"Mastering Monster Capture in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Slaying monsters is thrilling, but sometimes you need to capture them to collect all their valuable parts. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to capture monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward yet requires precision. The key is to weaken the monster until it's vulnerable, then use a trap followed by a Tranq item to secure your catch. It's easier than it sounds!

Your Palico will alert you when a monster is weak. Look for additional signs like a skull icon over the monster on your minimap, or observe if the monster starts limping or drooling, indicating low HP.

Once the monster is weakened, it's time to set your trap. Choose between a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap and place it strategically on the ground. Lure the monster into the trap, and once it's caught, it will be immobilized for a brief period. This is your cue to use Tranq Bombs—one or two should suffice. Alternatively, you can use Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, depending on your weapon and preferred playstyle.

Successfully capturing a monster will conclude your quest and return you to Base Camp.

How to Get Traps and Tranq Items

While your Palico may occasionally set traps, it's wise to bring your own. There are two types of traps: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. Craft a Pitfall Trap using a Trap Tool and a Net (either Spiderwebs or Ivy). For a Shock Trap, combine a Trap Tool with a Thunderbug Capacitor.

For Tranq items, craft Tranq Bombs using a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These can be further combined with Throwing Knives or Normal Ammo to create Tranq Blades and Tranq Ammo, respectively.
