While Monster Hunter Wilds offers countless adventures beyond hunting massive creatures, some players seek specific challenges like the A Prize Held High trophy. Here's your complete guide to securing this achievement.

How To Earn the A Prize Held High Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds

Contrary to what the trophy description might suggest, this challenge requires capturing a creature - specifically the elusive Curioshell Crab using your Capture Net.

Finding this unique creature can be tricky since it appears across various locations. Our most consistent hunting ground has been the Scarlet Forest. Begin at the base camp and head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp (located between Areas 2 and 6 if you haven't discovered it yet).

When you arrive, examine the nearby water puddle - prime territory for Curioshell Crabs. If you're struggling to spot one, pay attention to Alma; her comment about a creature "holding something" signals a crab's presence nearby.

Successful Capture Technique

• Equip your Capture Net
• Wait for the reticle to turn orange (indicating proper aim)
• Time your shot carefully to intercept the quick-moving crab

A successful capture rewards you with both the Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin. These speedy creatures require anticipation - aim slightly ahead of their path to ensure a clean catch.

Alternative Locations

While the Scarlet Forest provides reliable sightings, you might also find Curioshell Crabs in:

• Windward Plains (Area 13)
• Scarlet Forest (Area 8)

Remember, these creatures may appear unexpectedly in other regions too. We'll continue updating this guide as we discover more consistent spawn locations.
