Quematrice Hunting Strategy in Monster Hunter Wilds

Elemental Weakness: Water
Notable Resistances: None
Immunities: Sonic Bombs

This oversized avian predator draws clear inspiration from mythical cockatrices, though thankfully it trades petrification for scorching flames. As a mid-sized monster, most weapon types prove effective. However, given its tendency for area-of-effect attacks, ranged weapon users may enjoy an advantage.

The creature employs several dangerous moves:
- Tail swipes deliver moderate damage
- The devastating tail slam (recognizable by its dramatic wind-up) demands quick dodges or blocks
- Various fire attacks that inflict burning status and leave dangerous terrain

Flame attacks come with subtle tells:
1. Head-rearing roar preceding a frontal fire spit
2. Full 360-degree fire sweep after raising head and tail
3. Charge-and-turn maneuver that ends with a fiery surprise
Ranged hunters should create distance during these attack animations.

Quematrice Capturing Techniques

Essential capture items:
- Shock Trap OR Pitfall Trap (recommend bringing both)
- Minimum 2 Tranq Bombs
Having backup traps proves crucial, as monsters may flee or other creatures might trigger your trap prematurely.

Capture procedure:
1. Weaken Quematrice until limping (watch for skull icon)
2. Ideally wait until it retreats to another zone
3. Deploy trap in its path
4. Lure monster into trap
5. Immediately throw both Tranq Bombs to secure capture
