Explore a vibrant world in Monster Hunter Wilds, filled with unique interactions that reward players in exciting ways. This guide will help you unlock the Squid Hunter trophy or achievement with ease.

Steps to Unlock the Squid Hunter Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds

While fishing may not drive the main storyline in the game, it offers a fun side activity with its own questline. Completing these tasks equips you with the tools needed to pursue this trophy.

Begin by advancing through Kanya’s fishing questline. Complete the following side quests by collecting the required items:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Locate the Goldenfish in cave water pools, such as in Area 6 of the Scarlet Forest. Use Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow bait. Fallow weather boosts spawn chances.
• Fishing for Favor: Catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during Plenty weather. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast into the water.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya tasks you with catching a large fish requiring the reeling minigame. Target a Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Hook and reel with patience.

After completing these quests, Kanya will assign the Razzle Dazzle quest, where you can earn the Squid Hunter trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds. Follow these steps:

• Travel to Area 17 in the Scarlet Forest during Downpour in Inclemency weather. Use the grill or camp to adjust conditions if needed.
• Head to the lake’s deep end until you can’t move further. Look for squids swimming. If none appear, fast travel elsewhere and return to check for spawns.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig from Kanya and start fishing.
• The quest targets the Grand Escunite, but for the trophy, focus on the Goliath Squid, identifiable by glowing blue shells.
• Hook a squid to start the reeling minigame. Persist until the squid tires, then reel it to shore to claim the trophy.
