In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a wealth of activities to dive into, and not all of them involve chasing down the game's largest beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's a detailed guide on how to achieve this in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
How to Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
Despite what the trophy's description might suggest, you won't be tangling with dragons or wyverns for this one. Instead, your target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, which you can capture using the Capture Net.
Finding the Curioshell Crab can be tricky, as it's scattered across various maps. However, our most successful approach has been to head to the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and navigate to Area 6, known as the Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, situated between Areas 2 and 6.
To capture it, equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then fire. A successful capture will net you not only a Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
Remember, the Curioshell Crab moves swiftly, so anticipate its path and aim ahead to secure your catch. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might also find it in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. While it can appear in other areas as well, these are the locations where we've had the most success.
