Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a thrilling experience, but sometimes, capturing them is the key to unlocking all their valuable parts. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively capture monsters in the game.

Capturing Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward yet requires precision. The process involves weakening the monster, setting a trap, and then using a Tranq item to secure the capture. It's easier than it sounds!

Your Palico will alert you when a monster is weak, but there are other indicators to watch for. A small skull icon will appear over the monster's icon on your minimap, and you'll notice the monster limping or drooling, signaling low HP.

Once the monster is weakened, it's time to set your trap. Choose between a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap and place it strategically on the ground. Lure the monster into the trap, and once it's caught, it will be incapacitated for a brief period. This is your cue to throw one or two Tranq Bombs at the monster to complete the capture. Alternatively, you can use Tranq Ammo or Tranq Blades, depending on your weapon and preferred playstyle.

Successfully capturing a monster will conclude the quest and return you to Base Camp.

How to Get Traps and Tranq Items

While your Palico may occasionally set traps for you, it's wise to bring your own. There are two types of traps available: Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps. To craft a Pitfall Trap, you'll need a Trap Tool and either Spiderwebs or Ivy. For a Shock Trap, combine a Trap Tool with a Thunderbug Capacitor.

For Tranq items, you can craft Tranq Bombs using a Sleep Herb and a Parashroom. These can then be combined with Throwing Knives to create Tranq Blades or with Normal Ammo to make Tranq Ammo.
