In the vast world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there are numerous engaging activities and interactions that offer various rewards. For those aiming to unlock the prestigious Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement, this guide will provide a comprehensive walkthrough to help you succeed.
How to Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
While fishing might not be central to the main storyline of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it serves as a delightful diversion and comes with its own unique questline. Engaging in this activity will eventually equip you with the necessary tools to pursue the coveted trophy and achievement.
To begin your journey, you'll need to progress through Kanya's fishing questline. This involves completing a series of side quests that require you to gather specific items for her. Here's a detailed breakdown:
- Seeking the Goldenfish: The first quest requires you to catch the Goldenfish, found in cave water pools. Head to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, and use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish spawning.
- Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin. This can be done at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Use the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this fish.
- The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya then tasks you with catching a Whopper, which can be any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. A common choice is the Tuna, found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Patience is key as you hook and reel in one of these large catches.
After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is crucial for unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Follow these steps to achieve your goal:
- Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather condition is Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait by the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions.
- Head to the lake and walk into the deep end until you reach the furthest point. Look for squids swimming around. If none are present, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
- Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and begin fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Look for glowing blue shells.
- If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame starts, you're on the right track. Keep fighting the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once close enough to the shore, you'll successfully pull it out, unlocking the trophy or achievement.
