Guide to Earning the Squid Hunter Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds

In the expansive universe of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, players can engage in a variety of fascinating activities, each offering unique rewards and challenges. One such pursuit is unlocking the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. This guide will walk you through the steps to achieve this in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

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

While fishing might not be central to the main storyline, it presents an engaging diversion and a special questline. Completing this questline equips you with the necessary tools to go after the trophy and achievement.

Begin by advancing through Kanya’s fishing questline, which involves completing a series of side quests. Here's what you need to do:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves and find pools of water to catch the Goldenfish. The Scarlet Forest in Area 6 is a prime location, especially during the Fallow weather state. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits to increase your chances of success.
• Fishing for Favor: Next up, 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 fish.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper. Any large fish will do, but the Tuna is a popular choice. Visit the lake in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest and engage in the reeling minigame to land a big one.

After completing these quests, Kanya will direct you to the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your pathway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. You'll need the Downpour in Inclemency weather condition. You can wait by the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather.
• Walk into the deep end of the lake until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none are present, fast travel to another location and return to encourage spawning.
• Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya to fish. Although the quest asks for the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Keep an eye out for glowing blue shells.
• If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame starts, you're on the right path. Battle the creature patiently, reeling it in as it tires. Once you've brought it close to the shore, pull it out to secure your trophy or achievement.

That's everything you need to know to unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, visit The Escapist.
