Embark on a captivating side quest in the vibrant world of *Monster Hunter Wilds* to unlock the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough to help you achieve this unique reward.
While fishing might seem like a minor diversion, it opens up a rewarding questline. Completing this line provides the necessary equipment for your trophy hunt. Begin by progressing through Kanya's fishing quests. This involves completing several sub-quests, each requiring you to gather specific items for her:
Seeking the Goldenfish: Locate the Goldenfish in cave pools. Area 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a good starting point. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. Fallow weather conditions offer the highest spawning chance.
Fishing for Favor: Next, catch the Gravid Bowfin in the Scarlet Forest base camp during "Plenty" weather. Use the Emerald Jitterbait.
The Catch of a Lifetime!: Catch any large fish triggering the reeling minigame. The Tuna in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a reliable choice.
After completing these quests, Kanya will assign the "Razzle Dazzle" quest, leading to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy/achievement. Here's how:
Go to Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Ensure "Downpour" weather in "Inclemency" (use the grill or camp to adjust). Wade into the lake's deep end until you can't go further. Squids should appear; if not, fast travel and return. Equip the Tentacle Jig and fish. While the quest requires the Grand Escunite, the trophy is earned by catching the Goliath Squid (look for glowing blue shells). Reel in the squid once the minigame begins. Once ashore, the trophy/achievement is yours!
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
