"Mastering Monster Capture in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Slaying monsters can be thrilling, but sometimes you need to capture them to collect all their valuable parts. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to capture monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward but requires precise timing. To successfully capture a monster, you need to weaken it first. Your trusty Palico will alert you when a monster is weak, but you can also watch for other indicators such as a skull icon appearing over the monster on your minimap, or signs of the monster limping or drooling, indicating low HP.

Once the monster is sufficiently weakened, it's time to set your trap. Choose between a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap, and strategically place it on the ground. Lure the monster into the trap's vicinity. When the monster steps onto the trap, it will be immobilized for a brief period. This is your cue to use Tranq Bombs—typically one or two should suffice to capture the monster. Alternatively, you can use Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, depending on your weapon and preferred play style.

Successfully capturing a monster will conclude your quest, and you'll be returned to Base Camp to reap the rewards.

How to Get Traps and Tranq Items

While your Palico may occasionally set traps for you, it's more reliable to bring your own. There are two primary types of traps: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. Crafting a Pitfall Trap requires a Trap Tool and a Net, which can be made from Spiderwebs or Ivy. For a Shock Trap, you'll need a Trap Tool and a Thunderbug Capacitor.

For Tranq items, crafting a Tranq Bomb involves combining a Sleep Herb with a Parashroom. These Tranq Bombs can be further combined with Throwing Knives to create Tranq Blades, or with Normal Ammo to make Tranq Ammo.
