Guide to Earning the A Prize Held High Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds

Author : Andrew Update:Apr 10,2025

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a wealth of activities beyond just tackling the largest beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's a detailed guide to help you achieve it.

How to Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

Contrary to what the trophy description might suggest, the focus isn't on dragons or wyverns but on the Curioshell Crab, which you'll need to capture using the Capture Net.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be tricky as it's distributed across various maps. Our top recommendation is to head to the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and navigate to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, which is situated between Areas 2 and 6. If you haven't discovered this spot yet, make sure to explore it.

Once you reach the Flowering Rocks, check the nearby puddle of water, a prime spot for the Curioshell Crab to spawn. If you struggle to spot it, Alma can assist you. She will mention if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

Equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then shoot to capture the crab. A successful capture will net you not only the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

The Curioshell Crab can be quite swift, so anticipate its movement and aim ahead to ensure a successful catch. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might find the crab more easily in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Keep in mind, the crab could appear in other areas as well, but these are the spots we've found to be most reliable.

That covers everything you need to know about securing the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, be sure to visit The Escapist.
