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 unique questline. This questline is crucial for equipping you with the right gear to pursue the coveted trophy and achievement.

To start, you must progress through Kanya's fishing questline by completing the following side quests:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the pools of water in caves to catch the Goldenfish. The Scarlet Forest in Area 6 is a prime spot. Use the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits for the best chance of success, particularly during the Fallow weather state.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp. This requires the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this fish.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya's final task is to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. Tuna, found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, is a common target. Patience is key as you reel in your big catch.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how to proceed:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. You need the Downpour weather condition in Inclemency. Use the grill to wait or rest at your camp to change the weather.
• Once the conditions are right, go 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 see if they spawn.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. While the quest requires catching the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Keep an eye out for squids with glowing blue shells.
• When you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle the creature patiently, reeling it in when it tires. Once close enough to shore, you'll secure the squid, unlocking the trophy or achievement.

With these steps, you'll be well on your way to claiming the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, visit The Escapist.
