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

While fishing might not be central to your main progression in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it provides a delightful diversion and its own dedicated questline. This questline is crucial for acquiring the necessary equipment to pursue the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.

To begin, you must progress through Kanya’s fishing questline, which involves completing several side quests. Here's what you need to do:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves in the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, to catch the Goldenfish. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish spawning.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then ask you to catch a Whopper, which can be any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a good target. Patience is key as you reel in these big catches.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather conditions.
• Once the conditions are right, proceed to the lake and wade into the deep end until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none are present, 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 target for the trophy or achievement is the Goliath Squid. Look for 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 and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, pull it out to claim your prize and unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
