From completing quests to successfully landing tough attacks, the trophies in this game are as varied as its monsters, with a whopping 50 total for players to unlock. Some trophies are nearly impossible to miss, while others seem inconceivably difficult.
Whether you’re a completionist trying to get that last achievement or just want bragging rights over your friends, this guide will help you get every last trophy in Monster Hunter Wilds!
General Gameplay Achievements
These are all the general gameplay achievements that can be unlocked in the game. This category covers a wide range of achievements that can be tied to your overall progress and story progression in the game.
These trophies mostly cover milestones like completing mechanic-specific tutorials, crafting specific gear, or just exploring new areas. While some may unlock naturally as you play, others will require a hefty amount of grinding to obtain.
For the most part, however, these are the base game trophies that just about anyone can unlock simply by playing the game to its fullest.

How to Unlock
The Bigger They Are…

Giant Crown
Obtained your first Silver Crown or higher in the Hunting Log.
You need to obtain your first Silver Crown (or higher) in the Hunting Log to get this achievement, which you should be able to get automatically through the story.

Let the Investigations Begin!

Using the binoculars, you can spot Crown monsters out in the wild; to get one with a Miniature Crown, look for one that looks like a Gold Crown but is a little shorter.
Bourgeois Hunter

This achievement can be unlocked simply by saving your currency and progressing naturally through the game. You can also sell items like materials or catch fish to give your in-game wallet an extra boost.
Someone Worth Following
Completed 100 quests with your Palico deployed.
Go on and complete at least 100 quests with your Palico by your side. You can only deploy your Palico if you go alone or with one other hunter, so don’t try to get this achievement at the same time as “Hunters United Forever”.
A Keen-eyed Observation

Once you’ve unlocked the binoculars, use them to spy on monsters in the wild until you’ve come across a large monster with a Gold Crown.
Miniature Crown Collector

You can spot Crown monsters in the wild using the binoculars; to get ones with Miniature Crowns, look for the ones that look like they have a Gold Crown but are a little shorter. Do this for as many monsters as you possibly can. There are 26 monsters in the game that can have a miniature crown.
Giant Crown Collector
Obtained a Gold Crown for 10 or more monsters in the Hunting Log.
Using the binoculars, you’ll be able to spot monsters with Crowns out in the wild. Look for monsters with an icon that looks like a golden crown, and do this for at least 10 monsters.

Using the binoculars, you’ll be able to spot monsters with Crowns out in the wild. Look for monsters with an icon that looks like a golden crown, and then repeat as many times as necessary.

Hunting Achievements
These are all the hunting-related achievements that can be unlocked in the game.
Most of these trophies are earned by defeating/capturing specific monsters, defeating them under certain conditions, or by using certain strategies to take them down.
A lot of these achievements are as straightforward as they are tough; most of them aren’t that complex, but it’ll still take you a while to complete them regardless.
Achievement/Trophy Name
Requirements
How to Unlock
Hunter-Assassin
Performed your first successful Sneak Attack.
This achievement can be obtained fairly easily simply by sneaking up behind a monster and performing a Sneak Attack. If you’re having trouble with this, try equipping the Ghillie Mantle prior to attacking.
Hit ‘Em Where it Hurts!
Landed 50 successful attacks on weak points or wounds in Focus Mode.
To get this achievement, you’ll need to land at least 50 Focus Strikes on open wounds while battling.
Monster Ph.D.
Hunted many different large monsters.
To unlock this achievement, you’ll need to hunt all the base game’s 29 different monsters at least once. Most of these will be covered in the main story, so try not to worry too much about this one early on.
Seasoned Hunter
Hunted 50 tempered monsters.
This achievement can be unlocked by hunting 50 tempered monsters, which are unlocked after completing the “Wyvern Spark and Rose Thorns” main quest. These monsters will appear in every region once the quest has been completed.
Monster Slayer
Hunted 100 large monsters.
All you need to do is hunt down 100 large monsters, which can be done surprisingly easily through the game’s main story. If you still haven’t reached 100 after you’ve completed the game, then all you have to do is pick up the few remaining stragglers you need afterward.
Top of the Food Chain
Hunted 50 apex predators.
Among the naturally spawning monsters in the wild, there are apex predators, which are the most dangerous and aggressive monsters of each area. Currently, there are 4 known apex predators in the game: Rey Dau, Nu Udra, Uth Duna, and Jin Dahad. These can be found in the Windward Plains, the Oilwell Basin, the Scarlet Forest, and the Iceshard Cliffs.
Capture Pro
Captured 50 monsters.
After you’ve completed the Capture Tutorial in the main story, you’ll be able to go out and collect the materials necessary for capturing monsters. Do this, and then repeat until you’ve reached 50 captures.
Established Hunter
Reached Hunter Rank 100.
Before you can get this achievement, you’ll need to first complete the main story. Once the main story has been completed, the rank cap will be removed, and you’ll then be able to climb the ranks up to 100.
Most of these achievements are super grindy, and aren’t the types to be unlocked in a single afternoon. If you’re trying to unlock all the game’s trophies as fast as you can, then you’ll probably want to start working on these achievements as early as possible, in conjunction with other achievements.

Mission And Quest Achievements
These are all the game’s achievements that are related to missions and quests—and if there’s one thing that this game has a lot of, it’s missions and quests.
Most of these achievements can be obtained simply by completing the main story’s missions, so they’re some of the easiest that the game has to offer.
For completionists, this category will be a total breeze for you; most of these are completely unmissable as long as you just play the game as it was intended.
Achievement/Trophy Name
Requirements
How to Unlock
Windward Lands
Completed mission: The Desert Trotters.
This achievement is pretty much unmissable. All you need to do is complete the game’s first mission.
Shadow in the Downpour
Completed mission: Long-Forgotten Flame.
The “Long-Forgotten Flame” is a story mission available early in the game and is impossible to miss.
Bringer of Harmony
Completed mission: Monster Hunter.
This achievement is story-related and will become available towards the end of the story. There will be a strong “boss” monster you’ll have to face prior to the credits rolling, which you’ll need to defeat in order to get this achievement.
New Ecosystems
Completed mission: New Ecosystems.
This mission will become available to players after the initial story has been completed. New Ecosystems will be the very first mission you’ll receive post-game, so don’t worry too much about missing it.
A Bitter Environment
Completed mission: Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns.
This achievement’s required mission can be completed simply by going along with the story. The “Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns” quest removes the HR 20 limit for players, so you’ll need to reach HR 20 prior to taking it on.
Beyond the Black Wings
Completed mission: A World Turned Upside Down.
This achievement’s mission, “A World Turned Upside Down”, will become available to players in Chapter 5 of the game’s main story. This achievement is unmissable as long as you maintain consistent story progression.
One Corner of the World
Completed mission: What Lies Ahead.
The “What Lies Ahead” mission is the final mission of the main story. Once it’s been completed, you’ll have officially “beaten” the game, along with gaining this achievement.
A True Hunter is Never Satisfied
Completed 50 quests.
This one is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is complete at least 50 quests, most of which will be taken care of during the main story.
A Step Toward Mutual Understanding
Completed your first side mission.
You can unlock this achievement by completing your first side mission. One of the easiest side missions that you can get early on is the “Fishing: Life, in Microscosm” mission given to you by Kanya.
East to West, A Hunter Never Rests
Completed 30 different side missions.
This achievement requires you to complete 30 different side missions unrelated to the main story, not including optional quests.

Miscellaneous Achievements
These are the random, miscellaneous achievements that, for the most part, aren’t related to the main story progression.

Achievement/Trophy Name
Requirements
How to Unlock
Angling for a Bite
Successfully fished for the first time.

I Caught a Shooting Star!
Caught a creature in the desert that shines like a shooting star.
In the Windward Plains at night, you’ll be able to find a glowing blue rodent called the Sandstar. You’ll need to capture it to unlock the achievement, but you’ll also eventually get a quest from the twins in the base camp later on to capture a form of endemic life, so you might want to wait until you’ve received that quest before capturing it. That way, you’ll be killing two birds with one stone.
A Prize Held High
Caught a creature that bears an ancient wyvern coin.
In the Flowering Rocks area in the Scarlet Forest, you’ll be able to come across a monster called the Curioshell Crab. Capture at least one to unlock this achievement.

Set up at least 10 different pop-up camps around the map.
