How to Earn the Monster (Squid) Hunter Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

Though fishing isn't crucial to main story progression, it offers a refreshing diversion with its own dedicated questline. Completing these tasks will grant the necessary gear for pursuing this achievement.

Begin by advancing through Kanya's fishing quests. Follow her instructions and gather the required items:

• Seeking the Goldenfish: Look for Goldenfish in cave pools. The Scarlet Forest's Area 6 is ideal—use Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow bait. Spawn rates improve during Fallow weather.

Fishing for Favor: Catch the Gravid Bowfin near Scarlet Forest's base camp during Plenty weather. Equip Emerald Jitterbait for success.

The Catch of a Lifetime: Land a sizable fish requiring a reeling minigame, like a Tuna, found in Scarlet Forest's Area 17 lake.

After completing these tasks, Kanya assigns the Razzle Dazzle quest—the key to unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter achievement:

• Travel to Scarlet Forest's Area 17 during Downpour or Inclemency weather. Wait or rest at camp if needed.
• Wade into the deep lake section—if squids aren't present, fast travel and return.
• Use Kanya’s Tentacle Jig and fish for glowing blue shells.
• Catching a Goliath Squid triggers a reeling minigame—persist until victory for your trophy.
