The Quematrice, a large chicken-like monster reminiscent of a Cockatrice, primarily attacks with fire. While most weapons are effective against it, its area-of-effect attacks may favor ranged weapons for less experienced hunters.

While its tail sweeps and strikes can inflict damage, the most potent attack is its tail slam. This involves raising its tail high before slamming it down. Sidestepping or blocking easily negates this attack. However, its fire attacks are more dangerous. These not only cause direct damage but also inflict burning, steadily draining your health and potentially igniting the ground.

These fire attacks are less telegraphed. One involves rearing its head, roaring, and then flinging a flame from its tail. Another is a full sweep after a roar, engulfing the surrounding area in flames. It can also incorporate this into a charging attack, running towards you before unleashing a fiery turn. For ranged hunters, retreating as it charges is the safest option.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires preparation. Bring Shock Traps, Pitfall Traps, and at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap is technically sufficient, having a backup is crucial, especially considering the possibility of escape or interference from other monsters.

Once the Quematrice is significantly weakened (indicated by limping or a disappearing skull icon on the mini-map), lay a trap. Ideally, wait until it moves to a new area after limping. Lure it into the trap, then deploy two Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
