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

While fishing might not be central to the main storyline of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it provides a delightful diversion and its own set of quests that ultimately equip you for this challenge. To begin, you must progress through Kanya's fishing questline, completing the following side quests by gathering the required items:

Seeking the Goldenfish

Your first task is to catch the Goldenfish, which can be found in the pools of water within caves. The Scarlet Forest in Area 6 is a prime location. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow as bait. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish appearing.

Fishing for Favor

Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin. Head to the base camp in the Scarlet Forest during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.

The Catch of a Lifetime!

Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a popular choice. Be patient as you hook and reel in your catch.

Upon completing these quests, Kanya will present the Razzle Dazzle quest, where the opportunity to earn the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement awaits. Here's how to proceed:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. Use the grill or rest at your camp to adjust the conditions if necessary.
• Walk into the deep end of the lake until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none are present, fast travel to another location and return to potentially spawn them.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and begin fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your real target for the trophy is the Goliath Squid.
• Keep an eye out for squids with glowing blue shells. If you hook one and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right path. Battle the squid and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close to the shore, you'll successfully capture it and unlock the trophy or achievement.

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