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

While fishing may not directly contribute to your main storyline progression, it offers a delightful diversion and a unique questline. Engaging in this activity will equip you with the necessary tools to pursue the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.

To start your journey, you must advance through Kanya's fishing questline. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Seeking the Goldenfish

Begin by catching the Goldenfish, which can be found in water pools within caves. Head to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, and use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases your chances of encountering this elusive fish.

Fishing for Favor

Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin. This can be done at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line into the water to secure this fish.

The Catch of a Lifetime!

Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper, which can be any large fish requiring the reeling minigame. The Tuna is a popular choice for this quest. 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 task you with the Razzle Dazzle quest, where you can unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

Unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement

Head to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. You can use the grill to wait or rest at your camp to change the conditions. Once ready, proceed to the lake and venture into the deep end until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and back to trigger their 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. Keep an eye out for glowing blue shells. If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right path. Engage in the battle, reeling in the squid when it tires. Once it's close to the shore, pull it out to claim your prize and unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
