A Prize Held High: Monster Hunter Wilds Trophy Guide

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a wealth of activities beyond just taking down colossal beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's your guide to success.

How To Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

You might assume this trophy involves battling dragons or wyverns, but it actually requires you to target the elusive Curioshell Crab. This creature can be captured using the Capture Net, which is essential for this achievement.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be tricky as it's scattered across various maps. The most effective spot we've discovered is in the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head towards Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, situated between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you arrive, check the nearby puddle of water, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If it's not immediately visible, Alma can assist you. She'll mention if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

To capture it, equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then shoot. A successful capture will net you both the Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Given the Curioshell Crab's swift movements, anticipate its path and shoot ahead to secure your catch. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might also find it in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Although it can appear in other areas, these are the most reliable spots we've tested.
