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.
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.
