Mastering Monster Capture Techniques in Monster Hunter Wilds

Slaying monsters is thrilling, but capturing them is essential if you're aiming to collect all their valuable parts in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here's your comprehensive guide to capturing these beasts effectively.

Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

The art of capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward yet requires precision. Start by weakening the monster. Your Palico will notify you when the monster is vulnerable, but you can also watch for other indicators such as a skull icon over the monster on your minimap, or signs of the monster limping and drooling, which signal low HP.

Once the monster is sufficiently weakened, it's time to set your trap. You have two options: a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap. Place the trap on the ground and strategically lure the monster into it. When the monster steps into the trap, it will be momentarily incapacitated. This is your cue to use Tranq Bombs. Typically, one or two Tranq Bombs will suffice to capture the monster. Alternatively, you can use Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, tailored to your weapon and playstyle.

Successfully capturing a monster will conclude your quest and transport you back to Base Camp, ready to claim your rewards.

How to Get Traps and Tranq Items

While your Palico might occasionally set traps for you, it's wise to bring your own. You can choose between two types of traps: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. Crafting a Pitfall Trap requires a Trap Tool and a Net, which can be sourced from Spiderwebs or Ivy. For a Shock Trap, you'll need a Trap Tool and a Thunderbug Capacitor.

To obtain Tranq items, you'll craft Tranq Bombs using a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These can then be combined with Throwing Knives to create Tranq Blades or with Normal Ammo to produce Tranq Ammo.
