Guide to Earning the Squid Hunter Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds

In the captivating world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players can enjoy a variety of engaging activities, one of which is the pursuit of the elusive Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. This guide will walk you through the steps to unlock this unique reward, making your adventure even more rewarding.

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

While fishing might not be central to the main storyline of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it offers a delightful diversion and a questline of its own. This questline is essential for equipping you with the necessary tools to tackle the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.

Begin by progressing through Kanya's fishing questline, which involves completing the following side quests:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Catch the Goldenfish, found in cave water pools. The best spot is the Scarlet Forest in Area 6, using either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of encountering this fish.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Use the Emerald Jitterbait to successfully land this fish.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a reliable choice. Patience is key here.

After completing these tasks, Kanya will task you with the Razzle Dazzle quest, the final step to obtaining the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how to proceed:

• Head to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is Downpour in Inclemency; you can wait at the grill or rest at camp to change the conditions.
• Once in the correct weather, go to the lake and move to the deepest part until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
• Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya to start fishing. Your primary goal for the quest is to catch the Grand Escunite, but for the trophy or achievement, you're after the Goliath Squid. Target the squids with glowing blue shells.
• If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Keep fighting the creature until it tires, then reel it in towards the shore. Once you pull it out, the Goliath Squid will be yours, unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
