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 presents a delightful diversion and its own unique questline. Completing this will equip you with the necessary tools to pursue the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.

To begin, you'll need to progress through Kanya's fishing questline. This involves completing several side quests where you gather specific items for her. Here’s how you can do it:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the pools of water in caves, such as the Scarlet Forest in Area 6. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits to catch the Goldenfish. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish spawning.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to snag this fish.
• 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. Hook a big fish and reel it in patiently.

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 either Downpour or Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather conditions.
• Walk into the deep end of the lake 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 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. Battle the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, pull it out to unlock the trophy or achievement.
