Slaying monsters is thrilling, but sometimes, capturing them is the key to unlocking their full potential in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here's a detailed guide on how to effectively capture monsters and secure all their valuable parts.
Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds
The process of capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward yet requires careful execution. Begin by weakening the monster until it's vulnerable. Your Palico will notify you when a monster is weak, and you'll also see visual cues such as a skull icon appearing over the monster on your minimap. Additionally, the monster may start limping or drooling, indicating low HP.
Once the monster is sufficiently weakened, it's time to deploy your trap. Choose between a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap and place it on the ground. Lure the monster into the trap, and once it's ensnared, it will be incapacitated for a brief period. This is your opportunity to use Tranq Bombs—typically one or two will suffice. Alternatively, you can use Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, depending on your preferred weapon and playstyle.
Successfully capturing a monster will conclude the quest and transport you back to Base Camp.
How to Get Traps and Tranq Items
While your Palico might occasionally set traps, it's wise to carry your own into the field. There are two types of traps at your disposal: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. To craft a Pitfall Trap, you'll need a Trap Tool and either Spiderwebs or Ivy for the Net. For a Shock Trap, combine a Trap Tool with a Thunderbug Capacitor.
For your Tranq items, a Tranq Bomb can be crafted using a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These Tranq Bombs can then be combined with Throwing Knives or Normal Ammo to create Tranq Blades and Tranq Ammo, respectively.
