Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a thrill, but capturing them is essential for collecting all their valuable parts. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to capture monsters effectively in the game.
Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds
The process of capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward yet crucial. To successfully capture a monster, you need to weaken it first, set a trap, and then use a Tranq item to secure it. It sounds simple, but there are key steps to follow for success.
When a monster is nearing defeat, your Palico will alert you. Additional indicators include a skull icon appearing over the monster's icon on your minimap, and physical signs like limping or drooling, which suggest the monster's health is low.
Once the monster is sufficiently weakened, it's time to deploy 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 short period. This is your chance to use Tranq Bombs—one or two should suffice to capture the monster. 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 transport you back 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 available: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. To craft a Pitfall Trap, you'll need a Trap Tool and either Spiderwebs or Ivy. For a Shock Trap, combine a Trap Tool with a Thunderbug Capacitor.
For Tranq items, you can create a Tranq Bomb using a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These Tranq Bombs can be further combined with Throwing Knives to make Tranq Blades or with Normal Ammo to produce Tranq Ammo.
