For all the completionists and trophy hunters out there, you’ll be thrilled to learn that *Monster Hunter Wilds* offers some challenging hidden achievements. But don't worry—we've got you covered on how to unlock them all.
All Hidden and Secret Achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds
*Monster Hunter Wilds* features 12 secret achievements. Seven of these are linked to the main storyline and will unlock as you progress through the game. The remaining 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.
Some of these achievements are straightforward, while others require more specific actions. Let's delve into how to unlock each one:
I Caught a Shooting Star!
To achieve this, head to Zone 11 of the Windward Plains at night. Equip some screamer pods and keep an eye out for a Baunos flying near the gathering spots. Use the screamer pods to stun it, then swiftly catch it with your Capture Net.
A Prize Held High
You can accomplish this in nearly any map by finding tight corners or dead ends. Specifically, go to Zone 6 of the Scarlet Forest and look for a small puddle of water. Use your Capture Net to catch the small golden crab lurking there. Alma will often comment if you're near a creature with an Ancient Wyvern Coin, so listen for her hints.
A Legacy Restored
Once you reach High Rank missions, start crafting Artian gear. To obtain Rarity 8 weapons and materials, you'll need to hunt Tempered monsters using Rarity 7 gear.
Seasoned Hunter
Don't confuse Tempered monsters with Frenzied ones; the former will be outlined in purple on your minimap, while the latter are marked in red. Both slaying and capturing Tempered monsters contribute to this achievement. They start appearing from Chapter 4 onwards in High Rank content.
Top of the Food Chain
This achievement requires hunting 50 Apex Predators. Note that only the following monsters count towards this goal: Rey, Dau, Uth, Duna, Nu, Udra, and Jin Dahaad.
That's how to unlock all the hidden achievements in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including the best gathering set to use, be sure to check out The Escapist.
