"Guide to Winning the A Prize Held High in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the thrill of the hunt isn't limited to just the colossal beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the coveted A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's your guide to success.

How To Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

Contrary to what you might expect from the trophy's description, your focus won't be on dragons or wyverns. Instead, your target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, which you'll need to capture using the Capture Net.

Locating this creature can be challenging as it appears across various maps. Our most successful strategy has been to head to the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and navigate to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp. If you haven't discovered this location yet, it's nestled between Areas 2 and 6.

Upon reaching the Flowering Rocks, scan the nearby puddle of water, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If it's not immediately visible, Alma can assist you. She'll mention if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

Equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then fire to capture the crab. A successful capture will net you not only the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Be mindful that the Curioshell Crab moves swiftly, so anticipate its path and aim ahead to secure your capture. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might also find it more frequently in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Remember, the crab can appear in other areas of the maps as well, but these locations have proven reliable.

That's all the information you need to secure the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, be sure to visit The Escapist.
