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 offers a delightful diversion and a dedicated questline that can lead you to the trophy or achievement you seek. To embark on this journey, you'll need to follow Kanya's fishing questline meticulously.

Seeking the Goldenfish: Your first task is to catch the elusive Goldenfish, which can be found in the water pools within caves. A prime location is the Scarlet Forest in Area 6. Ensure you use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits for the best chance of success. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish appearing.

Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin, located 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 challenge you to catch a Whopper—a large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. A common choice is the Tuna, found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Patience is key here as you hook and reel in your big catch.

Once you've completed these tasks, Kanya will introduce you to the Razzle Dazzle quest, where you can unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions.
• Proceed to the lake and venture into the deep end until you can go no 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 and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Keep an eye out for shells glowing blue.
• If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle with the creature, reeling it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, pull it out to claim it and unlock the trophy or achievement.
