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

While fishing might not be central to your main progress in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it offers a delightful diversion and a dedicated questline. This questline is crucial for equipping you with the necessary tools to pursue the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.

Begin by advancing through Kanya’s fishing questline, which involves completing the following side quests:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves in the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 6, to catch the Goldenfish. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases your chances of encountering this fish.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this fish.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper. Any large fish will suffice, but Tuna found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a popular choice. Engage in the reeling minigame to successfully land your catch.

Once you've completed these tasks, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to obtaining the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

1. Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17.
2. Ensure the weather condition is Downpour in Inclemency. Use the grill to wait or rest at your camp to change the weather if necessary.
3. Approach the lake and wade into the deep end until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none are visible, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
4. Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing.
5. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy or achievement is the Goliath Squid. Watch for shells glowing blue.
6. If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Keep battling the creature and reel it in when it tires.
7. Once the squid is close enough to the shore, pull it out to unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
