"Guide to Earning the Squid Hunter Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In the vast and captivating world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's more to explore than just battling behemoths. For those eager to secure the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement, this guide will steer you through the journey step-by-step.

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

While fishing may not be central to your main quest in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it opens up a delightful side questline and is crucial for unlocking this coveted achievement. Here's how you can embark on this rewarding journey.

Begin by engaging with Kanya’s fishing questline. To progress, you'll need to complete a series of side quests, each requiring you to gather specific items:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves within the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, to catch the elusive Goldenfish. Utilize either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish appearing.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, target the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to land this fish.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya's final challenge is to reel in a Whopper. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a suitable target. Engage in the reeling minigame to catch this big fish.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter achievement. Here's how to secure it:

1. Navigate to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait by the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather conditions.
2. Proceed to the lake and venture into the deepest part until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return to trigger their spawn.
3. Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya. While fishing, aim for the Grand Escunite, but your true target for the trophy is the Goliath Squid. Keep an eye out for squids with glowing blue shells.
4. Once you hook a squid and the reeling minigame starts, you're on the right path. Patiently battle the creature, reeling it in as it tires. When it's close enough to the shore, successfully pull it out to claim your trophy or achievement.

That's everything you need to know to unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For further tips and tricks, be sure to check out The Escapist.
