All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds
In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll encounter 12 secret achievements. Seven of these will naturally unlock as you progress through the main story. The remaining five require you to complete specific optional objectives. Let's dive into the details:
- 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 strategy. Let's break down how to unlock each one:
I Caught a Shooting Star!
To catch this elusive creature, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip yourself with screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Use the screamer pods to stun it, then swiftly capture it with your Capture Net.
A Prize Held High
This achievement can be achieved in various maps, but Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a prime location. Look for a small puddle of water and use your Capture Net to catch the golden crab lurking there. Keep an ear out for Alma's comments; she'll often mention if a creature is carrying something special, like the Ancient Wyvern Coin.
A Legacy Restored
Once you reach High Rank missions, you can start crafting Artian gear. To obtain Rarity 8 weapons, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters while equipped with Rarity 7 gear. This will provide you with the necessary materials to craft these high-level weapons.
Seasoned Hunter
Don't mix up Tempered monsters with Frenzied ones; the former are marked in purple on your minimap, while the latter are outlined in red. Start hunting these Tempered monsters from Chapter 4 onwards, as you delve into High Rank content. Both slaying and capturing them will contribute to your achievement progress.
Top of the Food Chain
This achievement is straightforward but requires dedication. Only the following monsters count as Apex Predators: Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, and Jin Dahaad. Hunt 50 of these formidable beasts to claim your spot at the top.
With these strategies in hand, you're well on your way to unlocking all hidden achievements in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed guides, be sure to check out The Escapist, where you'll find the best gathering sets and more to enhance your gaming experience.
