In the vast and intriguing world of Monster Hunter Wilds, players can engage in numerous rewarding activities, one of which leads to the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to unlock this prestigious accolade.
How To Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
While fishing might seem like a mere diversion from the main storyline, it plays a crucial role in achieving this trophy. By following Kanya's fishing questline, you'll acquire the necessary equipment to attempt this challenge.
Start by completing Kanya's side quests, which involve gathering specific items:
Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves in the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, where you can find pools of water. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits to catch the Goldenfish. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish appearing.
Fishing for Favor: Next, aim to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this fish.
The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya's final task requires catching a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a good target. Exercise patience while reeling in your big catch.
After completing these tasks, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your pathway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:
Navigate to Area 17 in the Scarlet Forest during the Downpour weather condition within the Inclemency state. You can wait by the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather.
Approach the deep end of the lake until you can't go further. 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 start fishing. While the quest requires catching the Grand Escunite, your goal for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Target the squids with glowing blue shells.
Engage in the reeling minigame when you hook a squid. Fight and reel it in as it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, pull it out to claim your prize and unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
