A Prize Held High Trophy Guide

While the Curioshell Crab can actually be found in all five of the various open zones of Monster Hunter Wilds, we managed to find it pretty easily in the Scarlet Forest, specifically near the Area 6 Pop-Up Campsite, Flowering Rocks Tent.

You don’t need to set up the camp (if you don’t have an extra slot), but if you face away from the campsite (looking north) and then walk towards the small body of water, you might spot a Curioshell Crab scurrying around.

To find the Capture Net, hold down L1/LB and scroll through your items. Press Square/X to equip the net, hold R2/RT to ready it, and hit R2/RT to fire. Sometimes, Alma will comment if she spots a peculiar creature, so be sure to listen to her. In our game, she said, “Is that creature holding something?” and referred to the crawling Curioshell Crab.

If you manage to successfully catch the Crab, not only will its information be added to your Endmemic Life Field Guide, but you should also get an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
