How To Get the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

In the vibrant world of Monster Hunter Wilds, exciting interactions await, offering diverse rewards. This guide helps you unlock the coveted Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy/achievement. While not crucial to the main storyline, fishing offers a rewarding side quest, ultimately providing the necessary tools for this achievement.

First, complete Kanya's fishing questline. This involves several steps:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Catch a Goldenfish in cave pools. Area 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a good spot; use Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow bait. Fallow weather increases spawning chances.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, catch a Gravid Bowfin in the Scarlet Forest base camp during "Plenty" weather. Use the Emerald Jitterbait.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Catch any large fish requiring the reeling minigame (a Tuna in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest works well).

After completing these, Kanya will assign the "Razzle Dazzle" quest, leading to the trophy/achievement.

Go to Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Ensure "Downpour" weather in "Inclemency" (use the grill or camp to adjust). Wade into the deep lake until you can go no further. Spot the squids (if none appear, fast travel and return). Equip the Tentacle Jig and fish for squids with glowing blue shells. The reeling minigame signifies a Goliath Squid—reel it in to unlock the trophy/achievement.
