In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a world of activities beyond just hunting the largest creatures. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's a detailed guide to help you achieve it.

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

Contrary to what the trophy's name might suggest, your target isn't dragons or wyverns but the elusive Curioshell Crab. To catch this creature, you'll need to use the Capture Net.

Finding the Curioshell Crab can be a challenge 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, located between Areas 2 and 6. Once you're there, focus on the nearby puddle of water—a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If you're having trouble spotting it, Alma can assist by pointing out if a creature nearby is carrying something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab.

Equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then fire to capture the crab. Successfully doing so will net you both the Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin. Remember, the Curioshell Crab moves quickly, so anticipate its path and aim ahead to secure your catch.

If the Scarlet Forest doesn't yield results, try Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. The Curioshell Crab can appear in other areas as well, but these are the locations we've found most successful.

That's everything you need to know about unlocking the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and tricks, be sure to check out The Escapist.
