PSA for anyone who needs to know: the Arachnophobia mode in Monster Hunter Wilds does not work.
It *does* change small spiders into little blob monsters, but there is a large monster called a Lala Barina which is literally a giant spider, and it is not affected by the arachnophobia mode.

Honestly I don’t see the point of that setting if you willfully have two giant spidery monsters you’re forced to encounter anyway
Please share this with friends.
That feels like a more reasonable interpretation of that text than what turns out to be the truth, to me.
An arachnophobic person I know once told me that GIANT spiders didn't trigger it, because they wound up too big to read as 'spider' in their brain. So maybe they took that approach.
Unfortunately for me and at least some others I know, the bigger the spider the worse the trigger - I have no idea what's common among people with arachnophobia around the world, I think it's a little bit different for each person
It just absolutely sucks that they put in an arachnophobia mode that doesn't work, if that's the case.
Just want to spare other people the surprise 😤
