Monster Hunter Wilds Player Discovers Comical Method to Evade Attacks

A clever player of Monster Hunter Wilds has discovered a nifty trick using the Photo Pose: Vanish Sign emote to evade attacks by the mysterious monster, Mizutsune. In Capcom’s latest hit action RPG, which holds the title of best-selling game of 2025, this move is an unexpected yet delightful addition to the gameplay.

Capcom recently kicked off the Festival of Accord: Blossomdance event, embracing a spring theme until May 7. This celebration transforms the Grand Hub with vibrant decorations and tempting new meals. It’s not just about aesthetics, though; players can snag sakura blossom-inspired gear, pop-up camp decorations, and other exclusive rewards. And as if that’s not enough, from April 29 to May 20, adventurous players can challenge the formidable Arch-tempered Rey Dau in a thrilling event quest.

In a captivating tweet, user sayurin_kk uploaded a video showcasing the emote’s surprising utility. Normally, the Photo Pose: Vanish Sign, available in the Photo Pose Set Vol. 1 for $3.99, allows players to temporarily hover, offering the perfect opportunity for a dramatic screenshot. However, sayurin_kk used it not just for style, but as a tactical maneuver, perfectly timing the emote to dodge one of Mizutsune’s sweeping attacks with pinpoint precision.

While it’s unclear if the Vanish Sign emote can provide the same advantage against other monsters, the video only covers its use against Mizutsune in particular. This slippery foe, introduced in the game’s first major update, brings a host of challenges to the table, yet players like sayurin_kk are always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

The creativity doesn’t stop with emotes. Fans have crafted unique experiences within Monster Hunter Wilds, like bringing culturally iconic characters, such as Handsome Squidward, into the game. Whether it’s through creative emote usage, mixing armor sets, or experimenting with the character creator, each player finds their own way to shine. With abundant content and more rolling out continuously, there’s a growing excitement among players about the future adventures within Monster Hunter Wilds.
