In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's a world of activities beyond just hunting the largest beasts. If you're aiming to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's a detailed guide to help you succeed.
How to Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
Contrary to what the trophy description might suggest, your target isn't a dragon or wyvern but the elusive Curioshell Crab. You'll need your Capture Net to catch this creature.
Finding the Curioshell Crab can be challenging since it appears in various locations across the maps. Our most reliable spot has been the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head towards Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, located between Areas 2 and 6.

Equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and then capture the Curioshell Crab. A successful capture not only nets you the crab but also an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
The Curioshell Crab moves quickly, so anticipate its path and aim ahead to ensure a successful capture. Other reliable spots include Area 13 of the Windward Plains and Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest, though it can potentially spawn in other areas as well.
That's all the information you need to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and guides, visit The Escapist.
