Are you ready to take on the mighty Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? This formidable foe, resembling a giant chicken inspired by the Cockatrice, can be a daunting challenge, but with the right strategies, you can conquer it and even capture it for your collection.
How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
**Weaknesses:** Water
**Resistances:** N/A
**Immunities:** Sonic Bomb
The Quematrice, while mid-sized, is susceptible to a variety of weapons due to its size. However, its area-of-effect attacks might make ranged weapons more appealing for less confident hunters. Understanding its weaknesses can give you the upper hand in battle.
**Notable Attacks:**
- **Tail Strikes and Sweeps:** These can deal moderate damage, but the tail slam is particularly dangerous if you're positioned behind the monster. It lifts its tail high before slamming it down. Sidestepping or blocking can help you avoid this attack.
- **Fire Attacks:** These are the most hazardous, as they not only cause immediate damage but can also set you on fire, leading to continuous health loss. The Quematrice might unleash a fire breath attack after rearing its head and roaring, flinging flames from its tail. Another attack involves a full sweep of fire after a similar roar and posture change, affecting a wide area around it. Additionally, it may charge at you and then turn to spew fire. If you're using ranged weapons, start moving backward as it initiates these moves to dodge the flames.
How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Quematrice requires preparation and the right equipment. You'll need a Shock Trap and a Pitfall Trap, along with at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap is technically sufficient, having a backup is advisable, especially in case the Quematrice escapes or another monster interferes with your trap.
Once the Quematrice is sufficiently weakened—indicated by limping or a skull icon on the mini-map—follow these steps to capture it:
1. **Wait for the Right Moment:** Ideally, wait until the Quematrice retreats to a new area after limping away. This simplifies the capture process.
2. **Set the Trap:** Place your chosen trap in a strategic location.
3. **Lure and Trap:** Lure the Quematrice into the trap.
4. **Use Tranq Bombs:** Once the monster is trapped, throw two Tranq Bombs to subdue it, completing the capture.
With these tips and strategies, you're well-equipped to face the Quematrice, defeat it, and add it to your collection in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Good luck, hunter!
