Unlock All Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds

For all the completionists and trophy hunters out there, you'll be thrilled to learn that *Monster Hunter Wilds* offers a range of challenging hidden achievements to conquer. Don't worry, we've got you covered with a detailed guide on how to unlock each one.

All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there are 12 secret achievements waiting to be unlocked. Seven of these are linked to the main story progression, which you'll naturally achieve as you play through the game. The other five are tied to optional objectives, listed below:

  • I Caught a Shooting Star!: Caught a creature in the desert that shines like a shooting star.
  • A Prize Held High: Caught a creature that bears an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
  • A Legacy Restored: Obtained an Artian Weapon of Rarity 8.
  • Seasoned Hunter: Hunted 50 Tempered monsters.
  • Top of the Food Chain: Hunted 50 Apex Predators.

Some of these achievements are straightforward, while others require a bit more effort. Let's dive into the specifics of unlocking each one.

I Caught a Shooting Star!

To unlock this achievement, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip yourself with screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. When you spot it, shoot the screamer pods at the Baunos, then quickly use your Capture Net to catch it. This shimmering creature is your ticket to this celestial achievement.

A Prize Held High

This achievement can be obtained on any map, but you'll want to focus on tight corners and dead ends. Specifically, go to Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest and find the small puddle of water. Use your Capture Net to catch the small golden crab lurking there. Keep an ear out for Alma's remarks, as she'll often mention when a creature is holding something valuable like the Ancient Wyvern Coin.

A Legacy Restored

As you progress into High Rank missions, you can start crafting Artian gear. To get the Rarity 8 weapons and the necessary materials, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters using Rarity 7 gear. It's a challenging but rewarding journey to restore this legacy.

Seasoned Hunter

Don't confuse Tempered monsters with Frenzied ones; the former are highlighted in purple on your minimap, while the latter are outlined in red. Starting from Chapter 4 in the High Rank content, you'll encounter Tempered monsters. Slaying or capturing 50 of them will earn you the Seasoned Hunter achievement.

Top of the Food Chain

This achievement is straightforward but requires dedication. You need to hunt 50 Apex Predators, which include:

  • Rey Dau
  • Uth Duna
  • Nu Udra
  • Jin Dahaad

By focusing on these formidable creatures, you'll prove yourself as the ultimate hunter and claim your spot at the top of the food chain.
