Slaying monsters is thrilling, but sometimes you need their parts, which means capturing them. Here's how to capture monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds is straightforward. Weaken the monster, trap it, then use a tranquilizer to secure the catch.
Your Palico will alert you when a monster is weak. Other indicators include a skull icon above the monster on your minimap, and the monster exhibiting signs of weakness like limping or drooling.
Once weak, deploy a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap. Lure the monster onto the trap. Once trapped, quickly throw one or two Tranq Bombs. Alternatively, craft Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, depending on your weapon and play style.
Successfully capturing a monster ends the quest and returns you to Base Camp.
Obtaining Traps and Tranquilizer Items
While your Palico might occasionally set traps, it's best to bring your own. There are two trap types: Pitfall Traps (Trap Tool + Net – Spiderwebs or Ivy) and Shock Traps (Trap Tool + Thunderbug Capacitor).
To craft Tranq Bombs, combine a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These bombs can be combined with Throwing Knives (for Tranq Blades) or Normal Ammo (for Tranq Ammo).
