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

While fishing might not be crucial to your main storyline in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it provides an engaging diversion and a dedicated questline. Successfully navigating this will equip you with the necessary gear to pursue the coveted trophy and achievement.

To start, you'll need to dive into Kanya's fishing questline. Here's a breakdown of the side quests you need to complete by gathering the required items:

Seeking the Goldenfish

Your first task is to catch the Goldenfish, which you can find in cave pools. Head to the Scarlet Forest in Area 6 and use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state boosts the chances of the Goldenfish spawning, so keep an eye on the weather.

Fishing for Favor

Next up is catching the Gravid Bowfin. You'll need to be in the Scarlet Forest's base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to reel in this elusive fish.

The Catch of a Lifetime!

Kanya's final challenge before the main event is to catch a Whopper. Any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame will do, but Tuna are commonly used. Navigate to the lake in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, hook a big fish, and patiently reel it in.

After completing these quests, Kanya will present you with the Razzle Dazzle quest, setting the stage for unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here’s how you proceed:

Head to Area 17 in the Scarlet Forest, ensuring the weather is either Downpour or Inclemency. You can use the grill to wait for the right conditions or rest at your camp to change them. Once the weather is set, make your way to the lake and walk 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 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 goal for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Keep an eye out for blue glowing shells. If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle with the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once you successfully bring it to shore, you'll unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.

That's all the information you need to secure the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and tricks, be sure to explore resources on The Escapist.
