For all the completionists and trophy hunters out there, *Monster Hunter Wilds* offers a challenging set of hidden achievements that can test even the most seasoned players. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock all the hidden achievements in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there are 12 secret achievements waiting to be unlocked. Seven of these are tied to the main story progression, which you'll naturally unlock as you play through the game. The remaining five achievements are linked to optional objectives, detailed below:
While some of these achievements are straightforward, others require a bit more effort. Let's dive into the details on how to unlock each one.
To unlock this achievement, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip yourself with some screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Once you spot it, shoot the screamer pods at the Baunos, then quickly use your Capture Net to catch it. This shimmering creature is your ticket to the achievement.
This achievement can be unlocked in any map, but Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a great spot to start. Look for a small puddle of water in this zone. Near this area, you'll find a small golden crab. Use your Capture Net to catch it. Keep an ear out for Alma's comments; she'll often remark when you're near a creature carrying the Ancient Wyvern Coin, making it easier to spot your target.
As you progress into High Rank missions, you can begin crafting Artian gear. To unlock this achievement, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters using Rarity 7 gear to gather the necessary materials for crafting an Artian Weapon of Rarity 8. This is your chance to restore a legacy and claim the achievement.
Don't confuse Tempered monsters with Frenzied monsters; the former are marked in purple on your minimap, while the latter are outlined in red. Starting from Chapter 4, Tempered monsters will begin to appear in High Rank content. Hunt or capture 50 of these to unlock the Seasoned Hunter achievement.
To reach the top of the food chain, you'll need to hunt 50 Apex Predators. Only the following monsters count towards this achievement: Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, and Jin Dahaad. Focus on these formidable foes to claim your spot at the top.
