Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin offers plenty of familiar aspects to Monster Hunter fans, but refreshes the usual gameplay style by offering a more traditional RPG format with turn-based battles. One of the biggest changes when it comes to the Stories spin-off series is that players aren't hunters, but riders — people who hatch monster eggs and raise monsties to accompany them in battle.

This gives a Pokemon-esque monster collection and party feature for players to indulge in, with monsters offering different battle styles, battle moves, and riding actions on the world map. But how long exactly does it take to complete? We've got everything you need to know right here.
How Long Does it Take to Finish Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin?
For players simply concentrating on the main storyline and not doing much of the optional side content, you're looking at about 36 hours to complete the game. This estimate does not include the completion of any post-game content.
Of course, if you spend some of your time completing optional quests, going out of your way to collect extra monsters, or spending some time with the multiplayer content, you can easily add another 20 hours to that total.
How Many Chapters Are There In the Game?
There aren't chapters in Wings of Ruin, however, the game is split into different areas, so you can gauge how close you are to completing it based on where you are:
- Hakolo Island
- Alcala
- Loloska
- Lamure
- Terga
- Hakolo Island (End game)
How Long Does it Take to 100% Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin?
For players looking to unlock all of the badges, aiming to collect all monsties, complete all quests, and take part in the post-game content with all the High Rank extras, Elder Dragons, and Deviants, you're looking at 125+ hours.
Capcom is periodically adding new content post-launch, introducing new monsties, quests, and co-op expeditions, so even when you have finished the main storyline, there is still plenty more to do.
