How to Unlock the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
While fishing might not be central to your main progression in the game, it provides a delightful diversion and a dedicated questline. Completing this will equip you with the necessary gear to pursue the trophy and achievement.
To start, you'll need to progress through Kanya's fishing questline by completing the following side quests, gathering the required items:

Seeking the Goldenfish
Your first task is to catch the Goldenfish, which can be found in cave water pools. Head to the Scarlet Forest in Area 6 and use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state offers the highest chance of the fish appearing.
Fishing for Favor
Next, you'll need to catch the Gravid Bowfin. This can be done at the Scarlet Forest base camp during the Plenty weather condition. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and cast your line to secure this catch.
The Catch of a Lifetime!
Kanya will then challenge you to catch a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. The Tuna is a popular choice for this quest. Visit the lake in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest, hook a big fish, and reel it in patiently.

After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here's how to proceed:
- 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.
- Walk into the deep end of the lake until you can't go 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. While the quest requires you to catch the Grand Escunite, your target for the trophy and achievement is the Goliath Squid.
- Watch for glowing blue shells. If you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Keep fighting the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once it's close enough to the shore, you'll pull it out and claim your trophy or achievement.
