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

While fishing might not be central to the main storyline, it offers a delightful diversion and a dedicated questline that ultimately equips you to tackle this achievement.

To begin, you'll need to progress through Kanya's fishing questline, which involves completing several side quests:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves in 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 the likelihood of the fish spawning.

• Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.

• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper, which can be any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a popular choice. Hook a big fish and reel it in patiently.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how to proceed:

• Head to the Scarlet Forest, Area 17: Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions.

• Locate the Squids: Walk 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 return to see if they spawn.

• Equip the Tentacle Jig: Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya to start fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid.

• Reel in the Goliath Squid: Look for squids with glowing blue shells. If you hook one and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Keep fighting the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, pull it out to claim your prize and unlock the trophy or achievement.
