How to Beat and Capture Quematrice In Monster Hunter Wilds

Ready to take on the fiery Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? Don't let its flames and meat-stealing antics intimidate you. We've got the ultimate guide to help you conquer this beast, covering its weaknesses, effective strategies, attacks to dodge, and how to not only defeat but also capture the Quematrice.

How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Quematrice, a giant chicken-like creature reminiscent of the Cockatrice, is a formidable foe that breathes fire instead of turning you to stone. As a mid-sized monster, it's vulnerable to most weapons, but its area-based attacks make ranged weapons a safer choice for less confident hunters.

**Weaknesses:** Water
**Resistances:** N/A
**Immunities:** Sonic Bomb

When facing the Quematrice, be wary of its tail attacks. The tail slam, where it raises its tail high before slamming it down, is particularly dangerous if you're positioned behind it. Sidestepping or blocking can help you avoid this heavy hit. However, the real threat comes from its fire-based attacks, which not only deal immediate damage but can also set you and the ground ablaze, causing continuous health drain.

These fire attacks are tricky to anticipate. The Quematrice might rear its head and roar before igniting a flame from its tail, or perform a full sweep after lifting its head and tail, engulfing everything around it in fire. It can also charge at you, turning at the last moment to unleash a fiery blast. If you're using ranged weapons, start moving backward as soon as you see these moves to minimize damage.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires the right tools: a Shock Trap, a Pitfall Trap, and at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap is technically enough, having a backup is crucial in *Monster Hunter* games, especially if the monster flees or another creature triggers it.

Once the Quematrice is weakened to the point of limping, or you notice the skull icon on the mini-map, it's time to set your trap. For a smoother capture, wait until the monster moves to a new area after limping away. Place your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to secure your catch.
