In the vibrant world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players can engage in a variety of fascinating interactions, including a unique fishing questline that leads to the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. This guide will walk you through the steps to unlock this exciting reward.
How to Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
Fishing in *Monster Hunter Wilds* might not be central to your main storyline, but it offers a delightful diversion and a dedicated questline. Completing this will equip you with the necessary tools to pursue the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
Start by advancing through Kanya’s fishing questline, which involves completing the following side quests:
- Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to pools of water in caves, particularly in the Scarlet Forest in Area 6. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the chance of the fish spawning.
- Fishing for Favor: Catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to catch this fish.
- The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will ask you to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna, found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, is a common target for this quest. Reel it in with patience.
After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, where you can unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how to do it:
- Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather condition is Downpour in Inclemency. You can use the grill to wait or rest at your camp to change the conditions.
- Approach the lake and walk into the deep end until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and back to encourage spawning.
- Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya to start fishing. While aiming to catch the Grand Escunite, your goal 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 path. Battle the creature, reeling it in when 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.
With these steps, you'll be well on your way to unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and tricks, don't hesitate to visit The Escapist.
