Monster Hunter Rise: Winning the High Trophy

Hunting behemoths isn't the only way to stay busy in Monster Hunter Wilds. For those aiming for the coveted "A Prize Held High" trophy or achievement, the key isn't a fearsome dragon, but the surprisingly elusive Curioshell Crab. This little crustacean is your target, and your trusty Capture Net is your weapon of choice.

Finding these crabs can be tricky; they're scattered across various maps. However, we've found the Scarlet Forest to be a reliable hunting ground. Head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp (located between Areas 2 and 6). Near the water puddle in this area, you'll find Curioshell Crabs spawning frequently. If you're having trouble spotting them, listen for Alma—she'll mention a creature carrying something, indicating a nearby Curioshell Crab.

Equip your Capture Net, aim for the orange reticle, and snag that crab! A successful capture will reward you with not only the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin. Remember, these crabs are quick, so anticipate their movements and aim ahead of their path.

While the Scarlet Forest (Area 6 and Area 8) is a good spot, you might also find them in Area 13 of the Windward Plains. Keep in mind that they can spawn in other areas as well, but these locations have proven reliable.

That’s all you need to know about obtaining the "A Prize Held High" trophy/achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more gaming guides and news, check out The Escapist.
