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

While fishing might not be central to your main progression in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it offers a delightful diversion and its own unique questline. This questline is crucial for obtaining the right equipment needed to tackle this trophy and achievement.

To start, you'll need to progress through Kanya's fishing questline. This involves completing the following side quests:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves to find pools of water where the Goldenfish can be caught. The Scarlet Forest in Area 6 is a prime location, but remember to use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the chance of the fish spawning.
• Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin, which can be found at the Scarlet Forest base camp under the Plenty weather condition. Use the Emerald Jitterbait 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 in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a popular choice. Be patient as you reel in your catch.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your opportunity to unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's how to proceed:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is either Downpour in Inclemency. You can use the grill to wait or rest at your camp to change the weather conditions.
• Once the weather is right, go to the lake and walk into the deep end until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and back to encourage spawning.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your goal for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid.
• Look for squids with glowing blue shells. If you hook one and the reeling minigame starts, you're on the right track. Keep reeling and fighting until the squid tires out and you can pull it ashore, thus unlocking the trophy or achievement.

That's everything you need to know to secure the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
