Attention all completionists and trophy hunters! *Monster Hunter Wilds* offers a thrilling challenge with its hidden achievements, and we're here to guide you through unlocking every single one of them. Let's dive into the details of how to conquer these elusive trophies.
In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there are 12 secret achievements waiting to be discovered. Seven of these achievements are seamlessly integrated into the main storyline, unlocking naturally as you progress through the game. The remaining five are tied to optional objectives, which we'll detail below:
While some of these achievements are straightforward, others might require a bit of extra effort. Let's break down each one:
To unlock this achievement, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Prepare some screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Use the screamer pods to stun it, then quickly deploy your Capture Net to catch it. This shining creature is your ticket to this celestial achievement.
This achievement can be achieved in various maps, but Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a prime spot. Look for a small puddle of water and search for a golden crab. Use your Capture Net to snag this elusive creature. Your companion, Alma, will often hint at the presence of a creature bearing an Ancient Wyvern Coin, making your hunt a bit easier.
Once you reach High Rank missions, you can start crafting Artian gear. To obtain Rarity 8 weapons and materials, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters using Rarity 7 gear. This achievement celebrates your dedication to mastering the art of weapon crafting.
Don't confuse Tempered monsters with Frenzied ones, which are highlighted in red on the minimap. Tempered monsters are marked in purple. Starting from Chapter 4, as you delve into High Rank content, you can begin hunting these formidable foes. Both slaying and capturing them will contribute to your goal of hunting 50 Tempered monsters.
This achievement is straightforward but requires patience. You must hunt 50 Apex Predators, which include the following monsters: Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, and Jin Dahaad. Each successful hunt brings you closer to claiming your spot at the top of the food chain.
