When it’s completely dull - a mostly-empty red gauge - your attacks will bounce off of monsters without dealing any damage. Your weapon will lose its edge as you use it. You’ll also see any current status effects as icons above your health (green) bar. When you’re not in combat and haven’t taken damage in a while, these will collapse and hide the gauge, so heal and replenish your stamina (the yellow bar) often. When you are on a timed quest, this becomes a countdown - you have until the blue hand reaches the red mark to complete your task. Normally, this is a day/night indicator - a sun means it’s daytime and a moon means it’s nighttime. Everything on your HUD There’s a lot to take in on your screen at any given moment. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you’ll see on your screen while you play. You just have to figure out what it’s saying. It’s a great tool to help you make sense of your world, your options and your ability to fight. Your HUD in Monster Hunter: World provides you with a lot of information.
