"Guide to Unlocking the Squid Hunter Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In the vast and captivating world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players can engage in a variety of rewarding interactions, one of which leads to the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. This guide will walk you through the steps to unlock this unique accolade, starting with the engaging fishing questline.

How To Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

While fishing might seem like a side activity in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it opens up a fascinating questline that ultimately leads to the equipment needed for this trophy. To begin, you must progress through Kanya's fishing quests, which involve gathering specific items for her:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves in the Scarlet Forest, Area 6, to find pools of water where the Goldenfish resides. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits, and aim for the Fallow weather state to increase your chances of catching this elusive fish.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then ask you to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Scarlet Forest's Area 17 is a popular choice. Patience is key as you hook and reel in these big fish.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how to proceed:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17, during the Downpour weather condition in Inclemency. Use the grill to wait or rest at your camp to change the weather if needed.
• Once at the lake, wade into the deep end until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If they don't appear, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid.
• Keep an eye out for squids with glowing blue shells. When you hook one and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once close enough to the shore, you'll pull it out, securing the trophy or achievement.
