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

While fishing might not be central to your main quest, it offers a delightful diversion and a unique questline that sets the stage for obtaining the trophy or achievement. Here’s how you can achieve this goal:

Begin by advancing through Kanya’s fishing questline, which involves completing specific side quests:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to pools of water in caves, such as those in the Scarlet Forest in Area 6. Use Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the chance of the Goldenfish spawning.
• Fishing for Favor: Catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait for success.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will ask for a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. Target the Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest and reel it in patiently.

Once you've completed these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is crucial for unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. Use the grill or rest at your camp to adjust the conditions if necessary.
• Enter the lake and move to the deepest part. Look for squids swimming around. If none are present, fast travel to another location and return to respawn them.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. While you might catch the Grand Escunite during this quest, your real target for the trophy is the Goliath Squid.
• Keep an eye out for glowing blue shells. If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle the creature, reeling it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, you'll secure it, unlocking the trophy or achievement.
