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

Author : Sarah Update:Apr 21,2025

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.

Once you reach this area, keep an eye on the nearby puddle of water—a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If the crab is hard to spot, Alma can assist you. She'll mention if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

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.

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