How to Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
Fishing may not be crucial to your main storyline progress in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but it provides a delightful diversion and its own distinct questline. Engaging in this activity will eventually equip you with the necessary gear to pursue the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement.
To begin, you must complete Kanya’s fishing questline. This involves fulfilling several side quests by collecting the items she requests:

- Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the caves and find pools of water to catch the Goldenfish. A prime location is the Scarlet Forest in Area 6. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state increases the likelihood of the fish appearing.
- Fishing for Favor: Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp. The Plenty weather condition is essential for this quest. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to snag this elusive fish.
- The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a popular choice. Patience is key as you reel in your big catch.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, where you can finally unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Here's what you need to do:
- Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions.
- Proceed to the lake and wade into the deep water until you can go no further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return to see if they spawn.
- Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. Although the quest asks for the Grand Escunite, your goal for the trophy or achievement is the Goliath Squid. Target the squids with glowing blue shells.
- When you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's near the shore, pull it out to secure the Goliath Squid and unlock the trophy or achievement.
With these steps, you'll have all the information needed to unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, visit The Escapist.
