In the vast and vibrant world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players can discover a multitude of engaging activities that offer unique rewards and challenges. For those aiming to unlock the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement, this guide serves as your essential roadmap to success.
How To Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
While fishing might not be central to your main storyline in the game, it provides a delightful diversion and its own dedicated questline. Engaging in this activity will equip you with the necessary tools to pursue this prestigious trophy and achievement.
To start, you'll need to progress through Kanya's fishing questline, which involves completing several side quests. Here's a breakdown of the quests you need to tackle:
- Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves within the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, to catch the Goldenfish. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases your chances of encountering this elusive fish.
- Fishing for Favor: Next up is the Gravid Bowfin, which you can catch at the Scarlet Forest base camp under the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.
- The Catch of a Lifetime!: For this quest, you need to reel in a Whopper. A common target is the Tuna, found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Engage in the reeling minigame to land this hefty fish.
After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Follow these steps to achieve your goal:
- Navigate to Area 17 in the Scarlet Forest. Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. You can manipulate the weather by using the grill or resting at your camp.
- Proceed to the lake and wade into the deep end until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, try fast traveling to another location and returning to trigger their spawn.
- Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya to fish. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your true target for the trophy or achievement is the Goliath Squid. Look for squids with glowing blue shells.
- When you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right path. Persist in the struggle until the squid tires, then reel it in close to the shore. Once you've landed it, the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement will be yours.
