Unlock All Secret Trophies in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

For all the completionists and trophy hunters out there, you'll be thrilled to learn that *Monster Hunter Wilds* offers a range of challenging achievements. We're here to guide you through unlocking all the hidden achievements in this exciting game.

All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you can unlock 12 secret achievements. Seven of these are tied to the main story and will unlock naturally as you progress through the game. The remaining five are linked to optional objectives, which are detailed below:

  • I Caught a Shooting Star!: Caught a creature in the desert that shines like a shooting star.
  • A Prize Held High: Caught a creature that bears an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
  • A Legacy Restored: Obtained an Artian Weapon of Rarity 8.
  • Seasoned Hunter: Hunted 50 Tempered monsters.
  • Top of the Food Chain: Hunted 50 Apex Predators.

While some of these achievements are straightforward, others require a bit more effort. Below, I'll provide detailed instructions on how to unlock each one.

I Caught a Shooting Star!

To unlock this achievement, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip yourself with screamer pods and look for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Shoot the screamer pods at it, then use your Capture Net to catch it.

A Prize Held High

This achievement can be achieved on any map by searching for tight corners and dead ends. Specifically, go to Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest and locate the small puddle of water. Use your Capture Net to catch the small golden crab. Alma will often comment when you're near a creature with the Ancient Wyvern Coin, hinting at its presence.

A Legacy Restored

Once you reach High Rank missions, start crafting Artian gear. To obtain Rarity 8 weapons and materials, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters while equipped with Rarity 7 gear.

Seasoned Hunter

Do not confuse Tempered monsters with Frenzied monsters, the latter being outlined in red. Tempered monsters are outlined in purple on the minimap. Both slaying and capturing these monsters will count towards this achievement. They start appearing from Chapter 4 onwards, once you enter High Rank content.

Top of the Food Chain

This achievement is straightforward, but note that only the following monsters are considered Apex Predators: Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, and Jin Dahaad.

And that's how to unlock all hidden achievements in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including the best gathering set to use, be sure to check out The Escapist.
