All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds boasts twelve secret achievements. Seven are naturally unlocked through main story progression. The remaining five, detailed below, require tackling optional objectives:

  • I Caught a Shooting Star!: Capture a uniquely shimmering desert creature.
  • A Prize Held High: Capture a creature carrying an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
  • A Legacy Restored: Obtain a Rarity 8 Artian Weapon.
  • Seasoned Hunter: Hunt 50 Tempered monsters.
  • Top of the Food Chain: Hunt 50 Apex Predators.

While some achievements are straightforward, others demand specific strategies. Let's delve into each one:

I Caught a Shooting Star!

At night, venture to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains. Prepare Screamer Pods. Locate a Baunos near gathering spots, target it with the pods, and then capture it using your Capture Net.

A Prize Held High

This achievement is attainable across various maps; the key is to search tight corners and dead ends. Specifically, in Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest, near a small puddle of water, you'll find a small golden crab. Capture it using your Capture Net. Alma will often comment when you're near a creature possessing an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

A Legacy Restored

High Rank missions unlock the crafting of Artian gear. Rarity 8 weapons and materials necessitate hunting Tempered monsters while equipped with Rarity 7 gear.

Seasoned Hunter

Crucially, differentiate between Tempered (purple minimap outline) and Frenzied (red outline) monsters. Slaying or capturing Tempered monsters contributes to this achievement. Tempered monsters appear from Chapter 4 onwards, within High Rank content.

Top of the Food Chain

This achievement focuses on Apex Predators. Only the following monsters count: Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, Jin, Dahaad.

By following these steps, you'll successfully unlock all hidden achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds. For further game tips and strategies, including optimal gathering sets, consult resources like The Escapist.
