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

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a whole world of activities beyond just hunting the largest creatures. If you're looking 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 actual target is the Curioshell Crab. You'll need to use your Capture Net to snag this elusive creature.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be a bit tricky since it appears across various maps. Our most reliable spot has been the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head towards Area 6, known as the Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, which lies between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach the Flowering Rocks, check the nearby puddle of water, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If you're having trouble spotting 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 fire to capture the crab. A successful capture will net you not only the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

The Curioshell Crab is quick, so anticipate its movements and aim ahead of its path 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, it can spawn in other areas too, but these are the spots we've confirmed.

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