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

In the vast and captivating world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players are treated to a plethora of engaging interactions, each offering unique rewards. For those aiming to unlock the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement, this comprehensive guide will steer you through the process.

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

While fishing might not be central to your main storyline progression, it presents a delightful diversion and a questline of its own. Completing this will equip you with the necessary tools to pursue the trophy and achievement.

Your journey begins with Kanya’s fishing questline. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the side quests you need to complete:

Seeking the Goldenfish

Your first task is to catch the Goldenfish, found in cave water pools. Head to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, and use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The fish is most likely to spawn during the Fallow weather state.

Fishing for Favor

Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp under the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.

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 Scarlet Forest's lake at Area 17 is a reliable choice. Hook and reel in one of these big fish with patience.

Upon completing these tasks, Kanya will assign the Razzle Dazzle quest, which leads to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

Navigate to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17, ensuring the weather is either Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait using the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions. Once set, proceed to the lake and wade into the deep end until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return to trigger their 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. Aim for the squids with glowing blue shells. If you hook one and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right path. Battle the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to shore, pull it out to secure the trophy or achievement.
