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

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a world of activities beyond just hunting the largest beasts. If you're looking to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's a detailed guide to help you achieve it.

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

While the name might suggest a connection to dragons or wyverns, the key to this achievement lies in capturing a different creature—the Curioshell Crab. To do this, you'll need to use the Capture Net.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be challenging as it appears across various maps. Our recommended spot is the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head to Area 6, known as Flowering Rocks. If you haven't discovered this location yet, it's nestled between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach Flowering Rocks, check the nearby water puddle, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If you struggle to spot it, Alma can help. 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 shoot to capture the crab. Success here not only nets you the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Given the crab's quick movement, anticipate its path and shoot ahead to capture it effectively. Besides the Scarlet Forest, the Curioshell Crab can also be found in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. While it might spawn elsewhere, these are the most reliable locations we've identified so far.
