In Monster Hunter Wilds you can not only succumb, but also catch. We explain to you what advantages this can have, how you can catch them and how you make sure that you don’t accidentally change them.
What is the advantage of catching towards susceptible? In contrast to the succumb, if you catch a monster, you can get more and often rarer objects out of them. In addition, the hunting period is shortened because you only have to weaken the monsters and do not have to succumb.
But be careful: Some rare materials can only be preserved if the monsters hunt. These items are then excluded when catching, so you can’t avoid it.
So that you can catch your target monster successfully, we will explain to you what you should pay attention to.

So your monster is successful
In order to catch a monster successfully and not to be unintentionally reduced, you should consider the following steps and tips:
Make objects and have ready
So that you can catch a monster, you should have the following items with you:
You can make these items yourself. You can find the materials for this in the areas. For the traps, you need falling devices that you can buy from the supply camp for 200 Zennys each:
At the supply camp you will find the necessary trap devices
For the production you go to your tent and then go to the menu item “Manufacturing list”. There you will find all the objects you need to catch on page 6:
On page 6 of the manufacturing list you will find everything you need
You need the following materials to make:
It is best to place the objects in your bag right next to each other or you use your cake menu, because if you have lured the monster into the trap first, everything has to go quickly, otherwise you have wasted your chance.
This is particularly annoying, since you can only take one in the bag per case type. If they are consumed, you have to fill back to a camp and your supplies. If you have placed a trap incorrectly, you can easily pick it up again.
Tap the monster and find the right moment
If you want to catch a beast instead of succumbing to it, you first have to weaken it. You do this by tapping it properly. If the monster is so far that you can catch it, this is shown to you via a small skull on the map on the monster:
The skull serves as an indicator that you can catch the monster
Are there any further information? In addition, you give you your Palico or the auxiliary hunters, you should have what you have, shouts and information as soon as a monster is ready to catch. So you should listen well and pay attention to statements such as “soon done” and then take a look and then take a look at the minimap.
Likewise, the monster, shortly before his death, usually withdraws from the area back to its nest. It often looks pretty torn and limp. If you observe all of these indicators, you can hardly miss the right time.
Use the trap and bombs correctly
If you are ready to catch the monster, you have to set up a trap and lure the monster in. Often it is enough to place them and stand behind it, then the monsters will eventually come all by themselves, provided they are aggressive towards you.
Once the animal has fled into its nest, it will usually dive into a short slumber anyway. You can then take advantage of this for your project.
If the trap is placed, you have to lure the monster in
Does it matter what trap I use? No, not every case works with every monster and not every monster can be caught. For example, Rey Dau is immune to shock traps and Jin Dahaad cannot be captured. With many other monsters you can choose freely.
If the monster is in the trap, you have to calm it down with calming bombs, calmunition or calming blades. For this, 2 of the respective item is usually sufficient to catch the monster safely. Provided you meet with it.
You can successfully catch the monster with calming bombs
If you do everything right, you have sagged your catch successfully and the hunt is over. You don’t have to do anything else and get a shortened end timer for your quest of 20 seconds. Afterwards, you will receive the screen with your materials that you received.
