In the vibrant world of Monster Hunter Wilds, engaging in various activities offers diverse rewards. This guide focuses on obtaining the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy/achievement. While not crucial to the main storyline, fishing provides a rewarding side questline, ultimately equipping you for this challenge.
Begin by progressing through Kanya's fishing quests. This involves completing several side quests by gathering specific items:
Seeking the Goldenfish: Catch a Goldenfish, found in cave pools. Area 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a good spot; use Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow bait. Fallow weather conditions increase spawning chances.
Fishing for Favor: Next, catch a Gravid Bowfin in the Scarlet Forest base camp during "Plenty" weather. Use the Emerald Jitterbait.
The Catch of a Lifetime!: Catch any large fish requiring the reeling minigame (a Tuna in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is recommended).
After completing these quests, Kanya will request you to undertake the "Razzle Dazzle" quest, leading to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy/achievement.
In Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, during Downpour (Inclemency) weather (use the grill or camp to adjust weather), wade into the deep lake until you can go no further. Look for squids. If none appear, fast travel and return. Equip the Tentacle Jig and fish for squids with glowing blue shells. Successfully reeling in a Goliath Squid will unlock the trophy/achievement.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
