All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds
In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you can unlock 12 secret achievements. Seven of these are linked to the main storyline and will unlock naturally as you progress through the game. The other five are tied to optional objectives, which we'll detail 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.
While some of these achievements are straightforward, others might require a bit more effort. Let's delve 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 some screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots in this area. Use the screamer pods to stun it, then swiftly catch it with your Capture Net.
A Prize Held High
This achievement can be achieved on any map by searching for tight corners and dead ends. Head to Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest and locate the small puddle of water. Use your Capture Net to catch the small golden crab that resides there. Keep an ear out for Alma's remarks, as she will often point out creatures holding special items like the Ancient Wyvern Coin.
A Legacy Restored
Once you've reached the High Rank missions, you can start working on crafting Artian gear. To obtain Rarity 8 weapons, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters using Rarity 7 gear. This will provide the materials necessary for crafting these high-tier weapons.
Seasoned Hunter
Be sure not to confuse Tempered monsters with Frenzied monsters, as the former are outlined in purple on your minimap, while the latter are outlined in red. Tempered monsters begin to appear from Chapter 4 onwards, once you delve into High Rank content. Slaying or capturing these monsters will contribute to your progress towards this achievement.
Top of the Food Chain
This achievement is straightforward, but remember that only certain monsters count as Apex Predators. These include Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, and Jin Dahaad. Hunt 50 of these formidable creatures to unlock this achievement.
And that's how you unlock all the hidden achievements in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including the best gathering sets to use, be sure to check out The Escapist.
