In the vibrant world of Monster Hunter Wilds, rewarding interactions abound, and for those aiming for the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement, this guide provides the perfect starting point. While fishing might seem secondary, it unlocks a unique questline crucial to obtaining this reward.
This journey begins with Kanya's fishing quests. Complete these side quests by gathering the items she requests:
- Seeking the Goldenfish: Locate the Goldenfish in cave pools. Area 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a good spot. Use Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow bait. Fallow weather conditions increase spawning chances.
- 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 requiring the reeling minigame (a Tuna in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a good option).
After completing these, Kanya will task you with the Razzle Dazzle quest, leading to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy/achievement.
Go to Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Ensure "Downpour" weather (use the grill or camp to adjust). Wade into the deep water until you can go no further. Squids should appear; if not, fast travel and return. Equip the Tentacle Jig and fish. Target the Goliath Squid (indicated by glowing blue shells). Reel in the squid to win the trophy/achievement.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
