Mastering Monster Capture in Monster Hunter Wilds

While slaying monsters is thrilling, capturing them is crucial for obtaining complete sets of parts. This guide details how to successfully capture monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds.

The Capture Process:

Capturing monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds is straightforward. Weaken the monster, trap it, and then use a tranquilizer item.

Your Palico will alert you when a monster is weakened. Other indicators include a skull icon above the monster on your minimap, and observable signs of weakness like limping or drooling.

Once weakened, deploy a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap. Lure the monster onto the trap. Once trapped, quickly throw Tranq Bombs. One or two should suffice. Alternatively, craft Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades depending on your weapon and preferred playstyle.

Successfully capturing a monster ends the quest and returns you to Base Camp.

Obtaining Traps and Tranquilizer Items:

While your Palico may occasionally set traps, it's recommended to carry your own. There are two trap types:

• Pitfall Trap: Requires a Trap Tool and a Net (Spiderwebs or Ivy).
• Shock Trap: Requires a Trap Tool and a Thunderbug Capacitor.

Tranquilizer items can be crafted:

• Tranq Bomb: Crafted using a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom.
• Tranq Ammo/Tranq Blades: Tranq Bombs can be combined with Throwing Knives (for Tranq Blades) or Normal Ammo (for Tranq Ammo).
