All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll encounter 12 secret achievements. Seven of these are naturally unlocked as you progress through the main story. The other five, however, require you to complete specific optional objectives, detailed below:

I Caught a Shooting Star!: Caught a creature in the desert that shines like a shooting star.
A Prize Held High: Caught a creature that bears an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
A Legacy Restored: Obtained an Artian Weapon of Rarity 8.
Seasoned Hunter: Hunted 50 Tempered monsters.
Top of the Food Chain: Hunted 50 Apex Predators.

Some of these achievements are straightforward, while others require a bit more effort. Let's dive into the specifics of how to unlock each one.

I Caught a Shooting Star!

To catch this elusive creature, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip yourself with screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Use the screamer pods to stun it, then swiftly catch it with your Capture Net.

A Prize Held High

You can achieve this in various maps by searching for tight corners and dead ends. Specifically, go to Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest and find the small puddle of water. Use your Capture Net to catch the small golden crab lurking there. Keep an ear out for Alma, who may comment on creatures carrying valuable items like the Ancient Wyvern Coin.

A Legacy Restored

Once you're into High Rank missions, focus on crafting Artian gear. To get your hands on Rarity 8 weapons and materials, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters while equipped with Rarity 7 gear.

Seasoned Hunter

Be sure not to mix up Tempered monsters with Frenzied ones—the former are marked in purple on your minimap, while the latter are outlined in red. Start hunting Tempered monsters from Chapter 4 onwards, once you've reached High Rank content. Both slaying and capturing these monsters will contribute to this achievement.

Top of the Food Chain

This achievement is as straightforward as it sounds. You'll need to hunt 50 Apex Predators. The monsters that qualify as Apex Predators are:

  • Rey
  • Dau
  • Uth
  • Duna
  • Nu
  • Udra
  • Jin
  • Dahaad
