"Guide: Defeating and Capturing Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Ready to take on the fearsome Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds* but worried about getting scorched and losing your hard-earned meat? Don't worry, brave hunter, we've got you covered! We'll dive deep into the Quematrice's weaknesses, effective strategies, attacks to dodge, and how to not only defeat but also capture this fiery beast.

How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Quematrice, a giant chicken-like creature inspired by the Cockatrice, is a mid-sized monster that primarily breathes fire. Here’s what you need to know:

• Weaknesses: Water
• Resistances: N/A
• Immunities: Sonic Bomb

Most weapons are effective against it, but due to its area-of-effect attacks, ranged weapons might be preferable for less confident hunters.

Key attacks to watch out for include:

• Tail Attacks: While tail strikes and sweeps deal damage, the tail slam is particularly dangerous when you're behind it. The Quematrice lifts its tail high before slamming it down. Dodge or block to avoid damage.
• Fire Attacks: These not only cause immediate damage but can ignite you, draining your health, and even set the ground on fire. These attacks have little warning. The Quematrice might rear its head and roar before flinging fire from its tail, perform a sweeping fire attack after lifting its head and tail, or combine fire with a charging attack. If you're at range, move backward to avoid these.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

To capture the Quematrice, you'll need:

• A Shock Trap
• A Pitfall Trap
• At least two Tranq Bombs

While one trap is technically sufficient, having a backup is crucial in *Monster Hunter* games, especially if the monster flees or another creature triggers it.

When the Quematrice is sufficiently weakened and limping, or when the skull icon appears on the mini-map, set your trap. It's best to wait until it moves to a new area after limping away. Place your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to secure your capture.
