* does include other loading screens for entering the training grounds, fast traveling, or joining a friend's quest, the minimal interruptions during this long trek are noteworthy.
