While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be exhilarating, mastering the art of trapping them is crucial if you aim to collect every monster part needed for armor forging. To successfully trap monsters, you'll need Trap Tools, and here’s how you can acquire them.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not offer explicit tutorials on trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with the series, the process should feel intuitive.
To get your hands on Trap Tools, head over to the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage in conversation with him and browse through his inventory until you find the Trap Tools, priced at 200 Zenny each. I highly recommend stocking up on these, particularly if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aiming to capture every type of monster in the game.
Remember, Trap Tools can only be purchased at the Base Camp; they aren't available in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
Once you've secured your Trap Tools, it's time to deploy them effectively. You can combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to form a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps will serve their purpose, but be mindful that certain monsters have immunities. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap.
Also, keep in mind you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened.
That’s the complete guide on obtaining and using Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
