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

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a wealth of activities beyond just battling the largest beasts. For those eager to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, follow this guide to learn exactly what you need to do.

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

You might assume the trophy involves dragons or wyverns, but the key to this achievement is actually capturing the Curioshell Crab using your Capture Net.

Locating the Curioshell Crab can be challenging since it appears across various maps. However, the most consistent spot we've found is in the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head towards Area 6, known as the Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, which lies between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach this area, focus on the nearby puddle of water, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If it's not immediately visible, listen to Alma; she'll mention if a creature is holding something, signaling that a Curioshell Crab is nearby.

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

Remember, the Curioshell Crab is quick, so anticipate its movement and aim ahead of its path to secure the catch. Other reliable spots include Area 13 of the Windward Plains and Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest, though it can spawn in various other areas across the maps as well.
