How To Get the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds

By AidenMar 25,2025

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, your adventures aren't limited to just battling the fiercest beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's your step-by-step guide to make it happen.

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

Contrary to what you might expect from the trophy's name, it's not about dragons or wyverns. Instead, your target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, which you can capture using the Capture Net.

Finding this creature can be a challenge 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. If you haven't discovered this location yet, it's nestled 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 it's not immediately visible, Alma can help. She'll mention if the creature is holding something, signaling that a Curioshell Crab is nearby.

To capture it, equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then fire. A successful capture will net you both the Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Be quick, as the Curioshell Crab moves fast. Anticipate its path and fire ahead to ensure you catch it. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might also find it in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Remember, it could appear in other areas too, but these are our tested spots.

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, check out The Escapist.
