How To Get the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

Author : Eleanor Update:Apr 09,2025

In the expansive universe of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the game offers more than just thrilling monster hunts—it's filled with engaging side activities that enhance the player experience. For those aiming to secure the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement, this guide will walk you through the necessary steps to achieve this goal.

How to Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

While fishing might not be central to the main storyline, it provides a delightful diversion and its own set of quests. Engaging in this activity will equip you with the necessary tools to pursue the trophy or achievement.

Start by diving into Kanya's fishing questline. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves within the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, to catch the Goldenfish. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases your chances of encountering this fish.
  • Fishing for Favor: Next, target the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp. You'll need the Plenty weather condition and the Emerald Jitterbait to reel in this fish.
  • The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then ask you to catch a Whopper, which triggers a reeling minigame. A good spot to try is the lake in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, where you can aim for a Tuna.

Once you've completed these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your pathway to unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

  • Go to the Scarlet Forest, Area 17. Ensure the weather is either Downpour or Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions.
  • Venture 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 back to trigger their spawn.
  • Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya. Your goal is to catch the Goliath Squid, but you'll also need to grab the Grand Escunite during your fishing attempts.
  • Target the squids with glowing blue shells. If you hook one and the reeling minigame starts, you're on the right track. Battle the squid, reeling it in when it tires. Once it's near the shore, pull it out to unlock the trophy or achievement.
