Monster Hunter Wilds: A Prize Held High Trophy Guide

May 08,2025 Author: Daniel

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a wide array of activities to engage in beyond just hunting the largest beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's your guide to success.

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

Contrary to what the trophy's description might suggest about dragons or wyverns, your target is actually the Curioshell Crab, which you can capture using the Capture Net.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be challenging since it appears across various maps. However, our most reliable spot has been the Scarlet Forest. From the base camp, head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, located between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach this area, check the nearby water puddle, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If it's not immediately visible, Alma can help by mentioning if a nearby creature is holding something, indicating a Curioshell Crab's presence.

Equip your Capture Net, align the reticle until it turns orange, and shoot to capture the crab. Successfully doing so will net you both a Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

The Curioshell Crab moves quickly, so anticipate its path and aim ahead to capture it effectively. Other reliable spots include Area 13 of the Windward Plains and Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Though it may spawn elsewhere, these are our tested locations.

That covers everything you need to know to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, visit The Escapist.

*Monster Hunter Wilds* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
