Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but to truly master the game, you'll need to learn how to trap them as well. Trapping monsters is essential for gathering all the necessary parts for forging armor. To do this effectively, you'll need Trap Tools. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and use Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, if you're familiar with previous games in the series, the process will feel intuitive.
To get Trap Tools, head to your Base Camp and speak with the Provisions Stockpiler NPC. Browse through his inventory until you find the Trap Tools, which are priced at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on these, especially if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every monster in the game.
Remember, Trap Tools can only be purchased at Base Camp and are not available in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to utilize them effectively. You can combine them with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to make a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that certain monsters have immunities. For example, Shock Traps won't affect Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.
Also, keep in mind that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened.
That's the complete guide on how to get and use Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
