How to capture an Ancient Wyvern Coin creature in Monster Hunter Wilds (A Prize Held High trophy)

Trophy hunters will have a field day with Monster Hunter Wilds‘ extensive achievement collection. Most will have you knocking heads with many beasts, but a few focus on capturing critters. Here’s how to capture a creature that bears an Ancient Wyvern Coin in Monster Hunter Wilds.

All Ancient Wyvern Coin creature locations in Monster Hunter Wilds

To earn the A Prize Held High trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must look for Curioshell Crabs in Windward Plains’ Zones 13 and 6. While you’re traveling around these areas, Alma might ask, “Is that a creature holding something?” This is a clear indicator that a creature with an Ancient Wyvern Coin is close to you. It may not always happen, but try to look around these zones to see if this notification pops up.

If Alma notifies you, you should see a crab with a coin. Use your Capture Net to get it, which you may have already utilized during Dareel’s Research Report quest. Wait until the target illuminates a yellow color, and you should be all set to get the trophy.

Those using Zone 13 must venture into the cave entrance, which was shown during Monster Hunter Wilds’ weapon tutorial phase. This creature may have other locations, as it has known habitats in the Plains, Forest, Basin, Cliffs, and Wyveria. However, the one for the trophy seems to spawn more in the Windward Plains.

You can exchange rare items with the Ancient Wyvern Coin from the crab. Scarlet Forest’s Wudwud Hideout utilizes this currency, which you can use when speaking to Gawdygog. Provide this Wudwud with 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins for materials like the Dalthydon Wool, Great Hornfly, and Monster Chili. Although you’ll only earn one coin for Monster Hunter Wilds‘ A Prize Held High trophy, you can continue to collect more of them through missions or random drops from monsters.
