How to Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
While fishing might not be central to your main progression in the game, it provides a delightful diversion and a specialized questline. This questline is crucial as it equips you with the tools needed to pursue the trophy and achievement.
To begin, you'll need to advance through Kanya's fishing questline. This involves completing several side quests where you collect specific items for her. Here's what you need to do:
- Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves and find pools of water where the Goldenfish can be caught. The Scarlet Forest in Area 6 is a prime location. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish spawning.
- Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to snag this fish.
- The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then ask you to catch a Whopper, which can be any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a good target. Patience is key as you hook and reel in these big catches.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:
- Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is either Downpour or Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the weather conditions.
- Once the conditions are right, go to the lake and wade into the deep end until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
- Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid. Watch for the glowing blue shells.
- If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Keep battling the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, you'll successfully pull it out, unlocking the trophy or achievement.
