A Prize Held High: Unlocking the Trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds

Author : Charlotte Update:Apr 15,2025

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a wealth of activities to dive into beyond just hunting the largest beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve it.

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

While the trophy's description might lead you to think it involves dragons or wyverns, the real target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, which you can capture using the Capture Net.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be a bit tricky as it appears across various maps. The most effective spot we've found is in the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head towards Area 6, specifically the Flowering Rocks pop-up camp. If you haven't discovered this location yet, it's nestled between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach the Flowering Rocks, focus your attention on the nearby puddle of water. This is a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If you're having trouble spotting it, Alma can assist you. She'll mention if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

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

Be aware that the Curioshell Crab moves quickly, so anticipate its path and aim ahead to ensure a successful capture. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might also find it in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Keep in mind, the crab can appear in other areas as well, but these are the locations we've found most reliable.

That's all you need to know about securing the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
