How To Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

Contrary to what the trophy's name might suggest, you're not chasing dragons or wyverns for this one. Your target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, which you can capture using the Capture Net.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be tricky as it appears across various maps. However, our most successful strategy has been heading to the Scarlet Forest. Start at the base camp and navigate to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, located between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach this spot, focus on the nearby puddle of water, a prime spawning location for the Curioshell Crab. If it's not immediately visible, Alma can assist you. She'll comment if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

Prepare your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then shoot to capture the crab. A successful capture will reward you with not only the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Keep in mind that the Curioshell Crab moves quickly, so anticipate its path and fire ahead of it to ensure a successful capture. Other reliable spots to find this creature include Area 13 of the Windward Plains and Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. While it may appear elsewhere, these are the locations we've verified.

That's all the information you need to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and tricks, be sure to check out The Escapist.
