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

While fishing might not be central to the main storyline, it offers a delightful diversion and a dedicated questline that ultimately equips you with the tools needed to tackle this specific achievement.

To embark on this journey, you must first advance through Kanya’s fishing questline. This involves completing a series of side quests where you collect specific items for her. Here's a detailed walkthrough:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Your first task is to catch the elusive Goldenfish, which can be found in cave water pools. Head to the Scarlet Forest in Area 6 and 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. This can be done at the Scarlet Forest base camp 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, found in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, is a popular choice. Patience is key as you hook and reel in these giants.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is either Downpour or Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather conditions.
• Once the conditions are right, proceed to the lake and wade into the deep end until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Keep an eye out for glowing blue shells.
• If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right path. Battle the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, pull it out to claim your prize and unlock the trophy or achievement.
