In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a world of activities beyond just tackling the largest beasts. If you're on a quest to earn the "A Prize Held High" trophy or achievement, here's a detailed guide to help you succeed.

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

You might initially think the trophy involves dragons or wyverns, but your real target is the Curioshell Crab. This creature can be captured using the Capture Net, which is key to unlocking this achievement.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be challenging as it appears across various maps. Our most reliable spot has been in the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp. If you haven't located this site yet, it's situated between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach 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 assist. She'll mention if a creature nearby is holding something, signaling a Curioshell Crab's presence.

Equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and fire to capture the crab. A successful capture will net you not only the Curioshell Crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Be aware, the Curioshell Crab moves quickly, 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. It could potentially spawn in other areas too, but these are the spots we've confirmed so far.

That covers everything you need to know about obtaining the "A Prize Held High" trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, keep searching The Escapist.
