Ready to take on the fiery Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? Don't let its flames and hunger for your meat intimidate you. We've got you covered with all the details on its weaknesses, strategies, attacks to avoid, and how to not only defeat but also capture this formidable foe.

How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Quematrice, a beast reminiscent of the Cockatrice, is a mid-sized monster that breathes fire rather than turning you to stone—thankfully! While most weapons are effective against it, its area-based attacks make ranged weapons a safer choice for less confident hunters.

Weaknesses: Water
Resistances: N/A
Immunities: Sonic Bomb

When facing the Quematrice, watch out for its tail attacks. The heaviest hitter is the tail slam, where it raises its tail high before smashing it down. You can avoid this by sidestepping or blocking. However, the real danger comes from its fire attacks, which can not only deal immediate damage but also set you and the ground ablaze, causing ongoing health loss.

The fire attacks are tricky to predict. The Quematrice might rear its head and roar before spewing flames from its tail, or it could do a full sweep after a similar pose, engulfing the area around it in fire. It can also charge at you and then turn sharply to throw fire in your direction. If you're using ranged weapons, start moving backward as soon as you see these moves to minimize damage.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires the right tools: a Shock Trap and a Pitfall Trap, along with at least two Tranq Bombs. While you only need one trap, having a backup is crucial in case the monster flees or another monster triggers it.

Once the Quematrice is weakened to the point of limping, or if you see the skull icon on the mini-map, it's time to set a trap. Wait until it moves to a new area after limping off, as this simplifies the process. Lay your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to secure your capture.
