All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds
In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll find a total of 12 secret achievements. Seven of these will naturally unlock as you progress through the main storyline, but the remaining five require some specific actions on your part. Let's dive into each of these optional objectives:
I Caught a Shooting Star!
To unlock this achievement, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip yourself with screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Use the screamer pods to stun it, then swiftly capture it with your Capture Net. This creature, shining like a shooting star, will secure you the achievement.
A Prize Held High
This achievement can be obtained in various locations, but for a sure bet, navigate to Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest. Look for a small puddle of water and use your Capture Net to catch the golden crab lurking there. Keep an ear out for Alma's comments; she'll often hint when you're close to a creature carrying the Ancient Wyvern Coin.
A Legacy Restored
As you delve into High Rank missions, you'll start crafting Artian gear. To unlock this achievement, you'll need to obtain an Artian Weapon of Rarity 8. This involves hunting Tempered monsters with Rarity 7 gear to gather the necessary materials. Keep pushing through the ranks and upgrading your arsenal.
Seasoned Hunter
Don't mix up Tempered monsters with Frenzied ones—the former are marked by a purple outline on the minimap, while the latter are outlined in red. To earn this achievement, you need to hunt or capture 50 Tempered monsters. They'll start appearing from Chapter 4 onwards, once you're into High Rank content.
Top of the Food Chain
This achievement requires you to hunt 50 Apex Predators. The specific monsters that count toward this total include Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, and Jin Dahaad. Keep tracking and taking down these top-tier beasts to claim your spot at the top.
