Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but capturing them is crucial for collecting all their parts. Here's your guide to mastering monster captures.

Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward yet strategic. Begin by weakening the monster until it's vulnerable. Your Palico will signal when it's time, but keep an eye out for additional signs like a skull icon on your minimap or the monster limping or drooling, indicating its HP is low.

Once the monster is weakened, set up your trap. You have two options: a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap. Position the trap on the ground and lure the monster into it. As soon as the monster is caught and immobilized, quickly throw one or two Tranq Bombs to subdue it. Alternatively, you can use Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, tailored to your weapon and playstyle. Successfully capturing the monster will conclude your quest, sending you back to Base Camp.

How to Get Traps and Tranq Items

While your Palico might occasionally set traps, it's wise to carry your own into the field. You'll need either a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap. Craft a Pitfall Trap using a Trap Tool and a Net (such as Spiderwebs or Ivy). For a Shock Trap, combine a Trap Tool with a Thunderbug Capacitor.

For Tranq items, craft Tranq Bombs with a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These can be further combined with Throwing Knives or Normal Ammo to create Tranq Blades and Tranq Ammo, respectively.
